A lot of users often have questions concerning their system configuration for the version of software being used in conjunction with our products. Questions get more specific to involve installing patches, service packs, etc., within an environment and, in relation to ArcSDE Enterprise geodatabases, questions also involve RDBMS patches. Let’s outline some of the key points made in our Supported Environment Policy document that should help you answer these questions when considering patching a test or production database that houses ArcSDE Enterprise geodatabases.
