Retrieve a geodatabase license file from an ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes deployment for use with creating/enabling an enterprise geodatabase

Summary

Note:
This workflow requires namespace admin privileges on a machine that can connect to the Kubernetes cluster using the kubectl client.

The resulting file should be transferred to a network share accessible to the machine running ArcGIS Pro, or the machine itself, for use as an input to the geoprocessing tools: Enable Enterprise Geodatabase or Create Enterprise Geodatabase.

Procedure

Run the following command in a bash prompt (the location can be updated to any writable path):

kubectl get secret arcgis-server-license -o jsonpath="{.data.*}" -n <namespace> | base64 --decode | grep sde > ~/geodatabase.ecp

Note:
This is applicable to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 and 10.9.1.
