The system and hardware requirements for ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server are listed below.
To learn more about installing ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server, see Install ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server using the installation guide.
To learn more about the capabilities of ArcGIS Data Pipelines, see Introduction to ArcGIS Data Pipelines.
Note:
At ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0, ArcGIS Data Pipelines is a beta feature. While in beta, this capability may not be feature complete and, as such, may have known performance or quality issues and will not be supported by Esri Technical Support. Feedback on this feature can be provided in the ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0 Beta Features Early Adopter Community.Hardware requirements
The minimum RAM requirement for ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server is 16 GB per machine.
For a production environment, hardware requirements are not listed because the user and business needs of the software may vary. These requirements must be considered in determining hardware needs to meet performance and scalability expectations.
Port availability
ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server communicates with ArcGIS Enterprise on port HTTPS 14443. Verify that HTTPS port 14443 is available on the ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server machine and is opened to your firewall before installing the software.
Additionally, ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server communicates internally on random ephemeral ports that are chosen by the OS. These ports are internal only and do not require firewall settings. They are required to connect to the ArcGIS Data Pipelines editor and run data pipelines.
To communicate with the ArcGIS Enterprise with which it's federated, ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server needs access to ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS on HTTPS ports 6443 and 7443 respectively.
Note:
This component is only one part of an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. See ArcGIS Enterprise system requirements for a diagram and links to information about the ports needed to communicate with other components in ArcGIS Enterprise.Microsoft Windows operating system requirements
Several internet host name specifications have designated the underscore character as nonstandard. Although Microsoft Windows allows the underscore in a machine name, it can cause problems when you interact with other servers and platforms. For this reason, ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server will not install on servers that have an underscore in the host name.
The operating system of your ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server machines can be different from those of the other machines in your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment.
ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server is not supported on domain controllers. Installing ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server on a domain controller may adversely affect functionality.
The following 64-bit operating systems satisfy the minimum operating system requirements.
| Supported operating system | Latest update or service pack tested |
|---|---|
Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter | Sept 2025 update |
Windows Server 2022 Standard and Datacenter | Sept 2025 update |
Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter | Sept 2025 update |
Prior and future updates or service packs for these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated. The operating system version and updates must also be supported by the operating system provider.
Cloud implementation
ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server cloud implementation is currently supported on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
SSL certificates
ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server is preconfigured with a self-signed certificate that allows the server to be initially tested and to help you quickly verify that your installation was successful.
You must request a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) and configure ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server to use it. This can be a domain certificate issued by your organization or a CA-signed certificate. The certificate must have a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) configured or ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server will not work properly.
Note:
Certificates created using IIS do not have the option to include a SAN. Use the script in Create a domain certificate, which includes a SAN, with the certificate created.
Portal for ArcGIS also includes a preconfigured self-signed certificate. Because you'll federate an ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server site with your portal, request a certificate from a trusted CA and configure the portal to use it.
Software prerequisites
ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server requires an ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment licensed with ArcGIS Enterprise. The ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server site must be federated with ArcGIS Enterprise to function; you cannot have a stand-alone ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server site.
The ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server site is required to be installed on a separate machine from other ArcGIS Enterprise components. All software components must use the same software version whether you're installing for the first time or upgrading from an earlier version.
As per the requirements of the base deployment, the ArcGIS Data Store configured as a relational store is required. ArcGIS Data Pipelines creates and updates hosted feature layers that are stored in the relational store.
Domain name system and fully qualified domain name recommendations
It's recommended that you configure your organization's Domain Name System (DNS) to include Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) entries for the ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server site. The ArcGIS Enterprise portal will request the FQDN of your server site when you federate it.
Supported web browsers
The ArcGIS Data Pipelines Server installation wizard is supported by all web browsers including but not limited to the following:
- Google Chrome version 138 and later
- Microsoft Edge version 138 and later
- Mozilla Firefox version 142 and later
- Mozilla Firefox version 140 (ESR)
- Safari version 18 and later
