Hi All,

We have deployed FME Flow 2024.2.2 with ArcGIS 3.4 and wanted to run a few tests to ensure that Flow works correctly with the arcpy library. Below is the installation setup on the same virtual machine:

  • FME Flow 2024.2.2
  • ArcGIS 3.4

I have created a very simple Workbench in FME Form that invokes arcpy, and it works fine with the following Python compatibilities:

  • Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9+
  • Esri ArcGIS Python 3.11

I uploaded the same Workbench into FME Flow 2024.2.2 and encountered the following error after running the tool:

Any idea? I have tried with 3.9 and 3.11 already,

Thanks in advanced :)

Legally you need an esri enterprise installation on the same machine as fme server. See the fme esri compatibilty article. I think I have read that technically ArcGIS pro used to work, but probably not anymore. Same for ArcGIS Desktop.
