  • ArcSDE 9.2 SP5 for Oracle 9i and 10g.

    There is an issue with ArcSDE 9.2 Service Pack 5 when using Spatial Views. Features in a spatial view will not display when zooming. This issue occurs only with ArcSDE 9.2 Service Pack 5 for Oracle 9i and 10g (all operating system platforms), when features are stored as type SDEBINARY or SDELOB and when spatial views are part of the workflow. Geodatabase feature classes with geometry stored in Oracle 9i and 10g as type SDO_GEOMETRY or ST_GEOMETRY or in other databases are not affected. Please see Technical Article 34765 for more information.

    The ArcSDE 9.2 Oracle Binary and Lob Type Spatial View Patch is now available on a number of platforms, the other platforms will follow soon.

  • A CD of this Service Pack is available for users who experience difficulties downloading the Service Pack from the web site. Simply fill out the Request a Service Pack CD order form.

  • Note for Oracle Users Only: Due to changes incorporated with NIM013581, ESRI strongly recommends rebuilding spatial indexes on Spatial Type for Oracle (ST_Geometry) feature classes after installing Service Pack 5. Please see Technical Article 34460 (login required) for more information.

Installing this Service Pack

ArcSDE 9.2 must be installed before you can install this Service Pack. 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. If you have not yet applied the previous service pack, you do not have to do so before installing Service Pack 5 as it is cumulative and contains all fixes from the previous service pack. If you already have a previous service pack installed, you may apply Service Pack 5 over it to update the required files. Install this Service Pack using your SDE user account.

  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 sde92-sp5-<Database>-<Platform>.tar

  4. Start the installation by typing:

    % ./applypatch

  5. 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.

  6. (Oracle only) 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

  7. To upgrade, run sdesetup. Failure to do so may cause problems in starting the service or with connecting to the service. 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|SQLSERVER|DB2|INFORMIX> –u <DB_Admin_User> –p <DB_Admin_password>

  8. (Oracle only) 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 VIEW
    DROP ANY PROCEDURE
    DROP ANY SEQUENCE
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
    SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
    CREATE INDEXTYPE
    CREATE LIBRARY
    CREATE OPERATOR
    CREATE TYPE

  9. Start your service again.

    % sdemon -o start

  10. Only for users who have Oracle and ArcSDE installed on separate machines.

  11. If you are installing ArcSDE on a different server than Oracle, you must copy the shared libraries used by EXTPROC to the Oracle server. These libraries include st_shapelib plus the Geometry library and the Projection Engine library. (The names of these files vary depending on what operating system (OS) you are using.) Be sure the files copied to the Oracle server are designed to run on the operating system of the Oracle server. For example, if ArcSDE is installed on a Linux machine, but Oracle is installed on a Solaris machine, the library files you copy to the Oracle server must be for Solaris. To get the files for different operating system, you can install the software files of the ArcSDE component on the Oracle server, creating the SDEHOME files, and delete everything but the three required library files.

    Library Name OS-dependent file names
    st_shapelib st_shapelib.dll, libst_shapelib.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)
    Projection Engine pe.dll, libpe.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)
    Geometry sg.dll, libsg.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)

    These files can be found in the bin (Windows) or lib (UNIX/Linux) directory of SDEHOME after you've installed the ArcSDE component. You can copy these files to the %ORACLE_HOME%\lib (Windows) or $ORACLE_HOME/lib (UNIX/Linux) directory on the Oracle server, which is the default location that Oracle looks in for shared libraries. Or, you can leave these files where they were installed or move them into any directory that is accessible to the user that owns ORACLE_HOME.

  12. If you have more than one ArcSDE service, perform steps 1 through 8 for each of your ArcSDE services.

ArcSDE Server Install for Windows

  • 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     ServicePackFinder92.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 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 (ArcIMS and ArcGIS Desktop users): If you use ArcIMS 9.2 or ArcGIS Desktop 9.2, you must also install ArcIMS 9.2 Service Pack 5 or ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 5 . For example, if you use ArcIMS 9.2 and ArcSDE 9.2, install both ArcIMS 9.2 Service Pack 5 and ArcSDE 9.2 Service Pack 5. Since ArcIMS 9.2, ArcSDE 9.2 and the ArcGIS 9.2 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 Express users): The ArcSDE for SQL Server Express files are stored in the client application. Therefore, to apply a service pack to ArcSDE for SQL Server Express, you must apply the service pack to your ArcGIS Desktop software and upgrade the geodatabases using ArcCatalog. To obtain the ArcGIS Desktop service pack, go to the ArcEditor service pack download page.

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 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  
    ArcSDEDB292sp5.msp 4 MB
    Informix  
    ArcSDEInformix92sp5.msp 3 MB
    Oracle 9i  
    ArcSDEOracle9i92sp5.msp 4 MB
    Oracle 10gR2  
    ArcSDEOracle10g92sp5.msp 4 MB
    SQL Server  
    ArcSDESqlServer92sp5.msp 3 MB

  3. Double-click the ArcSDE<Database>92sp5.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.

    c:\msiexec.exe /p [location of service pack]\ArcSDE<Database>92sp5.msp

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

  5. (Oracle only) 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

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

    c:\ sdesetup -o upgrade -d <ORACLE9I|ORACLE10G|SQLSERVER|DB2|INFORMIX> –u <DB_Admin_User> –p <DB_Admin_password>

  7. (Oracle only) 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 VIEW
    DROP ANY PROCEDURE
    DROP ANY SEQUENCE
    EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
    SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
    CREATE INDEXTYPE
    CREATE LIBRARY
    CREATE OPERATOR
    CREATE TYPE

  8. As the SDE user, run the following command to restart the ArcSDE service:

    c:\sdemon -o start

  9. Only for users who have Oracle and ArcSDE installed on separate machines.

  10. If you are installing ArcSDE on a different server than Oracle, you must copy the shared libraries used by EXTPROC to the Oracle server. These libraries include st_shapelib plus the Geometry library and the Projection Engine library. (The names of these files vary depending on what operating system (OS) you are using.) Be sure the files copied to the Oracle server are designed to run on the operating system of the Oracle server. For example, if ArcSDE is installed on a Windows machine, but Oracle is installed on a Solaris machine, the library files you copy to the Oracle server must be for Solaris. To get the files for different operating system, you can install the software files of the ArcSDE component on the Oracle server, creating the SDEHOME files, and delete everything but the three required library files.


    Library Name OS-dependent file names
    st_shapelib st_shapelib.dll, libst_shapelib.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)
    Projection Engine pe.dll, libpe.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)
    Geometry sg.dll, libsg.so (.sl for HP, _64.so for IBM64)

    These files can be found in the bin (Windows) or lib (UNIX/Linux) directory of SDEHOME after you've installed the ArcSDE component. You can copy these files to the %ORACLE_HOME%\lib (Windows) or $ORACLE_HOME/lib (UNIX/Linux) directory on the Oracle server, which is the default location that Oracle looks in for shared libraries. Or, you can leave these files where they were installed or move them into any directory that is accessible to the user that owns ORACLE_HOME.

  11. If you have more than one ArcSDE service, perform steps 2 through 9 for each of your ArcSDE services.
