  2. Stop your current ArcSDE service, if one is running.

% 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.

  1. Extract the specified tar file by typing:

    % tar -xvf sde931-sp1-<Database>-<Platform>.tar

  2. Start the installation by typing:

    % ./applypatch

  3. 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.

  4. (This step is for Oracle only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)
    Before running "sdesetup -o upgrade", 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 INDEXTYPE
    CREATE LIBRARY
    CREATE OPERATOR
    CREATE PROCEDURE
    CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM
    CREATE SESSION
    CREATE SEQUENCE
    CREATE TABLE
    CREATE TRIGGER
    CREATE TYPE
    DROP ANY INDEX
    DROP ANY PROCEDURE
    DROP ANY SEQUENCE
    DROP ANY TABLE
    DROP ANY VIEW
    DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
    SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
    SELECT ANY TABLE
    UNLIMITED TABLESPACE

  5. To upgrade, run sdesetup. Failure to do so may cause problems in starting the service or with connecting to the geodatabase. Please go to the admin command guide under the %SDEHOME%\documentation folder for more information on using this command:

    %sdesetup -o upgrade -d <ORACLE9I|ORACLE10G|ORACLE11G|SQLSERVER|DB2|INFORMIX|POSTGRESQL> -D <database_name> -s <datasource> –u <DB_Admin_User> –p <DB_Admin_password>

  6. (This step is for Oracle only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)
    After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:

    ANALYZE ANY
    ALTER ANY INDEX
    ALTER ANY TABLE
    CREATE ANY INDEX
    CREATE ANY TRIGGER
    CREATE ANY VIEW
    DROP ANY INDEX
    DROP ANY TABLE

    DROP ANY PROCEDURE
    DROP ANY SEQUENCE
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
    SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
    CREATE INDEXTYPE
    CREATE LIBRARY
    CREATE OPERATOR
    CREATE TYPE

  7. Restart your service.

    % sdemon -o start

(This step only applies to Oracle or PostgreSQL users who have the ArcSDE component and the DBMS installed on separate servers. All other users proceed to the next step.)
 

For Oracle:

If you have the ArcSDE component and Oracle installed on separate servers, there are three shared libraries used by EXTPROC that must be copied to the Oracle server. Check the list of files altered by this patch. If any of the following files are on this list, new versions of the file must be copied to the Oracle server. Be sure the files copied to the Oracle server are designed to run on the operating system of the Oracle server. See the ArcSDE for Oracle installation guide for instructions.

If the file is not in the list, new versions of it do not need to be copied to the Oracle server.
