ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 3 – Announcement!

Well it’s been a tough few weeks for me with a lot happening, but things are just about back to normal so I am catching up on all the reading and information being posted out there. I see ESRI has released the announcement about ArcGIS 9.2 Service Pack 3.

Summary:
ArcGIS 9.2 service pack 3 is planned to be available for download later this month July, 2007.

Description:
Users who cannot download this service pack from the Web site will be able to request it on CD.

So what’s coming? Here are some highlights for me:

NIM004916 – You can no longer append records to an existing personal geodatabase (MDB) or file geodatabase (GDB).
Hmm don’t really understand what this refers to.

NIM007060 – Web Mapping Applications published from Manager are not enabled as applications in IIS when the Web site to which Manager has been deployed is running and has a port number other than the default of 80.
Great to see this has now been added.

NIM007061 – Web Mapping Applications published from Manager are not enabled as applications in IIS when Manager has been deployed to a Web site other than the Default Web Site in IIS Manager.
Same as above.

NIM009161 – The client mobile application will crash if a Cache layer is added to an uninitiated map.
Good to see this has been fixed as it was an annoying little issue.

NIM007560 – Service and Map images do not display when running on Window2003 Server SP2.
Nice to see support for this is now added.

The full list of fixes can be found here: http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=downloads.patchesServicePacks.viewPatch&PID=17&MetaID=1319 with the SP due at the end of the month.
