Where is the End of Support life (roadmap) information posted - We are running FME Server 2014 SP2

If I do a silent (command-line) installation of FME would it be possible to set the shared resource folder as well? I don't see a flag for it in the documentation. Same question applies to some of the other FME options (database connections file, network proxy settings). If those could be set during a silent install it would make it easier for IT staff to run them more frequently.

Hi We are attempting to activate a trail licence of FME Server 2016.1. The following happens: Is there a url/port that we might be blocking to activate this? Thanks

Small detail, but still annoying: in the PDF-version of the Advanced FME-course you'll find a table of contents that refers to paragraphs. However on the main pages you'll find the page numbers but no paragraphs

What options are there available for have a Test instance of FME running in a Test environment that replicates production?

We have the need to determine OS on which FME destop session is running, such as Windows or Linux/Mac. For lack of an elegant solution, we get the application path from FME_HOME / FME_HOME_UNIX to make the "assumption". I would appreciate if someone can share better alternatives.

For the new FME Server 2016.1, is there a way to automate the licensing/uploading of a license file at installation time? Scenario (Windows 2012 R2 DC): Installing FME Server via silent installation still means that you have to login to FMEServer to setup the licensing. Is there a way to do this at installation time by either supplying an option or by placing a license file somewhere on the file system(restart of fme services required)? How does the licensing work if you have the possibility of trashing your environment and rebuilding regularly? Do we need to revoke the license or can we just re-use the license over again? Thanks, Dan.

If I have X number of jobs queued in FME Server (e.g. maybe there is a licensing error, or engines crashed), when I restart FME Server will all the jobs still be in the queue so that I can successfully process them?

Hi I have a WB controller and another WB runner. The controller send some parameters to the runner (defined in the runner as published params.) via FMESJS. However when run on the server, some params are not passed, like the MINX, MIXY, MAXX, MAXY and/or EFFECTIVE_DATE. They are generated as attributes before the jobsubmitter and I can see them OK in data inspector. What might the problem be? Thanks

FME Server 2016.1 For an on-demand data download service application with FME Server, I'm looking for a way to configure a download zip file name using a published parameter (requestor can set the value) and the Job ID etc. A possible way I found so far is: Publish the destination dataset parameter of the main workspace as a published user parameter. Create another workspace (say 'submitter') containing an FMEServerJobSubmitter which call the main workspace by passing the required destination zip file path. Run the 'submitter' as a Job Submitter Service. The destination zip file path can be created using the <results-dirpath>, FME_JOB_ID parameter, and a published user parameter of the 'submitter'. The <results-dirpath> is defined in the "fmeEngineConfig.txt" as the "FME_WORKING_DIR" directive. It works as expected, but the <results-dirpath> has to be written in the 'submitter' as a full path, and it's a little annoying :( My questions are: Is there a way to retrieve the value of the "

When I try and run the install msi file to upgrade my existing FME Server to 2016.1, I get this error: 'the system cannot open the device or file specified' I have downloaded the install file again but get the same error. I am trying to install on a Windows Server 2008 machine. Any Ideas?

Hi I have a controller WB ans 5 runners running on fme server. Controller passes params to runnrs unis FMEServerJobSubmitter. Looing at the servers completed jobs I see 1.4 MILLION finished jobs - all of them runners. This is in the last 24 hours - the very last page is still in the last 24 hours. See the image for info. 1st page last page Only explainaition I hgave is the server creates a job for every feature processed, rather than for every WB. Why is that?

I recently installed 2016 64-bit FME. I had previously been running 2015 32-bit. I was a bit leery about going to 64-bit as I primarily write out to Esri formats, but after doing quite a bit of research I verified the readers/writers I use will work with 64-bit. That said, 2016 64-bit did work. I tested it on a workflow that pulls data from 16 feature types, writes out 6 feature classes into our SDE environment (72,163 total features), and contains 128 transformers. It took 10 min 19.5 sec, and the peak process memory usage was 1,319,888 kB. The problem is that I also ran it in FME 2015 32-bit and it took 8 min 37.3 sec and the peak process memory usage was 1,095,360. As another test, I installed FME 2016 32-bit. This process took 9 minutes 34.6 seconds and the peak process memory usage was 1,088,980 kB. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the 64-bit version took quite a bit longer to run? Also, why might 2016 be slower than 2015? This really seems counter intuitive. Thank you for

I have found many articles about this issue. But I am looking for the link to download the required DLL's to use FME 64 bits with the SDE writer. And up to now I have not been able to locate the set of DLL's. Can anybody point me to the right download site? ArcGis 10.2.1 is installed. Thanks for any help. Erik Jan

Hi. I need some support for tender assumptions. Is it possible to install two kind of FME Desktop fixed (node-locked) license (e.g Pro and Smallworld) on single machine and use selected license in batch mode of fme.exe process running? I need to control license usage according to two different custom applications which use fme batch processing.

How can I setup SSL on FME Server with this type of configuration.

I am moving my license server software to a new server with the same name as the old one. Do I need to deauthorize my license on the old server first? If so how do I do that? I don't see an option in the LMTOOLS UI.

dbCursor.execute("""INSERT INTO FME_LOG(NAME, RUN_DATE) VALUES ('eee', datetime.datetime.now())""") is not working.

I am facing an issue in licensing FME Server. I wana know that whether the licensed file is .txt or like fme work bench license file .fmelic ?

I upgraded from v2015 to v2016 today, and I have noticed that a user parameter that is derived from another user parameter is not upgraded properly. In the attached Workspace, I am creating a SiteName parameter based on the input filename. And I also create a SiteNameGDB parameter for the output filename, based on the SiteName parameter. Unfortunately, when opening this workspace - which worked fine in v2015.0 - in v2016, it has replaced the expression $(SiteNameGDB) with the literal string "__SiteNameGDB_" Is this a bug?

My FME floating licence is installed on Windows2008 R2 Standard server. IT would like to upgrade the server to Windows2008 R2 Enterprise version. Would FME licence still works after changing the server to Enterprise version?

Hi, I would like to connect to FME Server PostgreSQL database repository throught pgAdmin. I could not succeed in making a connection. Is there any configuration changes required before being able to connect? Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Is it possible to export the FME Server schedule? I have looked through multiple FME Server folders, but have not found a file with the schedule. Adding such a feature could be beneficial. Thanks.
