You may have already noticed some of the changes at 10.0 with the upgrade process for ArcSDE geodatabase no longer using the Post Installation wizard. This was discussed in an earlier blog written on "The Evolution of the ArcSDE Geodatabase Upgrade Process at 10.0". The ArcSDE Post Installation Wizard has made its grand exit and is no longer installed as part of ArcSDE at 10.1. Let’s take a look at the Post Installation steps and compare with the new geoprocessing tools that were created at 10.1 to perform similar tasks.

Post Installation Wizard Steps (Pre 10.1)

Application Server Services


With the Post Installation Wizard no longer part of the ArcSDE install at 10.1, this also means that there is no wizard to create ArcSDE services. The ArcSDE install includes the application server along with command line tools.  If there is a need for an application server service at the 10.1 release, one can be manually created and registered (depending on DBMS) using the ArcSDE administration commands.
