Migrating to ArcSDE 64 bit on Windows when the existing DBMS is 64 bit
If you are running ArcSDE as a 32-bit application connecting to an existing 64-bit database management system (DBMS) on a 64-bit server, follow the instructions in this topic to migrate to using an ArcSDE 64-bit service.
-
Stop the ArcSDE service, if one is running.
sdemon -o shutdown -i <service> -s <server_name> -p <ArcSDE_administrator_password>
ArcSDE command line tools and their documentation are installed with ArcSDE.
-
Make sure there are no users currently making a direct connection to the geodatabase.
You can use the sdemon command to do this.
sdemon -o users -i <service> -s <server_name> -p <ArcSDE_administrator_password>
- Create a backup of the database.
- If you will be installing the 64-bit version of the ArcSDE component on the same server as you had the 32-bit version, you must uninstall the 32-bit version of ArcSDE.
- Install the 64-bit version of the ArcSDE component on a 64-bit server (either the one on which the DBMS resides or a remote one). Do not proceed with the Post Installation wizard.
-
Update the st_shapelib.dll library definition in the Oracle data dictionary.
CREATE or REPLACE LIBRARY <library_name> AS '<path_to_library>'
- If you installed a new release of ArcGIS and ArcSDE, grant upgrade privileges to the ArcSDE administrator user and upgrade the geodatabase.
-
If your site uses an ArcSDE service to connect to the geodatabase, run a custom postinstallation setup using the Post Installation wizard on the 64-bit server to create and start the 64-bit service.
Note:If you installed the 64-bit ArcSDE component in the same location as the 32-bit ArcSDE component was installed and you want to use the same name and port for the 64-bit service as you had for the 32-bit service, you must first delete the entries for the 32-bit service from the services.sde and Windows services files. If you do not, the wizard will not allow you to create the service with the same name and/or port number as your old, 32-bit service.
