I'm trying to read data from attribute enabled feature classes, but FME is defaulting to using my ArcGIS 64bit background geoprocessing installation to read the data, instead of my arcpro installation.
This is solved by un-installing 64bit background geoprocessing, which means FME can only find the arcpro installation, which it then uses and reads the data.
Is it possible to tell FME which to use manually, so background geoprocessing does not need to be un-installed?
Hi @comelio
If you are using FME Desktop/Server 2021, we have a new option under
In your FME Workspace, go to Navigator --> Workspace Parameter --> Translation --> Esri ArcGIS Compatability
Set this to "Esri ArcGIS Pro"
For FME Desktop/Server 2020.0 or earlier
Go to Navigator --> Workspace Parameter --> Scripting --> Python Compatability
Set the Python Compatability to "Esri ArcGIS Desktop 3.6 /3.7"
If there is no python transformer in the workspace, you may need to add a single line under
"Start up Python Script"
import osThis will ensure that FME does not overwrite Python Compatability when editing workspace.
