Set shared resource folders during silent installation

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.

finding topics in PDF-version of FME documentation

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

Identify fme desktop session's os

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.

Automatically upload license file

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.

Will all submitted Jobs remain in queue if I restart FME Server?

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?

Workbench wont send parametrs to a runner via FMEServerSubmitter

HiI 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

Configure Download Zip Filename with User Parameter Value etc.

FME Server 2016.1For 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

2016 64-bit version slower than 2015 32-bit

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

Upgrade to 2016 - bug in user parameters?

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?
