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.

  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-sp1-<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

    • 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 (for details on using the sdesetup<dbms> command for your database, please go to the admin command guide under the %SDEHOME%\documentation folder for more information on using this command):

      % sdesetupora9i -o upgrade –u sde –p <SDE_Admin_password>

    • (Oracle only) After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:

      ALTER ANY INDEX
      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

    • Start your service again.

      % sdemon -o start

Server Install for Windows

  • Windows Installation Notes:

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

      To find out what products are currently installed on your machine, download the ServicePackFinder91.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 Desktop (ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo) Includes the ArcReader fixes for the ArcReader FEATURE.
      • ArcGIS Desktop Developer Kit
      • ArcGIS Engine Runtime
      • ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit
      • ArcGIS Server
      • ArcGIS Server .NET ADF
      • ArcGIS Server Java ADF
      • ArcGIS Tutorial Data
      • ArcReader standalone
      • ArcIMS
      • ArcSDE

      NOTE (ArcIMS and ArcGIS Desktop users): If you use ArcIMS 9.1 or ArcGIS Desktop 9.1, you must also install ArcIMS 9.1 Service Pack 1 or ArcGIS 9.1 Service Pack 1. For example, if you use ArcIMS 9.1 and ArcSDE 9.1, install both ArcIMS 9.1 Service Pack 1 and ArcSDE 9.1 Service Pack 1. Since ArcIMS 9.1, ArcSDE 9.1 and the ArcGIS 9.1 products share common DLLs, it is important to keep the software release versions in sync to avoid any software conflicts.

      NOTE (ArcGIS Server users): If you have ArcGIS Server 9.1 and any other ArcGIS product installed on your machine, we recommend that you install the ArcGIS 9.1 Server Service Pack before installing the remaining Service Packs. Since ArcGIS Server and the ArcGIS 9.1 products share common DLLs, it is important to keep the software release versions in sync to avoid any software conflicts.

      NOTE (ArcSDE for SQL Server users): If you plan to upgrade your database to SQL Server 2005, there are certain post installation steps that must be performed manually that are outlined in the 'Setting up SQL Server 2005 for ArcSDE 9.1 SP1' Guide. You can access the Guide from here or you can save it to your system: Setup_SQL_Server_2005_for_ArcSDE_91_SP1.pdf.

Installation Steps

  1. Make sure you have write access to the ArcSDE installation folder, that no one is using ArcSDE, and that the ArcSDE service is down.

    NOTE: If you do not to shut down the ArcSDE service before installing this Service Pack, you will be prompted and required to reboot your server machine in order to successfully complete the Service Pack installation.

  2. Download the appropriate files to a location other than the ArcSDE installation folder:

    DB2  
    ArcSDE-DB2-91sp1.msp 2 MB
    Informix

    ArcSDE-Oracle9i-91sp1.msp 2 MB
    SQL Server  
    ArcSDE-SQLServer-91sp1.msp 2 MB

  3. Double-click the ArcSDE-<Database>-91sp1.msp to start the install process.

    NOTE: If double clicking on the MSP file does not start the Service Pack installation, you can run the Service Pack manually by using the following commands.

    • msiexec.exe /p [location of service pack]\ArcSDE-<Database>-91sp1.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus

  4. When Setup starts, follow the instructions on your screen.
  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

    • 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 (for details on using the sdesetup<dbms> command for your database, please go to the admin command guide under the %SDEHOME%\documentation folder for more information on using this command):

      % sdesetupora9i -o upgrade –u sde –p <SDE_Admin_password>

    • (Oracle only) After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:

      ALTER ANY INDEX
      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
