Hello FME Community,

We are currently using the following software versions:

  • FME Desktop: 2021.1.0.0 (20210630 - Build 21607 - WIN64, Python 3.6-3.9)
  • FME Server: 2021.1 (Build 21607 - win64, Python 3.6-3.9)
  • ArcGIS Enterprise: 10.9.1 (Python 3.7.11/2.7.18)
  • ArcGIS Pro: 2.7 (Python 3.7.9)

And we did not encounter any compatibility issues with our current setup regarding Python versions (as expected).

Now, we have a scheduled plan to upgrade our ArcGIS software to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 and ArcGIS Pro 3.1 this year, followed by an upgrade to our FME software next year.

Since ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 uses Python 3.11 and ArcGIS Pro 3.1 uses Python 3.9.16, could anyone please share if you have noticed any concerns or compatibility issues when using FME Desktop and Server 2021.1 with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 and ArcGIS Pro 3.1? Do we need to upgrade FME  before ArcGIS, from a technical performance and issues standpoint (please disregard tech support concerns for the purpose of this post)?

Looking at the FME/Esri version matrix, You’ll need to be running FME 2024.0.2.2 or newer to support those versions of Esri

Something you’ll need to be aware of is workbenches that are using Python 2.7, as that is getting well and truly depreciated

    I have a similar question.  My question is, will my jobs/workspaces that were built with the older ArcGIS Enterprise 10.x stop working or break once I upgrade to Enterprise 11?

    I can’t give a blanket confirmation, but it is very likely that things will continue to run. Make sure that the version of FME you’re using is compatible with the version of Enterprise. Make sure you update your readers/writers.

    Broadly speaking Esri largely has an interest in ensuring legacy applications (I wouldn’t count this as a legacy application) continue to run with newer versions of enterprise.
