ArcGIS® 9.3 Service Pack 1 geodatabase direct connect for 9.2 clients setup

If you connect to ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 from ArcGIS 9.3 or ArcIMS 9.3, you must install the corresponding Service Pack for your client product. The client updates contained in ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 are also included in ArcIMS 9.3 Service Pack 1 and ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1. This is necessary to maintain version compatibility between the client and server applications.If you connect to ArcSDE 9.3 from ArcGIS 9.2 SP5 or SP6 or ArcIMS 9.2 SP5 or SP6, you must install new ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 libraries in the client application.

Installing files to make direct connections from a 9.2 Service Pack 5 or higher client to an ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 geodatabase

Files can be installed to allow the following ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 5 or higher release service pack clients to connect to an ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 geodatabase:

  • ArcGIS Desktop
  • ArcGIS Engine Runtime
  • ArcReader™
  • ArcGIS Server (including the ArcSDE component)
  • ArcIMS
  • Custom ArcSDE C or Java clients

Note: Direct connections from 9.2 Service Pack 5 or higher clients to the following ArcSDE geodatabases are not supported:

  • ArcSDE 9.3 for Oracle® 11g
  • ArcSDE 9.3 for Informix®
  • ArcSDE 9.3 for PostgreSQL
  • ArcSDE 9.3 for IBM® DB2® z/OS

How to install direct connect files

  1. Download the ArcGIS 9.3 Service Pack 1 GDB Direct Connect for 9.2 Clients file from the ESRI support site.
  2. Run the setup on the computer where the client is installed.
  3. Depending on the operating system of the client machine, use either the setup.exe file (Windows) or the setup script (UNIX/Linux).

Windows

  1. Download the .zip file and extract it to a local disk:

    Windows sde92-93sp1directconnect.zip
    63 MB

    Note:You must have Windows administrator priviledges to install this software.
  2. After extracting the zip file, run the setup.exe. Click Next to move on from the Welcome dialog box.
  3. Read and accept the license agreement. If you do not accept the license agreement, the installation will terminate. Click Next.
  4. The setup will search the computer for all possible client and ArcSDE component installations to determine where to install the files. Once it determines which applications are present, it returns a list of possible direct connect driver installations.
  5. Choose the client or clients from which you want to be able to directly connect to an ArcSDE 9.3 Service Pack 1 geodatabase. If you want to install the files for all the clients on that machine, leave all of them selected.

    To install the files for only certain clients, click the clients for which you do not want to install the direct connect files and choose the Entire feature will be unavailable.

    Note: If you have ArcSDE for SQL Server installed, choosing SQL Server on the Select Features dialog box only applies to ArcSDE for SQL Server licensed through ArcGIS Server Enterprise and does not apply to ArcSDE for SQL Server Express. That is because the files for ArcSDE for SQL Server Express are included in your client installations. Direct connect drivers for that get installed when you choose to install the drivers for your client installation.
  6. Click Next to progress to the next dialog box, then click Next again to start the installation.
  7. When the files are successfully installed, click Finish on the final dialog box of the installation wizard.

 

UNIX

  1. Download the .gz file and extract it to a local disk:

    UNIX / Linux sde92-93sp1directconnect.tar.gz
    284 MB

  2. Run the setup script on the client machine. Be sure to run this as a user who has write permissions to the client installation directories.
    % ./Setup
    This will launch an InstallAnywhere® setup. The setup will search the computer for all possible client installations. Once it determines which applications are present, a list of possible direct connect driver installations is returned.
  3. Choose the geodatabase release to which you want the client applications to be able to make a direct connection.

    The list of direct connection files available can include the following:

    • ArcGIS
      CAPISDK
      DB2
      JavaSDK
      Oracle
  4. After making your selections, click Next to begin the installation.
