Is upgrading FME server 2019 from x86 to x64 on same machine possible. I have server 2019 x86 installed.

Safe Software is planning to drop native support for Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 9 in FME 2020.0. Ubuntu 18.04 is already supported and Debian 10 support will be added. FME Server for Docker will continue to run on all Linux variants that support Docker.If this change would affect you or your company, please reach out to us.

We have and end customer with 3 FME Desktop licenses;2 FME Professional Editon (Floating licenses)1 FME Databse Edition (Fixed license)In addition they have the add-on Curvefitter for FME (Floating License) FME Database Edition is installed (and licensed) on a server (running scheduled jobs). Is it possible to install(and licence) a FME Professional with Curvefitter on the same server? Or do they have to change license type for Curvefitter from floating to fixed?

As the subject line states… This is a fresh installation of FME Server v 2019.1.2 Build 19630.I enter U: Admin P: Admin and it takes me right back to the login interface.The installation docs online state the following: Confirm that FME Server is available:Log in to the Web User Interface with the username and password you entered during installation.There was no prompt to enter a user name and password during installation. FME Server is installed on a Virtual Machine - Windows 2016 Server Any help would be great

I'm currently preparing to upgrade to FME Server 2019. I'm looking to install the new version in parallel but when attempting to install the new version of FME Server, it results in an error of "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue." This error occurs when using a different directory and/or drive.There are a couple of articles I've read, one mentions installing multiple versions of FME Server is possible (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/796/installing-multiple-versions-of-fme.html), while the administrator guide states uninstall then install (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Upgrade-in-Place-Same-Machine.htm ).Is it possible to install multiple versions on the same machine?

As I never have migrated FME server before, I'm not sure what to expect / what the best practice is. I have mainly standalone workspaces in server 2016 which are started via the API from an external application. I studied the "Migrating From REST API V2" documentation and understand the changes.What is the correct way to migrate the workspaces? Download them using desktop 2016 and upload them using 2019? I understand there are no guarantees and will check outputs but should this work in general? Or is this a real no go.For desktop workspace migrations I copy - paste all transformers in a new workspace and then upgrade them individually, or just rebuild the entire workspace. But I would not prefer to do that for all server workspaces if not needed.

Bought a new computer and are trying to install my FME again.When I use the original installationfile (fme-desktop-2013-SP2-win-x86.msi) the computer says that the administrator has blocked the installation and I should contact him/her but I am the only one using my computer?How can I get around that, I have win 10 pro 64-bit

Hello,I have just finished to install FME Server (build 19 617).(Installation with our own Oracle db).I can connect to the Web interface, launch workspaces, build automations, create new user, publish workspace, etc. BUT I CANNOT create a new Database Connection (Oracle or geodatabase, etc.). When I tried I get this message : The rest api "/fmerest/v3/namedconnections/connections" get a code 500 in response. I also tried to publish a workspace with a database connection but I get this message : Database connections access failed - FME Server encountered an error and reported the following message.929028:SQL Query SELECT NCID FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE connectionname = ? AND username IS NULL failed. Error: Unsupported featureRequest to http://xxxxxxxxxx/fmerest/v3/namedconnections/connections returned status code 500. I found a dirty workaround :1. Insert a new row in the table fme_nc_namedconnections in the Oracle FME Server database2. Then the connection is visible

I have created a bunch of FME server Apps (FME 2019), and they're highly appreciated. Easy to use and to understand. When used with the right input data it's just fenomenal.However, when something goes wrong (usually faulty indata) there isn't much information about what went wrong. It just says FAILURE. In cases that yielded zero output features. It just says COMPLETED (and does not present the results because there are none).Is it possible (of course it is) to get somewhat a somewhat more verbose response? How do I do it? Is it a notification service? Where do I start? I am at a complete loss. (It was 2 years ago I went to the FME server course and the memory seems to be of non stick material)I just want the server app to respond with something at the app running page. Please save me!

Hi All,In the FME "Desktop Administrator's Guide" there are only instructions regarding Installing a Floating License on Windows / Linux. How to install a Floating License on Mac OSX 64-bit? Thanks in advance 

My FME Server environment has one engine that is 32-bit. The others are 64. I have a workspace configured to run under a queue (Engine 3) that is 32-bit, and consists of FMEServerJobSubmitter transformers, launching workspaces that are required to run as 32-bit, due to format limitations. The FMEServerJobSubmitters are configured with the following parameters:Submit Jobs: In SequenceWait for Jobs to Complete: YesSub-processes are being generated and run under Engine 3, however, while the parent workspace runs as 32-bit, the child processes run (and fail) as 64-bit. This is apparent in the log files based on where the FME_HOME parameter is pointing to. Is there any way to have the sub-processes run as 32-bit, preferably with the same engine? Note:I need to perform further processing once all the child processes have completed, so I am open to other suggestions to notify another application that this has occurred

There is a bug in FME Server 2015 1.3.1. that lets me change the number of engines on the core-server, but not on the attached engine-only server. Default is 2 engines per server, 4 in total. I want 3 engines to run on the core, and 1 on the other server. Is there a way to edit fme-engine config file to force ONLY 1 engine even if there are licenses available?

Hello,We are in a process of upgrading fme 2016 to 2019. After some tests that passed well we need to move all our components to use fme 2019.  Normally what we would do is to create backup of fme 2016 and restore it on 2019. And this is what we did initially, Then for 2 weeks both 2016 and 2019 was running thats why we have some new things on 2016 and some on 2019.  What we need to migrate from 2016 to 2019 are only schedules that were created after given date.  For some reason I can't create normal backup on fme 2016 right now. I wrote it to safe support and they know that in this build there is a bug so we would need to apply fot fix.  My idea to do it in a different way is to:  1. Use fme 2016 desktop to export FME Server Configuration to ffs file (choosing repository and scheduling) 2. Run fme 2016 desktop to write from ffs file to fme server configuration of fme 2019 only scheduling with insert mode.  Will it work and I will not do any damages to new fme 2019 database configu

Hello I have just upgraded to FME Desktop 2019.1 and am getting a few errors when running a published workspace in FME Cloud.How is FME Cloud Upgraded? and is it necessary to keep the two in sync?

I upgraded FME Server to 2019.1 and my streaming services are failing. It appears that 'FME_SERVER_WEB_URL' in the request did not pick up the change when I enabled HTTPS during the install. It is still showing the original HTTP url with Port 8080 (http://SERVERNAME:8080). Is there another file besides fmeServerConfig.txt that needs to be modified? I have a distributed architecture deployment: All components are on a single machine except the Web Services component, that is on a separate machine. I upgraded from 2019.0.1 to 2019.1 and now my streaming services are not providing an output. Thanks in advance.-Mark

I need to create FME Smallworld Edition license server. Do I need to install smallworld core on that system?

My company has an MITM proxy setup, which is resulting in many cloud based service requests failing. Obviously it only applies to any requests via HTTPS, so I am wondering how other people have gotten around these issues? I have set the correct proxy settings within the 'Network Proxy' options and have even setup custom proxies for each of the cloud based services, but still no success.For instance, attempting to use the HTTPCaller to access the HERE Geocoder results in the following error (the blacked out proxy is correct):An example of another issue I am encountering is when I attempt to create a CartoDB connection, I am receiving the following error (the blacked out domains are correct):I have tried everything other than asking my IT department to white list the cloud based services. IT have confirmed that they can see the requests reaching the proxy, but have claimed that the authentication needs to be set to NTLM, but this only results in similar errors. Even when I use th

Update: Newb issue with FME Server. Opened up port 587 on the FME Cloud security settings. So as with most things I solved my own problem minutes after I gave up and asked for help.I am building an application using FME Server (cloud) and part of it is an email exchange. Using the extensive tutorials provided by Safe (thank you for that) I am able to receive and process the email from an Office 365 accout with imap settings outlook.office365.com and publish to a READ_EMAIL notifier. The issue I am now having is setting up the SMTP settings. Following the great tutorials by Safe I can successfully send via my gmail account. However, Office365 seems to be another animal. I've logged into the account and used the specified settings:Server name: smtp.office365.comPort: 587Encryption method: TLSI've tried every permutation of this (SSL, TLS, nothing, etc.) The only place I can see the difference is there is no option to verify the certificate (yes or no.) Microsoft specifies not to

I'm using fme desktop 2018 (18586) on ubuntu 18.04 and that was working perfectly. After an update on the system, fme workbench isn't initializing anymore but the other applications are working fine(data inspector, license manager, and quicktranslator)

Hello,We have fme 2016.We have two engine servers, on each one 4 engines. What is the algorithm for choosing engine to each new job will be assigned? Let's say that we are not using any routing tags.   

Root certificates are automatically placed in “C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\jre\\lib\\security”. This is where the keystore is and also our self-signed root certificate with others. In “C:\\Program Files\\FMEServer\\Server\\fme\\ssl” we can find only the PEM file which is obtained from Mozilla (public root certificates). Unfortunately we cannot find anywhere how to use the keystore instead of a standard PEM file, as FME takes only public root certificates. Now we made some changes in the PEM file to import the root certificate. But how to officially import an Self-Signed SSL certificate in keystore on FME Server? Kind regards,GeoJan
