Hi Russel, You need to install the Oracle 64-bit client on the ArcGIS server machine. If you have more than 1 ArcGIS Server in a cluster, the client needs to be installed on each of the server machines. Register an Oracle database with ArcGIS for Server: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Once the client is installed on the machine, be sure to restart the ArcGIS Server service. After the re-start you should be able to import the same connection file from the Desktop client and register your Oracle database. Let me know if you have any issues. -George Geodatabase​ Managing Data​ ... View more

Hi Johan, Just wanted to let you know that there is a KB article that has come out recently about using command line tools (10.x) against a 10.3 geodatabase is not a supported workflow. 44300 - Can ArcSDE command line tools be used against 10.3 and newer geodatabases? -George ... View more

Register each database seperately. Then re-test. Make sure it is with the 32-bit and 64-bit Data Source Admin.... -George ... View more

Hi Steven, Can you try to create the .sde connections not using the cataloged database connection? HostName=<host>;Port=<port number>;Database=<database name>;  ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Here is some more information on registering the DB2 geodatabase with server: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) I use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to catalog the DB2 databases on the ArcGIS Server machine. -George Geodatabase Managing Data​ ...

Hi Ben, To add to what Tom suggested, be sure to put the 64-bit Oracle client first then the 32-bit location in the PATH system variable. Here is some more documentation on how to set up the client once on the local machine: Set up a database connection—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Professionals -George Geodatabase​ ... View more

Hi Naime, I guess that it might be a fluke that you can connect to your SDE 9.1. But I would not expect it to work properly (i.e. create data, preview data, modify existing data, etc....) As Tech Support suggested, you would need to upgrade your SDE to at least 10.0. Support for 9.1 was ended almost 5 years ago... (June 2010 - http://downloads.esri.com/support/product%20life%20cycle/arcgis_desktop/ArcGIS_PLC.pdf)) Technically support for 9.3 ended in Dec. 2013 (over a year and half ago) I would not expect there to be a "workaround" that would available for that old of a geodatabase. Hope this helps...... -George ... View more

Hi Manishkumar, You could use an ArcGIS 10.0 SP5 Desktop client to make a connection to your 9.2 geodatabase, then upgrade to 10.0 SP5 (recommended) and then use a 10.2.x client to see the data in the upgraded geodatabase. Direct-connect compatibility between clients and ArcSDE geodatabases in Oracle If the underlying DBMS is Oracle 10g, an Oracle 10g client must be used for the connection. Geodatabase connections in ArcGIS Desktop (For Oracle) Hope this helps clarify how to get it up to geodatabase that a 10.2.x client can use. -George ... View more

I would recommend that you open a support case and have them research to see if it may be supported in the future. It may take some time to have the research completed and reach out to the proper contacts. At this point it looks like FP5 may not be supported, based on the issue with FP4. Thanks! George ...

Hi Jeff, I would say that the safest bet is to use the same level that is certified for 10.3, which is DB2 v10.5 FP2. In the notes for the DB2 FP section there is a reference to an issue in which FP4 is not supported DB2 10.5 Fix Pack 4 is not supported due to IT05709: SQL0901N "ISCAN PLAN NOT FOUND" RETURNED FOR DB2 SPATIAL EXTENDER QUERY If you go past the certified (or listed) requirements it falls under the Supported Environment Policy But as stated above there is an issue with FP4, so I would guess that those fixes are included in FP5 also which could make it a no-go. Hopefully this helps. -George ... View more

Hi Jim, We are supporting the SDE Command Line tools at 10.2.x. Starting at 10.3, the command line tools were not released. You can use the 10.2.2 command line tools and run the SDEGDBREPAIR, if needed, against your 10.2.2 geodatabase. The SDEGDBREPAIR tools have been ported to a Geoprocessing Tool in ArcToolbox --> Data Management --> Geodatabase Administration toolbox. Here is some more information on the ArcGIS 10.3 GP tools: Diagnose Version Metadata Diagnose Version Tables Repair Version Metadata Repair Version Tables Hope this help.... -George ... View more

Did you enable the geodatabase functionality on the SQL Server Express instance? (I am assuming that this is a geodatabase). The native client is a separate install that can be downloaded form the MyEsri site. I would think that it was installed if the SQL Express and ArcGIS Desktop client are on the same machine. You may want to open an Esri Technical Support​ case if you need more help. -George Geodatabase​ ... View more
