Issues addressed with this patch

  • BUG-000171577 - The Export Features and Export Table geoprocessing tools may fail with an internal error.
  • BUG-000171576 - The Merge tool does not honor field map edits in Python scripts when inputs are feature layers.
  • BUG-000171575 - Geoprocessing tools using Z:\ drive paths are not properly resolved.

Installing this patch on Windows

On Windows, the release date order of the patches does not matter when installing multiple patches. If an older patch is installed after a newer patch, the newer patch takes precedence and the fixes from the newer patch will remain. The ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification tool, when the option to install all available patches is activated, installs multiple patches in order of release date starting with oldest to newest.

The ArcGIS product listed in the table must be installed on your system before you can install a patch. Each patch setup is specific to the ArcGIS product in the list. To determine which products are installed on your system, please see the How to identify which ArcGIS products are installed section. Esri recommends that you install the patch for each product that is on your system.
 

Step 1: Download the appropriate file to a location other than your ArcGIS installation location.

Step 2: Make sure you have write access to your ArcGIS installation location.

Step 3: Double-click ArcGIS-114-S-SA-Patch.msp to start the setup process.

NOTE: If double clicking on the MSP file does not start the setup installation, you can start the setup installation manually by using the following command:

msiexec.exe /p [location of Patch]\ArcGIS-114-S-SA-Patch.msp

 

Installing this patch on Linux

On Linux, the release date order of the patches matters when installing multiple patches. If an older patch is installed after a newer patch, the older patch will replace the newer patch and the fixes in the newer patch will be removed. The ArcGIS Enterprise Patch Notification tool, when the option to install all available patches is activated, installs multiple patches in order of release date starting with oldest to newest.

Complete the following install steps as the ArcGIS Install owner. The Install owner is the owner of the arcgis folder. This patch should be installed on all ArcGIS Server installations related to the ArcGIS Server site.

The ArcGIS product listed in the table must be installed on your system before you can install a patch. Each patch setup is specific to the ArcGIS product in the list. To determine which products are installed on your system, please see the How to identify which ArcGIS products are installed section. Esri recommends that you install the patch for each product that is on your system.
