The other week I posted about Esri’s release of ArcGIS 10.2.1 and some of the enhancements this new version contained. Since then my friend David Coley from Sarasota County Florida has share their experience upgrading to 10.2.1. I thought others might appreciate knowing what they experienced so I am sharing what he sent me.

“Yes Tripp is correct in installing this full release in a development environment first.

Sarasota County GIS experienced difficulties with License Manager (port related), Web Adaptor (must remove existing arcgis site if you want to update it as arcgis again), Server (system and utilities tools have display touchy behavior changes if you want them hosted on say your GpCluster server(s). We are still working to move certain server tools such as Printing off of our mapCluster.

On the plus side, Single machine default clusters, much like our dev environment, behave well.

On the desktop side, there is supposed to be some NetworkAnalyst fixes addressing replication but we have yet to see any change (i.e. replication still fails with our streets when a na is present in your production child).

Thanks, hope this helps some of you” – David Coley, ArcGIS Server Administrator & Developer, Sarasota County FL GIS
