Could not start ArcSDE -- Check Network, $SDEHOME disk, DBMS settings

VadivelanPalanichamy — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:20:16 GMT

Hi,

I am new to ArcSDE.   We have ArcSDE 9.3 (windows 2003) running in dev/qa/prod pointing to oracle 10g spatial.

I am trying to install sde in my local machine (windows xp).   I have got the following steps from the person who installed in the dev/qa/prod machines.

1) sdesetup -o upgrade -d ORACLE10G -u sde -p sde -i esri_sde

2) sdeservice -o create -d ORACLE -n -p sde -i esri_sde -u domain\username -P pwdWord

3) Now go to : C:\ArcSDE\ora10gexe\etc
   Open DBInit.sde.
   Replace the existing text with :
   set LOCAL=xy_darc

4) Now start the sde service:

   sdemon -o start
   password : sde

After step 4) I am getting Could not start ArcSDE -- Check Network, $SDEHOME disk, DBMS settings and dbinit.sde.

Any help/ideas on this.

I installed in Windows 2003.. no issue in starting the service.. It seems it is OS problem.
I have seen in the ArcSDE supported OS.. windows xp is not listed.

I'm running 9.2sp6, 9.3.1sp2, and 10.0sp1 on an XP host without difficulty.
Perhaps you're not using SP3 with all the roll-up patches?

Hi vadivelan,

You might want to check the $SDEHOME\etc\sde_<sdeservicename>.log and giomgr_<sdeservicename>.log.

Those should have some more information that might help.
