Database Requirements/Limitations

 IBM DB2 V8 for (32-bit and 64-bit) o Required Service Pack(s)/Patch(es): FixPack 15 o Required Add-On(s): IBM Spatial Extender Version 8 FP15

 IBM DB2 V9 for (32-bit and 64-bit) o Required Service Pack(s)/Patch(es): FixPack 4a o Required Add-On(s): IBM Spatial Extender Version 9.1 FP4a

 IBM DB2 V9.5 for (32-bit and 64-bit) o Required Service Pack(s)/Patch(es): FixPack 1 o Required Add-On(s): IBM Spatial Extender Version 9.5 FP1 o ArcSDE 9.3 on IBM DB2 V9.5 for Linux, UNIX and Windows has a limitation that multiversion views will not be supported until a subsequent service pack, coming soon. o IBM DB2 9.5 Enterprise Server Edition is not supported on 32-bit Linux platform.

 IBM DB2 V9 for z/OS o Required Service Pack(s)/Patch(es): APAR Pk51020, PK60624, PK60137 o Required Add-On(s): IBM Spatial Support for DB2 for z/OS - DB2 Accessories Suite o ArcSDE component installation: The ArcSDE component must be installed on a Windows client machine. ArcSDE then makes a direct connection to the DB2 database subsystem on the z/OS. To make this direct connection, DB2 Connect Version 9.1, FixPack 3 or above, which includes the DB2 Control Center application, must be installed on the Windows client.

ArcSDE is tested and certified on DB2 Enterprise Server Edition. Other versions of DB2 such as WSE, WSUE, and PE a common code base and are supported as long as they meet the ArcSDE requirements listed above. For more information on the distributed editions of DB2, refer to the articles listed below.

Operating System Limitations

Linux ArcSDE is only supported on Linux , on CPUs that adhere to the x86 architecture (32-bit), with supported Linux releases.

Windows Vista and XP SP3 Professional Edition Windows Vista and XP Service Pack 3 is supported for basic testing and application development use only. It is not recommended for deployment in a production environment.

Windows 64-bit servers ArcSDE 9.3 is currently a 32-bit application, which can run on Windows 64-bit servers.
