Important Note

Oracle Users with Oracle Locator and Spatial and All SQL Server Users - If you installed the ArcSDE 9.1 General Update Patch 3 (9.1 GUP3) prior to November 3, 2006, please download the updated setup file for your installation and re-apply the Patch. The reason for this is that after our initial release of 9.1 GUP3 we discovered that the setup file did not contain all the updates. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Installing the Patch

ArcSDE 9.1 Service Pack 2 must be installed before you can install this Patch. It is strongly recommended that you back up your database including all previous ArcSDE system tables and user layer data before upgrading your ArcSDE installation. Install this Patch using your SDE user account.

REQUIRED INSTALL STEP: If you connect to ArcSDE 9.1 via an Application Server and Direct Connect connections using ArcGIS 9.1, ArcIMS 9.1, or ArcView GIS 3.3 with DBA 2.1g make sure you also see ESRI Products connecting to ArcSDE (Application and Direct Connect connections).

Server Install for UNIX

During installation, you can either save the original 9.1 files or overwrite them. If you choose to save them, make sure you have enough disk space. The disk space requirements, for each platform, are displayed during the installation process.

1. Download the appropriate tar file to a location other than $SDEHOME:

2. Stop your current ArcSDE service.




% sdemon -o shutdown

NOTE (AIX only): You must remove any inactive libraries that are loaded into memory before proceeding to the next step. Not doing so will result in an installation error. To remove them, as ROOT user, type:

# /usr/sbin/slibclean

(Optional) To list the libraries loaded into memory, as ROOT user, type:

# /usr/sbin/genkld

For further information on the slibclean and genkld commands please refer to your AIX system administrator documentation.

3. Extract the specified tar file by typing:




% tar -xvf sde91-genpatch3-<Database>-<Platform>.tar

4. 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.

5. (Oracle only) Before upgrading your Oracle instance, you must grant the following additional permissions to the SDE user in Oracle:




ALTER ANY INDEX
ALTER ANY TABLE
ANALYZE ANY
CREATE ANY INDEX
CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
CREATE ANY SEQUENCE
CREATE ANY TRIGGER
CREATE ANY VIEW
CREATE SESSION
DROP ANY INDEX
DROP ANY TABLE
DROP ANY VIEW
DROP ANY PROCEDURE
DROP ANY SEQUENCE
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
SELECT ANY TABLE
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE

After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:

ALTER ANY TABLE
ANALYZE ANY
CREATE ANY INDEX
CREATE ANY TRIGGER
CREATE ANY VIEW
DROP ANY INDEX
DROP ANY TABLE
DROP ANY VIEW
DROP ANY PROCEDURE
DROP ANY SEQUENCE
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
SELECT ANY SEQUENCE



6. To upgrade, run sdesetup<dbms>. Failure to do so may cause problems in starting the service or with connecting to the service. Using Oracle 9i as an example:




% sdesetupora9i -o upgrade –u sde –p sdepassword

7. Start your service again.




% sdemon -o start

How to identify which Patch is installed

UNIX


To find out what ArcGIS products are currently installed on your machine, download and extract the PatchFinder.tar and run PatchFinder utility from your local machine. This utility provides a report detailing which ArcGIS products and which service packs have been installed. The PatchFinder utility searches for the following ArcGIS products.




ArcGIS Engine Runtime
ArcGIS Reader
ArcGIS Server
ArcIMS
ArcInfo Workstation
ArcSDE


Extract the tar file by typing:




% tar xvf PatchFinder.tar

Run the utility by typing:




% ./PatchFinder

Windows


To check for the presence of a Patch, for each file examine the unique identification information provided (right click, properties, version tab, item name, QFE Version). With only a few exceptions, all files modified as part of a Patch distribution can be uniquely identified in this manner. The identification string for this Patch should read:

QFE-SDE-91-CQ00296780
