ArcGIS Pro Version

JeffHanson2 — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:21:56 GMT

We are migrating to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 in January. What version of ArcGIS Pro should we install? This will be our first use of ArcGIS Pro in a production environment.

Hey Jeff,

I use the newest version of ArcGIS Pro for my environment, of course it's 11.1 so slightly different, but I haven't experienced any issues so far with the interaction. As long as a license manager is setup and proper communication can be made from your network to the manager, you'll be set.

If you have any questions, I'll try to help out!

Thank you. We had 3.0 in dev, then 3.1 and 3.2 is now out. We think we are going to 3.2.

No problem! I've had no problems personally and the team I work with has experienced very few past a few bugs that were fixed seemingly very quickly.

If you use Parcel Fabric the versions of Pro and Enterprise are tied together. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. We are not using Fabric yet and we use Pro 3.1 and 3.2 and Enterprise 10.9.1 right now.

Why would you not go to version 11.2 now?

We are trying to get to 10.9.1 Enterprise so we can transition from ArcGIS Desktop to ArcGIS Pro. After that and a lot of test we will go to Enterprise 11.1. Right now, we are having problems with ESRI getting the migration from Enterprise 10.8.1 to 10.9.1 right - long story and ESRI has an update bug.

This is the history of every upgrade for me. Always some weird problem that "no one has ever seen before". I had a conversation with someone who consults for Esri and says he's done 100's of upgrades with no problems. I am sure it's better when you know the answers to the ambiguous upgrader script questions in advance? I always do the upgrades off hours and that means there is never a support tech available to me.

At 10.8 every web app builder app stopped working and Esri was unable to help. While waiting for an answer ("we've never seen this before") we migrated all apps to the WAB Developer Edition to avoid any repeats of that in future upgrades.

At 10.9, one of the components (Data Store) never installed correctly and now I have to fix it before I can go to 11. (It functions but runs under the wrong ownership.) Spent hours with techs and they were not able to fix it so I gave up.

MOST of the time, Esri support is great. Sometimes? Useless. I guess human beings work there.

We have users who will be on ArcMap until it actually stops running. I am sure everyone does.

Does this ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise compatibility resource help?

We currently use 10.9.1 and I have found Pro 3.1.1 to be generally bug/headache free. I tried 3.2.0 but there are issues with basic functionality that make it unusable for us.

Hope that helps.
