The FME License Sever service will not start with the License file provided. See the below error when attempting to start the service. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps in the install guide and the Safe.com knowledge base. Can you please provided guidance on how to get past this error?

I am trying to read data from a shared drive into a PATH reader on server and keep getting "Could not find folder'I have checked permissions on the server, i have the services with the right permissions, i have even tried adding the shared drive as a resource but that fails too.I can login to the actual server and i can map the drive and see the data so i have no idea what i can do now.can the PATH reader see shared drives?I am also using UNC paths.

Hi,after the FME Server 'Express' on linux centos 6.9 installation we have this output messages: Setting up Database...cp: cannot stat '/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf': No such file or directory sed: can't read /etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf.tmp: No such file or directory.We have check the install.cfg file for verified the installation data and all seems correct. We have forced the start of DB with the scripts but the output is:./startDatabaseServer.sh LOG: skipping missing configuration file "/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data/postgresql.auto.conf" pg_ctl: directory "/etl/fmeserver/Utilities/pgsql/data" is not a database cluster directory We have any suggestions?

I'd like to publish a user account of an FME Server under my management, in order to allow some clients (Desktop users) to try FME Server quickly even without signing up either FME Server Trial or FME Cloud. However, I don't want to allow them to change password by themselves. Is it possible?

Currently, we noticed that the scheduled job in FME Server is consuming an extra FME license. This happens when the FME Script contains an FMEJobSubmitter. We can see that another fme.exe process is available in the Windows Task Manager aside from the other 4 allotted for the FME Engines. This should not happen.

Hi I have workbenches saved where I connected to Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service however now they don't work and they used to. I suspect it is a proxy issue which is stopping me connecting but this is an existing link that no longer works for me. https://maps.npdc.govt.nz/arcgis/rest/services/viewer/utilities/MapServer.

Hi There are 4 sevices on FME Server - FME Server Application Server, Core, Database, Engines. Is there any required order of services running, e. g. when the whole machine is restarting?

Hi,I'm new to the Docker world and trying to get an understanding of how things work. I've downloaded a couple of the Docker compose files for FME Server and have done some initial playing around with them using the Docker for Windows platform. From my observations to date, all data is lost if the Docker instance is shut down using the docker-compose down -v command, so an FME Server backup should be performed prior to shutdown.According to information given in this post, it is recommended to leave the Docker container running and let Docker itself manage bringing the FME Server instance up/down if the host machine is rebooted. This will preserve configuration changes, so all good so far, just don't shut down the container!What happens if the host machine crashes? I assume that Docker will not be able to shut down cleanly and all FME Server configuration information will be lost? To this end, I was hoping to set up a scheduled backup on FME Server but the compose file provi

Hi,We upgraded from 2015 Server to 2017 on our test server. Desktop picks up the ArcMap 10.5.1 license. I can open ArcMap on the machine.But FME Server 2017 does not recognise the license. I test with a simple write to a local file geodatabase and I get the following below.Any ideas how to get Server 2017 to recognise the ArcMap license?Thanks,AnnetteWriter `GEODATABASE_FILE_1' of type `GEODATABASE_FILE' using group definition keyword `GEODATABASE_FILE_1_DEF' FME API version of module 'GEODATABASE_FILE' matches current internal version (3.8 20170315) The ArcObjects license 'Basic' is being selected from the Windows registry The Esri Product license used by this machine does not include licenses for the 'Basic' licensing level Unable to perform licensing related tasks.

See: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-10395We need to update the Safe License server which you currently only provide up to version 11.13.

I have installed both ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine to the same machine where I work with FME Desktop. I want FME to only use my ArcGIS Engine due to licensing constraints -- how can I do this?

What is the optimal number of FME Engines? Should I use multiple machines?

With RHEL and CentOS beeing supported platforms it should work, because it is 100% compatible with RHEL.But has anyone tried this in real life or is there a statement from @FMELizard? ;)

Hi FME-Users and -Experts!I am creating a custom WebApplication for my co-workers to use some workbenches on their own with FME Server instead of asking me all the time. So far it works quite well. The site can load the parameters of a workbench automatically. I can even submit a job and retrieve the results as a download-link. But: Every now and then the upload-function stucks. On the server I can see that the specific folder is created (System/temp/upload/<repository-name>/<workspace-name>/<session>), but the content is empty. After some minutes the session-folder is deleted. Furthermore the parameters are not completey loaded. The default values are missing. When using the plain example from FME Server Playground (Upload File In Session) and just replace the server, token, repository and workspace it works. suspect my modified JavaScript has a bug, but I can not find it, nor do I know what to look for.Any suggestions?!FME Server 2016.1.0.1 - Build 16494 - win64 Web

Hello, I'm a newbie here so I hope someone can help me out.I have a basic work space where I extract data out of an Oracle DB and write it out to an MS Access DB and compact on completion.This is to be run by a scheduled task on a server calling a batch file which has the command line prompt for calling my FME workspace.I wish to use 64 bit FME to do this transformation but upon completing the transformation successfully it gives an error saying compacting of database is not available in 64 bit.The result being a Access DB with all the data but not compacted.Thanks in advance for any help.

I am running FME 20170331 - Build 17280 - Win64, with ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 and ArcGIS Pro 1.4 in the background.For ArcGIS Desktop I also installed the Background Geoprocessing extension to enable a 64-bit Python with arcpy. For ArcGIS Desktop, that's of course always for Python 2.7. ArcGIS Pro comes with Python 3.5 and is a 64-bit system.When I ran my workbench with four little Python scripts, whereof not a single one is calling arcpy, gp or something related to ESRI Python modules, only standard modules are used, then I got a Python error: File "c:\\apps\\arcgis\\desktop10.5\\arcpy\\arcpy\\geoprocessing\\_base.py", line 14, in <module> import arcgisscripting ImportError: No module named arcgisscriptingI set my Pythonpath to the bin64 folder of the desktop10.5 installation, referencing the 64-bit geoprocessing tools, and adjusted the Python interpreter in FME to 'Esri ArcGIS Desktop Python(2.7)'I ran the workbench and got the same error messageI adjusted the

Our FME Server fsconfig backup file is 15Gb. It is a 2015 server that we plan to upgrade to version 2017 and then clean up the legacy workspaces that we inherited from another team.But with a back up of 15Gb I expect problems when I read that other users on the forum had problems with a 3Gb backup file.What is the easiest way of determining what is contributing to the large backup file size so we can clean the biggest offending workspaces etc.Thanks in advance,Annette

I am trying to modify the docker-compose file available here to work on a Docker Swarm but I end up with an FME Server core that does not see my engines. My modifications to the docker-compose file included updating the version to 3 and removing the networking information. If I run the compose file with the networks attributes I received errors about them being out of scope of the swarm. Any hints?

It has been awhile - but will be getting a new machine and will need to reinstall fme. In previous versions I was able to identify the path to our floating license server, but cannot figure out how to do this in my current version. I am running 2016.0.1.2(20160318 - Build 16178 - win64). Where can I go to identify or reset our floating license server?

Currently the license code is hosting 2 engines and server edition. I need to increase 3 more engines to the existing license code. Could anyone guide me on the procedure to add more engines to the existing license code?

I have a FME workspace which converts spatial data from an Oracle database to XML using a XMLTemplator and a XML Validator. With an input of 80.000 features, FME stops in the XMLTemplator with the following error:unable to realloc 447475646 bytes. Error running translation.With smaller selections (a few thousand), the workspace works fine. We suspect that due to working in a Citrix Evironment (with Windows 10.1) FME_TEMP should probably be redirected to another drive instead of C:\\ to get enough memory space. How can we change the FME_TEMP variable in Citrix?  Or does someone know other possible solutions we could try?

Hi,The last time I tried connecting a floating license from one of the FME license servers from an Amazon EC2 instance, I couldn't connect.Any idea that leads to connecting a floating license from EC2 will be much appreciated. Thanks.
