ArcGIS Enterprise SDK 12.1 Custom Data Feeds Patch

Esri announces the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK 12.1 Custom Data Feeds Patch. This patch resolves several issues with custom data providers and should be applied before developing a new custom data provider. A related patch, ArcGIS Server 12.1 Custom Data Feeds Patch, should also be applied to the ArcGIS Server environment. 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.

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.

Regarding the typical patch finding and notification tools, the PatchFinder utility may be used to detect that the patch has been installed on the machine. The Patch Notification tool does not currently support showing patch notifications for the ArcGIS Enterprise SDK.

• BUG-000187000 - Custom data feature layer creation fails when the optional authorize() method is implemented in the custom data provider code.
• BUG-000186999 - The built-in in-memory provider cache does not work when a custom data provider has multiple layers.
• BUG-000186998 - Full-fetch data loading pattern providers could return the wrong value for count for returnCountOnly requests.
• BUG-000186997 - Features with z-values are not displaying properly when the response format is specified as pbf.
• BUG-000186996 - Requests with the returnCountOnly parameter do not return a count when the response format is specified as pbf.

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 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.
