ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1

 

Three of the ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1 setups (ArcIMS93sp1.msp, ims93-mapsrvr-sp1-linux.tar and ims93-mapsrvr-sp1-slrs.tar) have been replaced to address the following additional fix:

NIM040214 - Validating geodatabase topology containing overlapping curves may produce incorrect results. Please see Technical Article 35833 for more information.

NOTE: If you've installed ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1 prior to November 24, 2008, simply install ArcGIS 9.3 SP1 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Topology Validation Patch to fix this issue. You do not need to re-install ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1.

NOTE: If you've already installed ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1 and the ArcGIS 9.3 SP1 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Topology Validation Patch, you do not need to re-install Service Pack 1.

NOTE: To check for the presence of ArcGIS 9.3 SP1 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Topology Validation Patch or the updated 9.3 Service Pack 1 (9.3 SP1),

  • Under the <installation folder>\ArcGIS\Bin folder, right click the GdbTopo.dll file
  • Select Properties
  • On the Version tab, the File version for GdbTopo.dll should read: 9.3.1.1851.

Installing this Service Pack

Windows Installation Notes:

It is important to keep all versions of ArcGIS products installed on the same machine in sync to avoid any software conflicts.

To find out what products are currently installed on your machine, download the PatchFinder93.exe utility and run it from your local machine. This utility provides a report detailing which ArcGIS products are currently installed on your machine. This will help determine which product Service Packs you should install on your machine. The report also details which service packs have been installed. The report is displayed when the utility is run and a servicepack.txt log file is created in your temp folder. The Service Pack Finder utility searches for the following ArcGIS products.

ArcGIS ArcReader
ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo) Includes the ArcReader fixes for the ArcReader FEATURE.
ArcGIS Desktop Developer Kit for the Microsoft .NET Framework, VB6, VBA and Visual C++
ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit for C++, the Java Platform, the Microsoft .NET Framework, VB6 and Visual C++
ArcGIS Engine Runtime
ArcGIS Image Server
ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework
ArcGIS Server for the Java Platform
ArcGIS Server Web ADF Runtime for the Microsoft .NET Framework
ArcIMS
ArcIMS Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework
ArcIMS Web ADF for the Java Platform
ArcSDE

NOTE (ArcSDE and ArcGIS Desktop users): If you use ArcSDE 9.3 or ArcGIS Desktop 9.3, you must also install ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 or ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1. For example, if you use ArcIMS 9.3 and ArcSDE 9.3, install both ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1 and ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1. Since ArcIMS 9.3, ArcSDE 9.3 and the ArcGIS 9.3 products share common DLLs, it is important to keep the software release versions in sync to avoid any software conflicts.
