ERROR : Error migrating key storage from jceks file fme_publicKey.jceks

Hi!New to FME and just installed FME Forms on two different machines. One Windows PC - no problem.The other machine, an Apple Macbook Air M1 gave me some trouble.I've installed the version 2023.0.0.1 for Apple Silicon. After starting it and requesting a trial license, the logs give me the following errors: ERROR : Error migrating key storage from jceks file /Users/sverker/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/fme_publicKey.jceks Error while migrating public encryption key file Unable to read from file '/Users/sverker/Library/Caches/Safe Software/FME/fme_publicKey.fmeks', No such file or directory (Code 2) I can't see any Transformers in the FME Hub and I when I go into preferences and the "FME Packages" submenu (or some of the other submenus) I get:I've tried the full removal and reinstall, but the problem persists. I tried giving the FME Workbench application the Full Disk Access permission.Thankful for any help!

I’m using FME Server v2021.2.6. It’s currently licensed for 1 engine. Our customer has asked us to add an additional engine. I'm not sure if this will work as the 2nd license provided by our customer was procured from a different vendor to license 1.

Hi Support, I’m using FME Server v2021.2.6. It’s currently licensed for 1 engine. Our customer has asked us to add an additional engine. This sounds simple enough, however, the license key provided by our customer, for the 2nd engine, was procured from a different license vendor to the license procured for the first engine. Before I apply the 2nd license, I would like to clarify the following: Will the new license overwrite the existing license or can 2 different licenses be applied concurrently? If 1) is possible:Do I need to install a 2nd FME Engine component (i.e. run the FME Server Installer and select FME Engine only)? Or can I just simply upload the license file via the Web App (via System Configuration > Licensing > Upload License File) then increment the number of engines (via Engine Management > Engines)? Other than 2 different licenses potentially having 2 different expiry dates, are there other implications that may need to be considered? We are running 1x FME Serve

Run arcpy scripts in FME DESKTOP 2021.1.0.1

Hi, I´m trying to execute a Workspace in FME 32 bits, my workspace have some scripts arcpy from Arcmap 32 bits. I´m getting this message in my workspace: ERROR : A compatible ArcGIS application could not be found or is not licensed for Python Compatibility 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7'The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 2.7', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Server.

Some characters in the password for FME Server Database seems to make installation unusable.

When installing FME Server 2022.2.5 b22795, i used the character '¤' in the PostgreSQL database password. The password was accepted and the installation finished without warnings or errors. Then, none of the FME Services would start. When looking for the configuration files, I noticed that server.xml was missing. I copied it from another installation wich made the FME Server Application Server start. The FME Server database service would not start still. After some troubleshooting, I decided to reinstall. When asked again for the password, for some reason, I used another password without the '¤' sign. After the installation, all services started up and the server.xml file was where it's supposed to be. I have repeated the procedure on a different machine with the same result. My guess is that the '¤' sign is approved by the FME installation program but not accepted by the database. I don't understand why the server.xml file was missing though.For english

Run FME server as service

Hello,We install a second server FME to update the version. When this version will be ok, we will stop the old server. All is ok if we run the new server manually but it doesn't work when we want to run fmeserver like a service. 5 services is ok but the fmeserver-database.service doesnt work. Have you an idea?

To that extent is it possible to automate deployment with ansible or chef. So far barely a mention about it on the internet. What does Safe Software recommend?

A question coming from an organisation with many machines installed with FME servers (40+). Next to the installation we also require a lot of time in configuration for the FME server deployments. We would like to automate deployment and configuration in the near future. We have found Ansible and Chef and also Kubernetes. With kubernetes we have succesfully deployed FME server on premise. The only major issue is the esri dependency of Arcpy scripts and SDE databases. Therefore we are looking for Ansible as a serious candidate for automation. We would like to automate as much as possible, not only because it saves times, but also to make sure all the machines are perfectly similarily deployed. Any tips or recommendations from other users/Safe software? Thanks in advance.

General way of working with a FME Server deployment on Docker

I'm very new to the concept of deploying things within a Docker environment. As far as I know, FME Server works perfectly fine with this but what about the interaction with FME Server after it´s up and running. Are you as a workspace author just uploading your workspaces like you do on a normal FME Server on a regular Windows plattform? Same with FME Projects? My second question is if there is a way to use Docker and Jenkins to install FME Projects instead of the normal way through FME Server Gui import/export. RegardsStefan

Use of fmeobjects (python)

I have a workflow which calls Workspaces from a python script (Python 3.7.2 running in Spyder). Because of an issue/bug I encountered, I was advised to install the newest version of FME and see if the problem persists. Now I cannot get my scripts to work again. This works:sys.path.append("C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeobjects\\python37") import fmeobjects (...) runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner() (...)runner.runWithParameters(ws, parameters) (...) This doesn't:sys.path.append("C:\\Program Files\\FME2022_2_3\\fmeobjects\\python37") import fmeobjects (...) runner = fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner() (...)runner.runWithParameters(ws, parameters) All I did was change the path from the old installation to the new one.It fails, saying the module is not found File "c:/data/data.py", line 24, in <module> import fmeobjects ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

did you ever lose deported engines from core server ?

Hello ! We have 1 core server and 2 engines servers in 3 differents VLANs, all needed ports are open and tested but without an application job, the core server loses the engines independently after 2 hours maximum. We need to suppress the engines in the hosts section and to re-add it to restore the engine. We worked around network questions, we opened all ports for tests, around systems (applicative services still running), we tried to modify the fmeEngineConfig.tx but no way. Could you please help us ? (french systems)Thank you !

Workspace Reader

I have a couple of reasonably complex workspace that I have used the Worskpace reader to extract some data from. I have attached the image below to show where I am currently at. I have all the data but my question is "WHAT NOW", how do I use this data to it's best, and to explain what is going on in the workspace to the average person so it is understandable, and out put in a user friendly format. I thought someone may have some examples of what they did and how they used their data as documentation. I have watched the Video from tensing which was good but it really doesn't explain the how and final documents very well. Thank You.
