Arc Server 10

[JamesArmstrong]

I am working with the flexviewer for ArcGIS server on version 9.3.1.  There seems to be a lot of advantages in moving to ArcServer 10.  Can this move be done without upsetting the SDE at 9.3.1, or will such an upgrade to the ASrcServer also update the SDE to 10.

I am asking because my editors are not yet ready to move into production with ArcGIS 10,  they need to stay in 9.3.1 for a bit longer and this earlier version does not read version 10 SDE , or does it?

thanks
James

Hi James,

I'm unsure about the 9.3.1 being able to access a 10 SDE, however we've upgraded to version 10 for our ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Desktop installations while continuing to maintain a 9.3.1 ArcSDE instance (as like you, we have staff/students still using 9.3.1 in some locations).

The installation did not force an upgrade to SDE 10.

Hope this helps.

I believe you only need to upgrade Server and SDE together to the same rev if they live on the same machine.  I am running SDE 9.3.1 on its own machine and Server 10 on a separate machine.  That compatibility is certain, but obviously I can't make use of any new features of SDE 10.  Now, if you were to have SDE at 10 and then Server or Desktop at a lower rev like 9.3.1, regardless of being on different machines, that may cause some problems.
