An annual update of the U.S. data is available with Business Analyst Enterprise and can be downloaded from My Esri. The U.S. 2023 can be downloaded now. This topic will instruct you on how to download, extract, and deploy the updated data to the system.

Downloading the data from My Esri

The following steps will guide you on downloading data for ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise.

  4. Under the Data and Content heading, there are seven files listed.
  5. Download all files.

Extracting downloads

  1. The Business Analyst Enterprise 2023 Data for the U.S. is split into two 7-Zip archive files because of the size of the download. 7-Zip will be needed to extract it. Only the first file with the extension of 001 needs to be extracted, 7-Zip will automatically extract the second part of the archive with the 002 extension along with it.

    Note:
    7-Zip is a free software download that can be used on any computer without needing to be registered, if it is not already installed, it can be downloaded from the 7-Zip website.

  2. The streets data is split into three 7-Zip archive files because of the size of the download. Use 7-Zip to extract the first file with the 001 extension, the files with the 002 and 003 extensions will be automatically assembled along with it.
  3. The Geocoding data is a single zip folder and can be extracted with 7-Zip or with the built in Windows installer.
  4. After extracting these files, there should be four folders:

    • GEDatapack_USA_2023R2.zip
    • Streets Data
    • Geocoding Data for ArcGIS Pro
    • GEDDatapack_USA_DataAxle_POI_2023R1.zip

Deploying the updated data to Business Analyst Enterprise

  1. The 2023 data can be deployed alongside the 2022 and 2021 data or installed by itself. If you want to remove the previous vintages of data, see Removing data packs.
  2. Install the 2023 data pack using the data management wizard. See Installing data packs for a walk-through on using the add data option.

    If replacing the 2023R1 data with 2023R2, first uninstall the first release of United States (Esri 2023) and United States (Data Axle POI).

  3. Update the routing services with the updated 2023 streets data.
    1. Apply the updated data license file for the streets data. The .sdlic file can now be downloaded from My Esri by clicking on My Organizations and then clicking on Licensing and then License Files. There should be a section called License Files related to Business Analyst and ArcGIS StreetMap Premium. See Configuring routing services.
    2. Delete the existing routing services from ArcGIS Server Manager as the publish routing services utility cannot overwrite them. The entire routing folder can be deleted, and it will delete all of the service within the folder.
