Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Vector Tile Style Editor Translation Patch

Summary

Esri announces the Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Vector Tile Style Editor Translation Patch. When using the vector tile style editing capabilities of Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 with the home application configured to display in a non-English language, the Save As dialog includes unexpected characters. This patch updates the unexpected characters to display the correct translation. This patch also includes a fix for displaying KML layers in the Map Viewer that is unrelated to Vector Tile Style Editor. This patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

As a best practice, clear the browser cache and re-launch the browser after installing the 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. This may be taking a snapshot of machines and related file servers or using the WebGIS DR tool as a software backup. See Back up and restore best practices for more information. For those utilizing a highly available environment, refer to the help topic on how to apply patches in a highly available environment for guidance.

Issues addressed with this patch

  • BUG-000167432 - Vector Tile Style Editor displays unexpected characters in the 'Save As' dialog when the home application is configured to display in a non-English language.
  • BUG-000162544 - Unable to open the KML layer added to Portal for ArcGIS from a file in Map Viewer.

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-111-PFA-VTSET-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-111-PFA-VTSET-Patch.msp

 

Step 4: As a best practice, clear the browser cache and re-launch the browser after installing the patch.

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.
