Alternatively, a python script must be used.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>ArcGIS Desktop is not available for Linux.&nbsp; I don't want to get into installing ArcGIS Server on this machine just to upgrade.&nbsp; I am now starting to look at Python scripting.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is anyone else encountering this situation, or found a way around this?&nbsp; If indeed I need to now install and manage another product on my application server, why is ESRI moving in this direction? Is this another license?&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Not that SDE was simple to install before, it now looks like it in hindsight given this new direction!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:10:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/sde-10-sp1-upgrade-from-sde-9-3-1-on-linux/m-p/243671#M13823 SherrieKubis 2011-01-18T17:10:07Z Re: SDE 10 SP1 upgrade from SDE 9.3.1 on Linux https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/sde-10-sp1-upgrade-from-sde-9-3-1-on-linux/m-p/243672#M13824 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Original User: sherriekubis</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I now see that I misunderstood the python scripting alternative.&nbsp; The python script method requires arcpy, meaning ArcGIS Server must be installed, and a license is needed.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does this now mean that to upgrade SDE I need an additional license for ArcGIS Server?
