Patches and updates
ArcSDE 9.1 General Update Patch
Summary
Description
Important information for identifying and repairing issues that the following bug may cause. It can potentially affect all supported ArcSDE 9.1 Databases. ArcSDE 8.x databases are not impacted by this issue:
CQ00279152 - Range query scanning states needs to use ORDER BY.
Problem summary
When working with Geodatabases in ArcSDE, users periodically compress the geodatabase. Part of the compress operation performs what's called a "trim" which updates and deletes rows from the delta tables (the A and D tables).
The problem may occur when the process of selecting what to update or delete does not return selected results from the delta tables in the expected order.
Please note that not all data is affected. If affected, there will only be a few states with this problem. Please also note this problem does not occur on 8.x geodatabases because the trim operation in that version of ArcSDE used a different selection method.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of the problem may include one or more of the following:
- Orphaned rows in the delta tables
- Edits being lost on reconcile
- Duplicate rows preventing compress.
Fixing the problem
Applying this patch will fix the software and will prevent the possibility of issues associated with this bug from occurring in your database. It does not fix any data issues that were caused by this bug prior to installing the patch. Data issues can be identified and repaired using a REPAIR utility which should also be installed and applied.
All users of versioned ArcSDE 9.1 geodatabases should apply the patch, regardless of whether their database is affected or not. Not all databases are impacted by this issue. However, those that are will need to be repaired.
Determining if a database is affected
A REPAIR utility is available to check for errors. You can download from this page (sde91gdbrepair.tar.Z or sde91gdbrepair.zip depending on your database and you operating system).
UNIX: Download the REPAIR utility. Uncompress and extract the specified tar file for your database. Ensure that the last letter of the file name is a capital Z. Otherwise, the uncompress command will not work.
Windows: Use WinZip to extract the REPAIR utility and User Guide.
Make sure to follow the instructions in the User Guide for installing and using the patch. The utility is called sdegdbrepair<dbms> where <dbms> is your database. For example, "sdegdbrepairora9i" is for an Oracle 9i database. You must back up your database in full including all ArcSDE system tables and user data before running the utility.
To determine if there are potential errors in your database:
See sdegdbrepairUserGuide.pdf that comes with the download of the utility.
When will the repair utility be available?
The Oracle 8i and 9i REPAIR utility that fixes potential data errors associated with this problem, is available for download as of October 14, 2005. The utility for the other Databases will be made available from this web page at a later date.
Installing the Patch
ArcSDE 9.1 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 2.1e make sure you also see ESRI Products connecting to ArcSDE (Application and Direct Connect connections).
Server Install for UNIX
Installation Steps:
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.
- Download the appropriate tar file to a location other than $SDEHOME:
- Stop your current ArcSDE service.
% sdemon -o shutdownNOTE (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.
- Extract the specified tar file by typing:
% tar -xvf sde91-genpatch-<Database>-<Platform>.tar - Start the installation by typing:
% ./applypatchThis 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.

How to identify which Patch is installed
- UNIX
Any modified UNIX executables (or libraries) being sent out as part of a Patch will return the unique identification number for that fix when checked with the "what" command for UNIX and the "strings" command for Linux. For example, to display the identification string for this Patch on UNIX, type:
%what gsrvr.static | grep QFE
QFE-SDE-91-CQ00279476
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-CQ00279476
