Order of ArcGIS product installation?

JerryGarcia

What order is recommended for upgrading? Desktop, Server, ArcSDE?

Do you need to upgrade all at once? Can you just do Desktop? Can you just do Desktop and ArcSDE?

What are the pros/cons?

Thanks!

BubbaHey

I don't know much about SDE, but I think the standard order is Desktop, Server, then SDE. And I believe you can just use Desktop aand SDE.

Yes that is the correct order.

Regarding your Desktop-SDE combo, are you using ArcSDE 'personal' edition?

JerryGarcia

We are using Enterprise Standard ArcGIS Server/ArcSDE.

What are the disadvantages of not upgrading ArcGIS Server while upgrading Desktop/ArcSDE?

Is there any online documentation regarding this?

JerryGarcia

Can we upgrade ArcSDE and all Desktop clients from 10.0 to 10.1 without ever upgrading ArcGIS Server? Pros/Cons?

BubbaHey

Hey Jerry, we miss your guitar playing. LOL. sorry, couldn't resist...of course, the youngsters out there are going "Huh?"

Hey Jerry, I dont have a list for you, but here's some food for thought:
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/31636/is-arcgis-10-1-desktop-compatible-with-10-0-server
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002q000000n9000000
http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/61331-Can-ArcGIS-Desktop-10.1-users-publish-maps-using-ArcGIS-server-10
That last one may be the deal breaker if the ESRI person is correct:

To publish a service from ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1, you will need to either publish to ArcGIS for Server 10.1 or ArcGIS Online.

But there may be a workaround by saving to a 10.0 MXD (not sure about that though)

Without knowing all the details of your deployment like what RDBMS & OS you are using, there are 2 compatibility dynamics to address. Desktop to GIS server & GIS server to RDBMS (your question regarding if you can upgrade SDE but not server...).

Enterprise geodatabases are supported in 64-bit database management systems

As mentioned in What's new in ArcGIS 10.1 for Server, ArcGIS for Server is now a 64-bit applicatiion. ArcSDE and enterprise geodatabases are part of ArcGIS for Server and, at 10.1, support only 64-bit databases. See the topics in the Relational Database Management Systems section of the ArcGIS 10.1 System Requirements for supported databases and operating systems.

So that said I'm not convinced you can update SDE but not Server...at 10.1 the two are built into 'ArcGIS for Server'.

JerryGarcia

After doing some testing, the GDB will need to be upgraded after ArcGIS Server. We could not connect from ArcGIS Server 10.0 to an ArcSDE 10.1 instance.
