ArcGIS Server 11.4 Spatial Analysis Patch

Esri announces the ArcGIS Server 11.4 Spatial Analysis Patch. This patch resolves a defect with the Merge tool when inputs are feature layers, another defect when specifying Z:\ drive paths for Geoprocessing tools, and an internal code fix for Export Features/Table Geoprocessing tools. This patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

This patch can be uninstalled as outlined in the Uninstalling this patch on Windows and Uninstalling this patch on Linux sections below.

Additionally, Esri recommends developing a rollback plan before installing patches. For those utilizing a highly available environment, refer to the help topic on how to apply patches in a highly available environment for guidance.

• 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.

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.
