Background – Why Upgrade Upgrade Components Databases Product Software Customizations Business Benefits Introductions Brian Reeder – CoServ Electric GIS Analyst Worked with CoServ for 5 Years V10 Upgrade Project Manager Been Through 2 Past Upgrades Software: ArcGIS Desktop ArcFM Desktop ArcSDE – Oracle Designer ArcGIS Engine Geodatabase Manager ArcGIS Server ArcFM Replication ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine ArcFM Redliner / Inspector Responder Introductions Brian Reeder – CoServ Electric GIS Analyst V10 Upgrade Project Manager Been Through 2 Past Upgrades Skye Perry – SSP Innovations Principal Consultant Esri & Telvent Technical Architect Lead the SSP team to implement the upgrade at CoServ SSP Innovations is a Premier Telvent Implementation Partner An Informal Poll How many are running version 9.x? How many plan to upgrade to version 10 this year? How many have already upgraded to version 10? Why Upgrade? Esri and Telvent Support Once 10.1 is released, 9.3.X Moves to “Mature Support” After 12 months of Mature Support Moves to “Retired Support” Recommendation is to get to 10 Sooner than Later Re-architecture of Esri at v10 Better Performance New User Interface Many Usability Enhancements New Functionality Telvent New Functionality Initial 10 Releases – Compliance with Esri 10.0.2 and 10.0.3 – Introduced New Functionality CoServ Annual Upgrade Plan Upgrades Targeted Each Fall Enterprise GIS technology standards kept as current as possible. Keeps your enterprise GIS upgrade projects manageable and less complex. Resource management easier because it’s in the plan annually. Annual thorough evaluation of your enterprise GIS needs. Upgrade – Esri Database Esri Geodatabase Upgrade The “OLD” Way: SDE Command Line sde setup –o upgrade The “NEW” Way: Esri Geoprocessing Task Install v10 ArcSDE Software Connect to your 9.3.x GDB via a Direct Connection Right click the GDB Connection Properties Prerequisite Validations Invalid Domains GDB-registered Tables That Don’t Exist Esri Replicas That Don’t Exist Upgrades the Schema In Place Esri v10 SDE Schema At 9.3 (and previous) At 10 Complete Overhaul of GDB Tables Esri v10 SDE Schema (cont) Where did all that data go? GDB_ITEMTYPES Type of object – Feature Class, Relationship Class, Table, Domain GDB_ITEMS.Definition contains XML Has all the details from previous tables Join Ex: XML Esri v10 SDE Schema – SQL Server SQL Server has Native Support for the XML Data Type Allows User to View Easily And Query Easily via XPath Definition.exist('/DEFeatureClassInfo/Subtypes') Definition.query('/DEFeatureClassInfo/AliasName/text()') Esri v10 SDE Schema - Oracle Oracle GDB_ITEMS.Definition Column is Numeric References Separate Tables where XML is stored as a CLOB (binary) Use the view GDB_ITEMS_VW to get the XML No Advanced/Native Support Must Parse the XML Text Externally (in code, Xpath, etc) Querying this view requires Oracle access to the SDE Binaries Allows Oracle SDE Queries to Utilize Compiled DLLs Upgrade - Telvent Databases Telvent Geodatabase Upgrade Right click GDB PX (Session / Workflow Mgr) ArcFM Tables PX Database Upgrade Tool Right click GDB Upgrade Upgrade – Telvent Databases (cont) Responder Telvent provides upgrade SQL scripts for Oracle and SQL Server Run in Oracle SQL Developer, TOAD, etc Run in SQL Server Management Studio Run each set of database upgrade scripts for your version 9.3.1 SP1 to 10.0.1 SP1 10.0.1 SP1 to 10.0.2 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 Etc Our Recommendation Develop your own custom SQL scripts based on the provided scripts Upgrade – Product Software ArcGIS Desktop 10 REMEMBER – must install VBA (separate – free – license from Esri) Otherwise Mostly Straightforward Upgrade – Product Software Most Esri & Telvent Software is 32-Bit Exceptions – ArcSDE, ArcGIS Server, few others Many Utilities Moving to Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) Allow Time for Ensuring 32-Bit Apps Run Successfully Tips & Time Savers: Microsoft IIS 7: Enable 32-Bit Apps on 64-Bit Server Set Web Application to Run in a 32-Bit Application Pool (Responder/Replication) Ensure Correct Versions of MS .Net Framework Registered with IIS for ASP.Net Use the Oracle 32 Bit Client Works for Desktop and Batch Apps ASP.Net to Oracle Install Oracle ODP.Net (part of Oracle ODAC) Ensure Matching Version Upgrade – Product Software Got Most Products Up and Running w/out Problems Configuration File Upgrade Options Use Telvent Upgrade bat Scripts to Update Your Config Files Reconfigure Using Latest Product Config Files Use a Compare Tool to check differences in product vs. legacy config files Applies to: Responder ArcFM Replication Geodatabase Manager General Recommendation – Compare & Reconfig Upgrade – Product Software Telvent 10.0.3 – New CU Administration Tools Overhaul of the way CU’s are Managed No Longer Using the Binary XML Storage Replaced with Flat Tables: No Longer Use Favorites An AWESOME Change…. But… This may add a significant item to your upgrade plan Upgrade – Product Software Telvent 10.0.3 – New CU Administration Tools If you Manage CU’s within Designer: Create the New Tables Migrate Your Existing Binary Data to Flat Tables Pretty Easy… If you have an integration to a WMS or other CU Management Tool Code Will Need to Be Updated to Load CU Data to the New MM_CU_* Tables API or SQL Updates (Non-Versioned Tables) **If Your Code Handles the CU Library Folder Structure Continue to Load the Old Binary XML in Addition to The New Tables Upgrade - Customizations Got Visual Basic 6? It’s time to say farewell… Get this out of the way at 10 Stop Procrastinating! No support in 10.1 v10 Still Based on Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 Can Use Visual Studio 2008 or Upgrade Code to 2010 ArcFM SDK Limitation to VS.Net 2008 Install 2008 & 2010, Install ArcFM SDK, Upgrade to 2010 Upgrade – Customizations (cont) At v10 Esri is Moving Away from COM Registration COM requires registry access for installation Requires user to be a Local Administrator dll mishaps in the registry Esri Now Uses XML Files to Register Customizations w/ArcGIS Fairly Well Documented Telvent Registration Is Not All The Way There… yet Leave your COM registration in place at v10 Dlls registered for COM Use Each Class Has Unique GUID and PROGID Telvent Provides a Handy New Version of RegX Handles Both Telvent & Esri Registration Upgrade – Telvent Customizations For Each Co-Class That Implements an Esri/Telvent Interface Add New Class Attributes Identifying Required Registration, Exs: Attributes Not Supported on Base (Abstract) Classes Compile dll (which includes COM registration) Run Telvent’s RegX.exe Available in ArcFM “bin” Folder Example Usage: Upgrade – Telvent Customizations RegX Takes Care of: Esri ArcGIS Registration (Commands, Tools, Menus, Extensions) Telvent Registration (AUs, Subtasks, Validation Rules) Build RegX into Your Custom Installer as a Custom Action Reminder – Leave Existing COM Registration Custom Action In Place Telvent Customization Upgrade Workflow (courtesy Bill Bott): http://resources.arcfmsolution.com/Customizations/CustomizationFlow.pdf The RegX process handles the ecfg files mentioned in the workflow, you do not need to copy the ecfg files if RegX is used in your installer Upgrade – Esri Batch Processes For All Batch Apps Exe’s Outside of ArcGIS Windows Services Web Interfaces At 9.X - Explicitly Check Out Esri/Telvent Licenses At 10 -Tell Esri the Product Code BEFORE Checking out Licenses Add This Line of Code Before You Check Out the License: Options: ArcGIS, Desktop, Engine, ArcReader, Explorer, Server, EngineOrDesktop Recommendation: Add This to Your License Management Code Technical Wrap Bigger upgrade than the 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 sub-release upgrades Plan a Formal Upgrade Project Plan for Significant Testing Use These Tips for Guidance More Information Available in SSP’s Monthly e-zine: http://www.sspinnovations.com/upgrading-to-10-esri-telvent-story.aspx May Be Beneficial to Work with Telvent or a certified Telvent Partner Bring in Specialized Skills and Experience Will Ensure Your Upgrade Goes Smoothly Business Benefits - CoServ GIS enterprise technology platform readiness for future enhancements and products.
