Hello Safers,

I am currently planning on implementing a FME Flow server that I’ll need to use within an ArcGIS Enterprise that is federated. I understand based on the documentation that I need ArcGIS Server installed and licensed on that server before attempting to install FME Flow. 

This have I have already done. I’m now onto creating a site for this machine. I imagine this site would be federated with my ArcGIS Enterprise? We also have a separate server that contains all of our Web Adaptors. Would install the Web Adaptor the same as any other ArcGIS Server, and separately have the Apache application server install on my FME Flow? I would then use the aforementioned to create a reverse proxy so that external traffic is then routed onto our FME Flow server. Does this not effectively mean there are two different configurations: One to direct traffic to our ArcGIS Server site, and then another to our FME Flow Web Application Server?

Basically, the question above is: I would configure my ArcGIS Server as just another server within my Enterprise, and THEN configure my FME Flow server on top of it. Or, is there something I should know why configuring my ArcGIS Server site that will impact it’s configuration knowing I will also install FME Flow on the same server?

Documentation being referenced: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407364847885-Using-IIS-and-ARR-as-a-Reverse-Proxy-in-FME-Flow

I maybe really confusing myself, and I appreciate input from Safers whom know better than I!

Thank you,

Kristen

From past experiences, all that needs to occur is for ArcGIS Service to be installed. It doesn’t need a site to be setup. In fact, I believe it doesn’t even need to be running - just installed.
