I’m currently working in an infrastructure built with ArcGIS 10.0 (Desktop and Server) [SP2 build 3200] and because for some functionalities (ArcGIS for Desktop extensions) I need to use a newer version I’m testing how the ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1 copes with infrastructure built with 10.0. And so far it goes quite poorly…
I guess my biggest problem is following: there’s and ArcSDE geodb (10.0) set-up in PostgreSQL 8.0.1 which works perfectly with the 10.0 version. However if I want to access (through a direct connection) any raster stored in the geodb from the ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.1 (ArcMAP, ArcCatalog) it crashes without any warning or error.
Has anyone encountered such behaviour? The weird part is that I can list the ArcSDE db and use tables and vector layers without any problems. The problem starts when I want to access any rasters in ArcCatalog or ArcMap. The rasters which are stored are standard rasters like orthophotomap, dem,
The operating systems are: Windows 7 SP1 x86 for the 10.0 version and Windows XP SP3 for the 10.2.1 version. I have PosgreSQL client files installed. I’ve tried 9.0.5 client files, as it’s the oldest version of postgresql which shows under client files for 10.2.1 version and also old 10.0 client files, which I have for 10.0 ArcGIS version.
I do not have RDBMS files installes as I’m not sure what are they for.
