Architecture

We are in the process of setting up a new license server for ArcGIS and FME, and I'm struggling with getting the FME license up and running.I have read https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19459/arcgis-and-fme-on-same-flexlm-license-server.html and https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19460/specify-port-numbers-used-by-flexlm.html and have adjusted the FME license file to run om port 28001 (leaving ArcGIS to use the default ports). Using LMTOOLS to get server status, it says that the service is up:--------Status--------Flexible License Manager status on Mon 2/11/2019 16:48[Detecting lmgrd processes...]License server status: 28001@A05-P1-LIC003    License file(s) on A05-P1-LIC003: C:\Program Files\FlexServer\safe.lic:A05-P1-LIC003: license server UP (MASTER) v11.15.0Vendor daemon status (on A05-P1-LIC003):      safe: UP v11.15.0Feature usage info:Users of FME:  (Total of 1 license issued;  Total of 0 licenses in use)Users of FME_GUI:  (Total of 1 license issued;  Total of 0 licenses in us

I recently applied for a new student license. The next day I used the license, a new computer arrived.So I applied for a new license but could not get it.Should I wait until the next update?

Hello, One of our FME Floating licenses has expired and we've got a new one. However, I don't know how should I proceed to install the new one. I've got just the new .fmelic file and I have access to the server. Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to licence a new installation of FME Server, but I keep getting these errors if I upload or request a new licence respectively. I'm sure my license file is valid. Whats going on?The license file failed to uploadLicense request did not succeed   

I performed an upgrade of FME Server from 2018.1 to 2019, Windows 64 bit Server Express installation. Post install, I can get to the FME Server GUI but cannot log in to it. Have tried: logging in with AD credentials, admin/admin account, or SA account.Uninstall and reinstalling FME Server 2019Hitting different URL addresseshttp://servername/fmeserverhttp://servername:80/fmeserverhttp://ipaddress/fmeserverhttp://serveralias/fmeserverPlease help!

admin/admin tried other browsers.I've tried this: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/79069/after-an-fme-server-upgrade-i-cannot-log-in.htmlBut I don't have that directory. I haven't run the postinstall.bat because I can't find it. Though I did find an icon image for it but no way to run it.

Hi I am trying to install FME Desktop 2019 onto an off network laptop Windows 10. Attached is the error I get during installation. I tried installing an older version of Desktop 2018 and this also gave me the same error. Then it rolls back and undoes the install.

Hello,i am attempting to roll out a silent install of FME 2018. The documentation is very good so i usemsiexec /i fme-desktop-2018.1.2-b18590-win-x64.msi /qb INSTALLLEVEL=3 INSTALLDIR="%programfiles%\\FME" ENABLE_POST_INSTALL_TASKS=noto run the installation.Unfortunately i get a message/ interrupt with a file in use error (i use /qr instead /qb to view the error). Is there an other switch to prevent this message? Best regards, Martin

Sometimes FME Server (2013 SP3) loses connection to the License-server. Is it possible to get an e-mail when there is currently "No active engine" on an FME Server installation? This should be possible as now we have to manually check now and then to see if FMEServer is "up and running"!

After installing FME Server 2018.1.2 ( Build 18590 - win 64 ), I'm getting the following erro message wehn trying toreach the Webgui from the server ( http://localhost/fmeserver ). Where can I found a log to solve that issue ?

Hi everyone,I use FME daily in many crucial processes I have developed here and I am running into quite an issue.I have done some research here but don't think I found anything exactly the same as what I have so I will explain. I have just been moved to a new Win10 64bit Machine. I do a lot of processes to and from Smallworld and different types of ESRI environments as well as a lot of Database reading and writing.I find any process I am writing or using that has been written in the past that involves reading or writing from an Access Database is crashing especially on the writing to the database aspect. I get the following as it crashes:Microsoft Access Writer: Unable to find provider 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', falling back to 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'. Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime might be missing from your system; follow this link for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39358Microsoft Access Writer: Connection failed.

You may recall that FME Server 2016+ has integrated a “Failover” mode. As a result, Safe Software has discontinued issuing the previous independent Failover license files in 2016+.  We still frequently receive failover license file requests from both clients and partners. Please be advised that anyone requesting an FME Server failover license via the new server licensing will receive a message stating, “Note: Failover license use is no longer supported with this version of FME Server. For up-to-date details, please contact your account manager, local partner or ." They will automatically receive a 60-day temporary license.  This notification was scheduled to appear Monday, February 11. Please note that this is only for FME Server 2016+ requests. Floating license server and desktop requests will continue to work without issue. If you have any questions, reach out to your Channel Account Manager or .

Hello, We have a server on which we have 4 engines installed. FME Version is 2016. In our setup on FME Server we have main workspace which is responsible for some preprocessing and then it submits child workspace using ServerJobSubmitter.  In some cases this child workspace also has ServerJobSubmitter because it processes huge data set and if we didn't split it into several runs then we woud get out of memory exception or have other problems. It looks quite nice but in some cases (probably when few jobs are executed also on other engines) in that child workspace we have an error:FME license system failure: The maximum number of concurrent FME instances specified in the license has been reached (-508)   What can be the reasson for that? ServerJobSubmitter is set to wait for jobs to complete

I have uploaded my python dependencies (various .py modules) to FME Resources as is described here. Resources are uploaded and updated using the rest api.My FMW's can then see the resources and use them. When I update or replace an existing module however the engines continue to use an older version of the module. Rebooting FME server resolves the problem but is obviously not a great solution.Any suggestions on how to get the engines to see the newly uploaded resources? Clear cached versions of python code? Ideally this would take place when the resources are updated.ThanksKevinFME Server Version: 2017.1 Build 17539 - Win64

I have several excel sheets that have same/similar structures, although some are missing their header names. I can migrate them to SQL Server one-by-one using FME. But I want to loop over the contents of my folder (i.e the excel files) and migrate them all in one go. How do I loop over them? I want to use the same header names for the files missing them as the ones that have them - the header names.

Hello everybody,please, Im trying to solve problem with FME license server. As I checked, there is possibility to restrict one floating license for specific usergroup (check there https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm). But, and its my question, is there any possibility to set exact usage time for specific usergroup?E.g. Just imagine FME License server with 2 floating licenses. I just wanna to restrict one license for usergroup called "GIS" only for daytime from 6PM till 6AM. From 6AM till 6PM, both licenses should be available for all users (doesnt matter of what usergroup). Is there any tool how to set it up please? Thank You so much for all ideas!Lubo

Hello, So I have an issue. I'm trying to run a workspace at work but there ar no standard arcgis licences avialable. So fme tries to use the arcpro licence. It gives this error: Unable to load a library in the folder: C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin. The error number returned from GetLastError is: 127Arcpro is set to work offline and there are plenty licences available. Anyone has an idea of what might be the issue. Also, arcgis 10.6.1 is installed with the right version of background geoprocessing and the version of arcpro is 2.3.0. Thanks,Simon

Was previously running Windows 10 Pro build version 1803, until yesterday when Windows decided to update me from build version 1803 to build version 1809. This update seemingly has deleted FME Desktop application, though the other FME application such as Data Inspector and Quick Translator are still present.I launched FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 and tried to enter in my Home Use License serial number into the Single-Fixed-License field. But it returned this error.""Invalid trial activation codeThis trial activation code has already been used to generate a license. If you wish to obtain a new trial activation code, please visit www.safe.com/trial.""  The license if valid for one year from 09/07/2018. So my license isn't expired either. I also tried pointing the FME Licensing Assistant 2018.1 to C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME\\Licenses since the license file still exists. That returned "License not valid on this computer" So I'm at a total l

Hi, I have a oracle database connection on the FME Server, the fme script runs fine from FME server if the connection is used for reading but when I try to write to it, it does not work.

We have a single instance of FME Server shared across multiple utilities (i.e, separate finances). We recently purchased an additional engine for one of our utilities, who has been consistently using the engine owned and paid for by another. Even though they now have their own, this utility's users continue to use the engine owned by the other utility, which hoses up that utility's jobs. Is there any way to limit engine access by user so that each utility's users can only see the engine specifically for them?

Hi!I'm in a university environment and we've installed FME in two computer labs. Since there are many computers that needs to be licensed through the licensing assistant (we're using floating licenses) I wonder if there is a way to do this process on several computers simultaneously instead of doing it one by one.Thanks in advance!/Henrik

Hello.I have a hard time with SLL configuration.I was following this Configuring for HTTPS I finish all steps without any error messages, however, when I try to open FMEServer by using HTTPS I receiving an unsafe window errorI have also edited all files as it was shown in the above-mentioned guidelines. Certificated also were added in the windows trusted certificates list. I am non-SSL guy but can the problem be that the installed certificate cipher suite "AES_128_CBC " is an old version and must be replaced with new "AES-GCM" cipher suite? I have marked the message about this on my unsafe error screenshot.How can I fix this?I am using FMEServer 2019.0 (19212) Beta and Google ChromeThank you for your help in advance. 

I cannot find what my current license serial number is to input into the upgraded 2018 FME Server license area. the temporary works for 7 days but want to use the license i had for 2015 server on 2018 server, 

Does anyone know if a "how to" article exists to instruct users how to setup and apply an FME Desktop FME ArcGIS Data Interop Edition licence? A description of how to add the licence to FME and then how to enable the licence over in ArcGIS as well as the requirements to ensure the ESRI Data Interoperability extension is licenced? It feels like something that 'should' exist but I can't find it. I've had a client ask for a reference document and I wanted to forward a link... It appears this might be an oversight from the docs and the KC. In Robyn's 2nd paragraph here she references it https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/21547/arcgis-data-interop-vs-fme-ext-for-arcgis.html.Thanks in advance, Dave

Need to get job run time.
