GIS Users,

As you know, we are in the process of implementing a new ArcSDE server.
Everything is going well and it is time for you to make two changes to =
your
ArcView 3.2a setup and existing ArcView 3.2a projects.

(1) The first thing to do is update your ArcView 3.2a STARTUP file to =
point
to the new versions of the FDEP extensions.  Click on the link below to =
bring
up the update web page.  Follow the instructions on the web page.  It is
important to do this before you do item (2) below.  You should do this =
as
soon as possile.

	Click here and select "Open it"  to bring up the update web page =
=3D=3D>
file:\\arcsde\library\avconfig\sys32a\startupupdate.htm

(2) The second thing to do is to translate all of your existing projects =
that
use SDE data to draw the data from the new ArcSDE server.  To accomplish
this, we have created a translation program named SDESRVCHNG (an EXE
executable).  The SDESRVCHNG program reads an ArcView 3.2a project file,
creates a backup copy just in case bad things happen, and re-writes the =
file
pointing to the new ArcSDE server.  (The backup project is named
<OriginalProjectName>_bu.apr, where <OriginalProjectName> is the =
original
name of the project file.)

	Click here and select "Save to disk" =3D=3D>
\\gisnt6\mapper\server\SdeSrvChng\SrverChng.exe

This will copy the EXE to your computer.  You may run it from your =
computer.
This program does not require an installation process other than copying =
to
your local machine.

	   *** Please translate your existing ArcView 3.2a projects using SDE
layers by 7/16/02 ***

If you have any problems or questions, please call the GIS Help Desk at
921-9745 (SC 291-9745).
