ArcGIS Server 11.5 Branch Versioning SAP HANA General Patch

Esri announces the ArcGIS Server 11.5 Branch Versioning SAP HANA General Patch. This patch addresses numerous branch versioning and transaction related issues specific to SAP HANA geodatabase. 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.

• BUG-000183598 - Upgrading from Utility Network Version 6 to Utility Network Version 7 fails on SAP HANA.
• BUG-000182391 - createReplica REST operation fails against SAP HANA Cloud referenced feature services: "Unable to complete operation. Error in performing CreateReplica operation.”
• BUG-000177433 - Unexpected layer extent updates due to improper initialization of M value when updating layer's metadata.
• BUG-000177314 - Update stored procedures for geodatabase metadata updates in the default transaction to use autonomous transactions.
• BUG-000176315 - GetEstimates request on feature service is causing significant performance issues when opening an ArcGIS Pro Map containing referenced feature services.

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.

ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5
ArcGIS Server	ArcGIS-115-S-BVSHG-Patch.msp
Checksum      (SHA256)	AA2B76672814AE9ED42A25162B68CCECFC4C77E3F11151A427D26480768335B5

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

Step 3: Double-click ArcGIS-115-S-BVSHG-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:

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.

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, and that no one is using ArcGIS.

Step 3: Extract the specified tar file by typing:

When installing this patch, it is necessary to upgrade your geodatabase to achieve full value from the fixes included. 

Upgrading from ArcGIS Server requires the use of Python. When working with ArcGIS Server on Windows or Linux, you can access the appropriate Python 3 environment by using the python.exe which is included with the framework/runtime components of ArcGIS Server. Additionally, on Windows a script batch file is available to launch the Python 3 environment.

Executing the steps below will not cause any harm if your geodatabase is already at the required level, so the recommended approach is to follow the steps as outlined. If your database is already at the required level, you will get a message indicating so.

To perform the upgrade, create a script using this example Python syntax, and name the script upgrade_gdb.py.

 

On Windows, run the upgrade script explicitly using the Python 3 environment. If ArcGIS Server is installed to the default location, the script can be executed with either of the following commands:

Or

 

On Linux, launch the Python 3 environment using the following commands:

source /<arcgis_server_installation_directory>/arcgis/server/framework/etc/arcenv
unset LD_PRELOAD
unset CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV

And then execute the upgrade script with the following command:

wine "Z:\<arcgis_server_installation_directory>\arcgis\server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" <path_To>\upgrade_gdb.py

To uninstall this patch on Windows, open the Windows Control Panel and navigate to installed programs. Make sure that "View installed updates" (upper left side of the Programs and Features dialog) is active. Select the patch name from the programs list and click Uninstall to remove the patch.

Navigate to the <Product Installation Directory>/.Setup/qfe directory and run the following script as the ArcGIS Install owner:

Restart your ArcGIS services.

To determine which ArcGIS products are installed, choose the appropriate version of the PatchFinder utility for your environment and run it from your local machine. PatchFinder will list all products, hot fixes, and patches installed on your local machine.
