Environment:
Client : ArcGIS 10.2.1 - ArcCatalog
Database: Oracle 12c for new SDE 10.2 GDB and Oracle 10g for old SDE 9.2 GDB
SDE: Old GDB: ArcSDE 9.2 , New GDB: ArcSDE 10.2
Issues: Connection to old ArcSDE 9.2 GDB using ArcSDE 10.2
I researched and found that the ArcGIS 10.1 onwards it is not possible to connected to ArcGIS 9.2
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//003n00000008000000
"Pre-9.3 direct connect drivers are an optional separate installation available on the ArcGIS 9.3 client installation media."
In old system, Oracle 10g database is configured to ArcSDE 9.2 Geodatabase. I also have the extracted dump (data) from Oracle 10g database to 12c Database and trying to connect it using
ArcCatalog 10.2. But ArcCatalog get crashed upon direct connection.
I don’t have license for ArcCatalog 9.2 to connect to Old Database. Also I tried connecting old ArcSDE 9.2 GDB using ArcGIS 10.2.1 but I get below error message:
"Failed to connect to the specified server. Do you want to continue?
ArcSDE Direct Connect driver release isn't compatible with ArcSDE database instance release [Connection failed when attempting to connect using 10.2 ArcGIS client to a 9.2 geodatabase. A 9.2 geodatabase is too old to be supported by this ArcGIS client release. ArcSDE Direct Connect driver release - 102001; ArcSDE database instance release - 92011; ArcSDE low release for instance 93001]"
I would like to know if there is any workaround to get the ArcSDE 9.2 data from oracle 10g in the ArcGIS 10.2.1 geodatabase (whether import/connect/extract)?
Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
