Upgrade an existing ArcGIS Maritime server extension installation

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

Available with Production Mapping license.

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

The ArcGIS Maritime server extension setup package is designed to detect and upgrade from an existing installation of Mapping and Charting Solutions on the target system. If you upgrade to ArcGIS Server 11.3, you must upgrade your previous ArcGIS Maritime or Mapping and Charting Solutions to the ArcGIS Maritime 11.3 server extension. You cannot run mismatched versions of software.

Note:

If you already have Maritime server or Mapping and Charting Solutions installed, the Maritime server extension setup automatically upgrades it to ArcGIS Maritime 11.3. After the upgrade, only the ArcGIS Maritime 11.3 server extension will appear in your list of programs.

Upgrade from an earlier version of Maritime Chart Service (10.5-10.8)

To upgrade to ArcGIS Maritime 11.3, you must complete the following steps to delete the existing Maritime server object extension (SOE).

If you are upgrading an existing 10.5 or later version to 10.8, perform the steps in the following section to upgrade from a 10.8.1 or later version of Maritime Chart Service.

Note:

You may notice maps with Maritime Chart Service enabled no longer have Maritime Chart Service listed under the map service's capabilities. This is due to the added support for the Authoring Application coming from ArcGIS Pro. Before 10.8.1, the Authoring Application supported ArcMap. Your services will be restored once the following steps are completed.

Note:

Note:

Once you have upgraded to the latest version of the Maritime server extension, you can deploy Custom Chart Builder (CCB).

Upgrade Custom Chart Builder (CCB)

Before starting the upgrade process, you should back up your existing Custom Chart Builder (CCB) deployment. Doing so facilitates the new deployment by preserving some of your settings. It is critical to back up your existing deployment if you made customizations to the web app or Custom Chart Builder (CCB) configuration files.

Once you have backed up your existing Custom Chart Builder (CCB) deployment, you can redeploy the new version of Custom Chart Builder (CCB). Once complete, you can merge any previous configuration changes.
