Upgrade a geodatabase in Db2 on z/OS

Use the Upgrade Geodatabase tool

You can open the Upgrade Geodatabase from the Database Properties dialog box in ArcMap by clicking the Upgrade Geodatabase button on the General tab, or open the tool directly. If you open the tool from Database Properties, the Input geodatabase text box is prepopulated with the geodatabase connection information.

Esri recommends that you leave both the Pre-requisites check and Upgrade geodatabase options checked. That way, the tool checks to see if the prerequisites to upgrade have been met before continuing with the geodatabase upgrade.

The prerequisite check detects other active connections to the geodatabase, determines whether the connecting user has sufficient privileges to upgrade the geodatabase, makes sure all datasets can be opened, and ascertains that the database and libraries are at the same release. If any prerequisites are not met, the tool terminates. You must correct any problems before you run the upgrade procedure again.

The results of this check are reported on the geoprocessing tool dialog box. If the check (or upgrade) fails, results are also written to the GDBUpgrade.log, which can be found in c:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\ESRI\<ArcGIS product>.

If all checks are passed, the tool proceeds with the upgrade. The status for the prerequisites check and the upgrade are shown on the geoprocessing tool progress dialog box. If the upgrade fails, information is written to the GDBUpgrade.log. Additional information is written to the sde_setup.log, which can be found in the system TEMP directory.

Run a script

To upgrade the geodatabase, copy one of these example scripts into a text editor. Alter any variable values to match the information at your site.

• If you have an existing database connection file that connects as the sde user, copy the script that applies to the client operating system, paste it into a text editor, alter it to use information specific to your site, save and close the file, then run it:

  # Name: upgradesdegdb_example.py
  # Description: Connect from a Windows computer 
  # with an existing database connection file 
  # and upgrade an enterprise geodatabase
  
  # Import arcpy module
  import arcpy
   
  # Local variables:
  Output_Workspace = "C:\\ArcGIS\connection_files\<Connection file>"
  Default_gdb = "C:\\ArcGIS\connection_files\<Connection file>"
  
  # Process: Upgrade Geodatabase
  arcpy.UpgradeGDB_management(Default_gdb, "PREREQUISITE_CHECK", "UPGRADE")
  

  # Name: upgradesdegdb_example.py
  # Description: Connect from a Linux or UNIX computer 
  # with an existing database connection file 
  # and upgrade an enterprise geodatabase
  
  # Import arcpy module
  import arcpy
   
  # Local variables:
  Output_Workspace = "<user>/connections/<Connection_file>"
  Default_gdb = "<user>/connections/<Connection_file>"
  
  # Process: Upgrade Geodatabase
  arcpy.UpgradeGDB_management(Default_gdb, "PREREQUISITE_CHECK", "UPGRADE")
  

• If you do not have a database connection file on the computer from which you are scripting the upgrade, you can copy the following script and provide your site-specific information at the command line:

  """
  Name: upgrade_gdb.py
  Description: Provide connection information to an Enterprise geodatabase 
  and upgrade the geodatabase
  Type upgrade_gdb.py -h or upgrade_gdb.py --help for usage

  For example, if you saved the text file as gdbupgrade and your cataloged database is mydbgdb, type the following at a command prompt:

  gdbupgrade --DBMS DB2ZOS -i mydbgdb --auth DATABASE_AUTH -u sde -p mysdepassword --upgrade TRUE
