Automating GIS Workflows with the ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability Extension
Questions? Contact: Stephanie.Long@austincc.edu
Welcome to our dedicated ArcGIS Pro Data Interoperability Extension website, aimed at guiding you through the mastery of automating Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes using ArcGIS Pro and the Data Interoperability Extension. The website is structured into three key topics: Introduction to ETL, Advanced ETL, and Custom ETL. Each topic includes a detailed description, learning objectives, slides, practical exercises, discussion groups for engagement, formative quizzes, and links to the next step.
Upon completion of all three topics, you are encouraged to tackle the Transit Equity Assessment Project, providing a real-world application of your newfound skills. The website incorporates opportunities for feedback with the author and your classmates through discussion threads and offers formative assessments in the form of short quizzes throughout the learning journey.
It's important to note that the website requires the installation of the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS Pro to access the FME Workbench. Detailed installation instructions are provided, including additional resources such as explanations of ArcGIS Pro extensions, the Data Interoperability Extension, and FME. A step-by-step video guide and troubleshooting information are also available to ensure a smooth installation process. For any inquiries, you are encouraged to reach out to the instructor via email.
Embark on this educational experience, enhance your proficiency with ETL processes, and gain valuable insights into spatial data management. We look forward to receiving your feedback as you progress through the learning materials.
The goal of this website is for students to learn how to select the correct methods for automating Extract, Transform, and Load processes using ArcGIS Pro and the Data Interoperability Extension.
Materials are organized into the Topics: Introduction to ETL, Advanced ETL, and Custom ETL.
With each topic, students are provided:
A topic description
An outline based on learning goals and objectives
Slides with accompanying topic details
A practical exercise to apply the new knowledge
A discussion group with threads for engaging with classmates and the instructor
A quiz to act as formative feedback
A link to the next step
Upon completion of all three topics, students should attempt the Transit Equity Assessment Project.
Please provide feedback on your experience when ready.
This website requires that you install the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS Pro in order to access an FME Workbench.

Installation Insructions:
Install the ArcGIS Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS Pro. Note: Your version of ArcGIS Pro might be different.
Watch this video here for a step-through on how to run the *.exe file to install the extension on your computer and get it working.
Please note that the Data Interoperability Extension requires an "All Users" installation of ArcGIS Pro. If this is not the case on your computer, you will need to uninstall ArcGIS Pro and reinstall it, selecting the "All users of this PC" radio button instead of just one account. If you get an error regarding a Microsoft Driver, you can read more information about it here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/excel/work-with-excel-in-arcgis-pro.htm Install the correct driver for your computer setup.
Email the instructor if you have any questions about this process.
