Introduction

ESRI® announces the ArcSDE 9.1 Compress with Concurrent Editors patch. This patch fixes two issues associated with compressing a geodatabase while users are in the process of making versioned edits to data in the geodatabase. The specific issues addressed in this patch are listed in the next section. ESRI recommends you apply this patch if you compress your geodatabase while any users are concurrently performing edits.

Please see technical articles 36194 and 35287 for more detailed information.

Issues Fixed with this Patch

NIM041843 - Compressing a geodatabase while users are connected and editing can encounter the error "Target state not found in the STATES table (-172)". (Please see technical article 35287 for more details.)
NIM042238 - Executing a compress operation while sessions are connected and editing can result in data inconsistencies if the compress operation attempts to delete a state of the database with descendant states. (Please see technical article 36194 for more details.)
NIM043540 - ArcSDE for Oracle: Optimize delete statements used by trim and deleting states when removing rows from a versioned table's deletes table.
NIM043097 - Compressing a geodatabase can lead to blocking conditions in ArcGIS which impact editor user response time. Please see technical article 36371 for more details.)
NIM043170 - The compress analysis process results in extremely slow performance due to full table scans and full index scans being generated on the D table.

Installing the Patch

The ArcSDE 9.1 General Update Patch 3 must be installed before you can install this patch. It is strongly recommended that you back up your database including all previous ArcSDE system tables and user layer data before upgrading your ArcSDE installation. Install this Patch using an administrator account.

REQUIRED INSTALLATION STEP: If you connect to ArcSDE 9.1 via an Application Server and Direct Connect connections using ArcGIS 9.1, ArcIMS 9.1, or ArcInfo Workstation 9.1 make sure you also see ESRI products connecting to ArcSDE (application server and direct connections).

Server installation for UNIX

During installation, you can either save the original 9.1 files or overwrite them. If you choose to save them, make sure you have enough disk space. The disk space requirements, for each platform, are displayed during the installation process.

The ArcSDE 9.1 General Update Patch 3 must be installed before you can install this patch.

Stop your current ArcSDE service if one is running.

% sdemon -o shutdown

NOTE (AIX only): You must remove any inactive libraries that are loaded into memory before proceeding to the next step. Not doing so will result in an installation error. To remove them, as ROOT user, type:

# /usr/sbin/slibclean

(Optional) To list the libraries loaded into memory, as ROOT user, type:

# /usr/sbin/genkld

For further information on the slibclean and genkld commands please refer to your AIX system administrator documentation.

Extract the specified tar file by typing:

% tar -xvf sde91-compresspatch-<Database>-<Platform>.tar

Start the installation by typing:

% ./applypatch

This will start the dialog for the menu-driven installation procedure. Default selections are noted in parentheses ( ). To quit the installation procedure, type 'q' at any time.

(This step is for Oracle only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)
Before running "sdesetup -o upgrade", you must grant the following additional permissions to the SDE user in Oracle:

ALTER ANY INDEX
ALTER ANY TABLE
ANALYZE ANY
CREATE ANY INDEX
CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
CREATE ANY SEQUENCE
CREATE ANY TRIGGER
CREATE ANY VIEW
CREATE SESSION
DROP ANY INDEX
DROP ANY TABLE
DROP ANY VIEW
DROP ANY PROCEDURE
DROP ANY SEQUENCE
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
SELECT ANY SEQUENCE
SELECT ANY TABLE
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE

To upgrade, run sdesetup. Failure to do so may cause problems in starting the service or with connecting to the geodatabase. Please go to the admin command guide under the %SDEHOME%\documentation folder for more information on using this command:

%sdesetup -o upgrade -d <ORACLE8I|ORACLE9I|ORACLE10G|SQLSERVER|DB2|INFORMIX> –u <DB_Admin_User> –p <DB_Admin_password>

(This step is for Oracle only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)
After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:
Restart your service.

% sdemon -o start

(This step is for Oracle users who have Oracle and ArcSDE installed on separate machines only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)

If you have the ArcSDE component and Oracle installed on separate servers, there are three shared libraries used by EXTPROC that must be copied to the Oracle server. Check the list of files altered by this patch. If any of the following files are on this list, new versions of the file must be copied to the Oracle server. Be sure the files copied to the Oracle server are designed to run on the operating system of the Oracle server. See the ArcSDE for Oracle installation guide for instructions.

If the file is not in the list, new versions of it do not need to be copied to the Oracle server.

Library Name	OS-dependent file names
st_shapelib	st_shapelib.dll (Windows), libst_shapelib.so (Solaris, Linux, and and HP-UX Itanium), libst_shapelib.sl (HP-UX PA-RISC), libst_shapelib_64.so (IBM)
Projection Engine	pe.dll (Windows), libpe.so (Solaris, Linux, and and HP-UX Itanium), libpe.sl (HP-UX PA-RISC), libpe_64.so (IBM)
Geometry	sg.dll (Windows), libsg.so (Solaris, Linux, and and HP-UX Itanium), libsg.sl (HP-UX PA-RISC), libsg_64.so (IBM)

If you have ArcSDE installed on more than one server, perform steps 1 through 8 for each one.
Note:If you have multiple geodatabases on the same server, you only have to install the patch once on the server, but you must perform steps 5 through 8 to upgrade each of the geodatabases and restart their corresponding services if services exist.

As the ArcSDE Administrative user run the sdesetup command. Failure to do so may cause problems in starting the service or with connecting to the geodatabase. Please go to the admin command guide under the %SDEHOME%\documentation folder for more information on using this command:

c:\ sdesetup -o upgrade -d <ORACLE8I|ORACLE9I|ORACLE10G|SQLSERVER|DB2|INFORMIX> –u <DB_Admin_User> –p <DB_Admin_password>

(This step is for Oracle only, all other DBMS skip to the next step)
After the upgrade completes, you may revoke the following permissions from the SDE user account:
As the ArcSDE administrative user, run the following command to restart the ArcSDE service:
