ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Utility Network Patch 4

Published: July 1, 2021

Summary

This patch addresses several functional issues with the utility network in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 along with performance improvements with validation, trace, update subnetworks, as well as general performance enhancements for SQL Server enterprise geodatabases.

Description

Esri® announces the ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Utility Network Patch 4. This patch focuses on quality and performance particularly in the areas of validate and update subnetwork, and is recommended for all utility network customers using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. Users with SQL Server enterprise geodatabases will benefit from the updates that address issues with stored procedures and internal locking. In addition, this patch deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this patch.

Important Note: A geodatabase upgrade is required for the SQL Server improvements. Please refer to the Upgrade a geodatabase section below for guidance.

Upgrade a geodatabase

 

When a hotfix or patch for ArcGIS has been applied, it may also be necessary to upgrade your geodatabase. See the Upgrade the Geodatabase section on the Geodatabase management page for your individual DBMS platform for more information.

Tip: Upgrade your Enterprise geodatabases stored in Microsoft SQL Server to take advantage of critical fixes to branch versioning.

Upgrading from ArcGIS Server requires the use of Python. If you are 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.

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

 

import arcpy
Connection_File_Name_full_path="C:\\temp\\sysadmin_connection.sde"
arcpy.UpgradeGDB_management(Connection_File_Name_full_path, "PREREQUISITE_CHECK", "UPGRADE")

Additional documentation on how to Upgrade an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server is available from this help topic: Upgrade an enterprise geodatabase in SQL Server

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:

"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\scripts\propy.bat" C:\temp\upgrade_gdb.py
Or
"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\ArcGIS\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe" C:\temp\upgrade_gdb.py

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

 

Uninstalling this patch on Windows

 

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.

 

Uninstalling this patch on Linux

 

To remove this patch on versions 10.7 and higher, navigate to the <Product Installation Directory>/.Setup/qfe directory and run the following script as the ArcGIS Install owner:



./removepatch.sh

The removepatch.sh script allows you to uninstall previously installed patches or hot fixes. Use the -s status flag to get the list of installed patches or hot fixes ordered by date. Use the -q flag to remove patches or hot fixes in reverse chronological order by date they were installed. Type removepatch -h for usage help.

Restart your ArcGIS services.
