Side-by-side installation of ArcGIS Data Interoperability products - ArcGIS Pro 3.1 / Enterprise 11.1 and later

Summary

Beginning with ArcGIS Pro 3.1 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1, ArcGIS Data Interoperability products can be installed and used on the same machine in a supported configuration, if version alignment requirements are met.

Description

ArcGIS Data Interoperability is available across multiple ArcGIS components:

• ArcGIS Pro (desktop extension)
• ArcGIS Enterprise (server extension)

In earlier releases, installing multiple Data Interoperability products on the same machine could cause conflicts affecting:

• Quick Import / Quick Export dialogs
• Dataset browsers 
• Printing services
• Spatial ETL tool publishing

These limitations have been addressed in Pro 3.1 / Enterprise 11.1, and supported side-by-side operation is now available.

Supported Configuration

Side-by-side installation is supported under the following conditions:

Version alignment

• Data Interoperability must match the release version of its host platform (Pro ↔ Enterprise).
• Both environments must use the same FME engine version.

Example (supported pairing):

This version pairing is documented in official Esri system requirements, which specifies that Pro 3.1 and Enterprise 11.1 both include FME 2022.2.1.0

Valid deployment scenario

• ArcGIS Pro 3.1 + Data Interop (Pro)
• ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 + Data Interop (Server)
• Installed on the same machine

This configuration is supported for the following:

• Authoring Spatial ETL tools in Pro
• Sharing and running web tools in Enterprise
• Publishing and running geoprocessing Services in standalone ArcGIS Server

Expected Behavior

In a supported configuration:

• Quick Import and Quick Export tools function normally in ArcGIS Pro.
• Dataset input/output pickers operate correctly.
• Printing services are executed as expected.
• Spatial ETL tools can be authored and successfully published to Enterprise or Server.

Important Considerations

• Version matching is critical.
  Compatibility depends on matching versions across:
  • ArcGIS Pro
  • ArcGIS Enterprise
  • Data Interoperability extension
  • FME engine

Mismatch between these components may result in failures or unexpected behavior.

• Installation order is no longer required.
  • Previous releases required specific install order or repair installs.
  • As of Pro 3.1 / Enterprise 11.1, install sequence no longer impacts functionality.
• Legacy products are not supported.
  • ArcMap/Data Interoperability (10.x) should not be installed alongside Pro/Enterprise deployments.
  • These combinations may still introduce conflicts and are unsupported.

This page includes the authoritative table mapping:

• ArcGIS Pro version
• ArcGIS Server / Enterprise version
• Included FME engine version

Resolution

No action is required when using supported versions (Pro 3.1 / Enterprise 11.1 or later).
If issues occur:

1. Verify version alignment across Pro, Enterprise, and Data Interoperability.
2. Confirm extension installation and licensing.
3. Validate FME engine version consistency.
