Adding an ArcSDE Server Connection

To access data from an ArcSDE server, TerraBuilder requires access to specific ArcSDE components (dynamic link library files): sde.dll, pe.dll and sg.dll, of versions 10.0, 9.3 or 9.2. For versions 9.2 and 9.3, msvcr71.dll is also required. These files are installed with various Esri components, including ArcGIS Desktop and ArcSDE SDK, as well as the free viewers, ArcGIS Explorer Desktop and ArcReader. See http://www.esri.com/products#free_viewers_panel

To allow TerraBuilder to access these files, do any of the following:

§  Make sure an ARCGISHOME or AGSDESKTOPJAVA environment variable is defined on your system and includes a reference to a folder under which a bin folder exists with the above mentioned files.

§  Make sure a PATH environment variable is defined on your system and includes a reference to a folder under which a bin folder exists with the above mentioned files.

§  Copy the DLL’s to the main TerraBuilder folder.
