Installing the Patch

Since this Patch replaces 9.3.1 files, you must have ArcGIS 9.3.1 installed before you can install this Patch. For the same reason, you shouldn't install it while anyone is using ArcGIS.

Installing this patch on Sun Solaris, SUSE Linux and Red Hat Linux (Intel)


Run the following install steps as the ArcGISEngine or ArcGISServer Install owner, (NOT super user). The Install owner is the owner of the arcgis folder. For ArcGIS Server, make sure no one is using ArcGIS Server during the install.

  1. For ArcGIS Server, stop the ArcGIS server by typing:
    % arcgis/scripts/stopserver
  2. Extract the specified tar file by typing:
    % tar -xvf gis931-engine-gup-patch-linux.tar (Linux)
    % tar -xvf gis931-engine-gup-patch-slrs.tar (Sun Solaris)
    % tar -xvf gis931-server-gup-patch-linux.tar (Linux)
    % tar -xvf gis931-server-gup-patch-slrs.tar (Sun Solaris)
  3. Start the installation by typing:
    % ./applypatch
    This will start the dialog for the menu-driven installation procedure. Default selections are noted in parentheses ( ). To quit the installation procedure, type 'q' at any time.
