ArcGIS Server .NET Help - Scripting an ArcSDE geodatabase upgrade in DB2

You can modify and use one of the Python scripts provided in this topic to connect to and upgrade an ArcSDE geodatabase.

The first scripts use an existing ArcSDE connection file to connect to and upgrade a geodatabase.

The second script shows how you can provide connection information in the same script used to upgrade the geodatabase. This is especially useful if you do not have access to ArcGIS Desktop; you can run the Python script from a computer where ArcGIS Engine with the Geodatabase Update extension or ArcGIS Server Enterprise (Standard or Advanced) is installed, provide connection information, and upgrade the geodatabase.

The connection you make to the geodatabase, whether as an existing ArcSDE connection file or through parameters in the script, is a direct connection. You must have the following on the machine from which you will run the script:

An IBM DB2 client, configured to connect to the database
If you will be ugrading from a 32-bit ArcGIS client, you must use a 32-bit DB2 client.
An ArcGIS client, either ArcGIS Desktop (ArcEditor or ArcInfo), ArcGIS Engine Runtime with the Geodatabase Update extension, or ArcGIS Server Enterprise (Standard or Advanced)
Be sure to authorize the ArcGIS client before you run the script.
A local user named sde

Be sure you have read and performed the steps in Preparing to upgrade a geodatabase in DB2 before you upgrade.

Steps:

Copy one of these example scripts to the Python window in ArcGIS Desktop, or any Python IDE such as PythonWin or WING. Alter any variable values to match the information at your site.

If you have an existing ArcSDE connection file that uses a direct connection and connects as the ArcSDE administrator, copy and modify one of the following scripts, depending on your operating system:

# Name: upgradesdegdb_example.py
# Description: Connect from a Windows computer 
# with an existing ArcSDE connection file 
# and upgrade an ArcSDE for DB2 geodatabase
# Author: Esri

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
 
# Local variables:
Output_Workspace = "C:\\ArcGIS\connection_files\<Connection file>"
Default_gdb = "C:\\ArcGIS\connection_files\<Connection file>"

# Process: Upgrade Geodatabase
arcpy.UpgradeGDB_management(<Connection file>, "PREREQUISITE_CHECK", "UPGRADE")

# Name: upgradesdegdb_example.py
# Description: Connect from a Linux or UNIX computer 
# with an existing ArcSDE connection file 
# and upgrade an ArcSDE for DB2 geodatabase
# Author: Esri

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
 
# Local variables:
Output_Workspace = "<user>/connections/<Connection_file>"
Default_gdb = "<user>/connections/<Connection_file>"

# Process: Upgrade Geodatabase
arcpy.UpgradeGDB_management(<Connection_file>, "PREREQUISITE_CHECK", "UPGRADE")

If you do not have an ArcSDE connection file on the computer from which you are scripting the upgrade, you can copy and modify the following script:

"""
Name: upgrade_gdb.py
Description: Provide connection information to an Enterprise geodatabase 
and upgrade the geodatabase
Type upgrade_gdb.py -h or upgrade_gdb.py --help for usage

Run the script you copied and altered to perform the prerequisite check and upgrade the geodatabase.
