ArcGIS Server Parcel Fabric Build Extent Patch 2

Esri announces the ArcGIS Server Parcel Fabric Build Extent Patch 2. This patch resolves an issue where using the Parcel Fabric Build Extent command may take a very long time to complete and create a wrong geometry. When using the build extent command to process parcel seeds and lines, the algorithm searches for closed loops of lines that belong to the same parcel record. If no lines are found, the search will expand and may result in false geometry. With this fix, the search is constrained to the map extent. Esri recommends that all customers utilizing parcel fabrics with ArcGIS Server 11.5, 11.3, and 11.1 apply this patch. 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-000182524 - When using the parcel fabric and the Build Extent command, only use the lines in the visible map extent. 

To avoid conflicts the 11.1 version also addresses:

• BUG-000179362 - Extremely long processing times, possible hanging for the Build Extent command on large parcel fabric datasets.

To avoid conflicts the 11.3 version also addresses:

• BUG-000179884 - There is a security vulnerability in ArcGIS Server Feature Services.
• BUG-000179362 - Extremely long processing times, possible hanging for the Build Extent command on large parcel fabric datasets.

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-<Version>-S-PFBE-Patch2.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.
