Do I need a specific ArcGIS Pro version to publish to a specific ArcGIS Enterprise version or ArcGIS Online? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n While we recommend using the latest version of ArcGIS Pro with the latest version of ArcGIS Enterprise, you can use ArcGIS Pro 3.0 to publish to older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise. Similarly, you can use ArcGIS Pro 2.9 or earlier supported versions to publish to ArcGIS Enterprise 11 or earlier supported versions. You can also publish to ArcGIS Online with any version of ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n However, publishing may downgrade newer content in cases where functionality is not supported on older servers. In other cases, publishing newer content to older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise may not be possible. For example, annotation, dimension, utility network, and trace network datasets created or updated to 3.0 cannot be shared to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or earlier.<\/p>\n As another example, web tools or geoprocessing services referencing new tools in 3.0 cannot be shared to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or earlier. You may encounter issues if you publish system tools with modified or new parameters that are not compatible with earlier versions of ArcGIS Enterprise. Data in newer formats or document files created or updated to 3.0 cannot be used in web tools shared to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or earlier. 3. Will service definition files created in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 still work with all ArcGIS Enterprise versions?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When creating a service definition with server connection information, the .sd file will contain content that matches the server version. When creating offline (connection-neutral) service definitions, you can specify the version when saving an offline service definition for a web layer or map service. This ensures that content is compatible with your server. You can create multiple service definition files if you need to publish to different server versions. An ArcGIS Online option is also available.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1557052,"id":1557052,"title":"Save an offline service definition_resize","filename":"Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","filesize":30007,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/should-i-upgrade-to-arcgis-pro-3-0-to-share-my-work\/save-an-offline-service-definition_resize","alt":"Specify the version when saving an offline service definition for a web layer or map service","author":"81122","description":"","caption":"","name":"save-an-offline-service-definition_resize","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1552342,"date":"2022-04-18 16:38:04","modified":"2022-04-18 16:38:13","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":368,"height":630,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","medium-width":152,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","medium_large-width":368,"medium_large-height":630,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","large-width":368,"large-height":630,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","1536x1536-width":368,"1536x1536-height":630,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","2048x2048-width":368,"2048x2048-height":630,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize-272x465.png","card_image-width":272,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Save-an-offline-service-definition_resize.png","wide_image-width":368,"wide_image-height":630}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/pro.arcgis.com\/en\/pro-app\/latest\/help\/sharing\/overview\/introduction-to-saving-service-definitions.htm"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" 4. Can I publish old service definitions created in ArcGIS Pro 2.x to ArcGIS Enterprise 11? What about publishing service definitions created in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 to older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, you can still publish existing service definitions to ArcGIS Enterprise 11. If you create an .sd file from a map authored with something new at ArcGIS Pro 3.0, such as new symbology, your content may appear slightly downgraded if you publish the service definition to an earlier version of ArcGIS Enterprise.<\/p>\n 5. Can I still share web layers and publish services using Python in ArcGIS Pro 3.0?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n You can still automate sharing web layers and services with\u00a0Python. If you want to create an offline service definition, use the offlineTarget property in the\u00a0FeatureSharingDraft<\/a>,\u00a0MapImageSharingDraft<\/a>,\u00a0TileSharingDraft<\/a>, or\u00a0MapServiceDraft<\/a>\u00a0classes. Use this and the\u00a0offline\u00a0property to specify a server version when creating an offline service definition. The offline service definition will contain content compatible with your portal, your stand-alone server, or\u00a0ArcGIS Online. You can create multiple service definition files if you need to publish to different server versions.<\/p>\n 6.
