Architecture

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 Server Instan

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. If ArcGIS is not required by this workspace, then update Python Compatibility to a non-Esri-ArcGIS Python. Otherwise, please install the required ArcGIS product, or if ArcGIS Pro already installed, install 64-bit FME and update Python Compatibility to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.7'. To update this setting, go to: Navigator -> Workspace Parameters -> Scripting -> Python Compatibility Program Terminating Translation FAILED. I have a ArcGIS Server Standard licensed in this machine and Arcgis Desktop (arcmap) Basic too. I can´t to understand what I can did wrong... Before it

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/american users, this might be

I tried to install a python package in cmd, windows 10, but got error "This workspace requires a Python 2.7 interpreter". How do I make it use python 3.* instead? The same command worked for my colleague so something is wrong in my program setup. I have python 3 installed also.

Hello all, When will FME (server and desktop) be supported on the new Ubuntu LTS release 22.04? Thanks for your interest, Martin

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? Thanks

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.

Need to install arcgis pro 2.9.5 on the FME servers so FME has access to ESRI projection engine. How I can proceed there is any documentation that what are the prerequisite and how to install.

I need to perform FME server (2022) silent installation in EC2 machine, do I need to create response file or there is any script that we can directly execute using cmd.

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. Regards Stefan

Hi, I am struggling with install of FME desktop.... This is the detail from the event log. Machine is windows server 2019. Faulting application name: fmeworkbench.exe, version: 2022.7.45.22789, time stamp: 0x63d9e992 Faulting module name: Qt6WebEngineCore_fme.dll, version: 6.2.4.0, time stamp: 0x625ef5dc Exception code: 0x80000003 Fault offset: 0x0000000002645d96 Faulting process id: 0x37bc Faulting application start time: 0x01d950d3b739183b Faulting application path: C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeworkbench.exe Faulting module path: C:\\Program Files\\FME\\Qt6WebEngineCore_fme.dll Report Id: 9d532fef-92d3-429e-b884-fb15a1e27e8a Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: We have successfully installed it on another windows 2019 server and it does run FME is also running successfully with build 22789 in the machine where desktop doesn't work.

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. It seems it actually finds "fmeobjects", but something else is missing. I suspect some underlying env

Info: We 2 server for FME Server and web application:- - FME Server has been installed in server with IP B ( xx.xx.xx.123). port 8080 - Web Application installed in IP A ( xx.xx.xx.456). port 80 The web apps has domain name https://urdomain.com Then, we use proxy so that FME server URL become https://urdomain.com/fmeserver. Problem: During installation, hostname being input as sysadmin with port 8080. After run Workspace, the output can be downloaded via URL shown in figure below. However, remote user cannot access it as it supposely to use http://urdomain.com/fmedatadownload/results/XXXX.zip What have been done: My teammate then change service host from http://sysadmin:8080 to https://urdomain.com/fmeserver which then cause the workspace cannot be run. It cannot be Run as it produce error 404.

I was wondering where I can derive the path name where the user preferences are stored (such as color background white or black for example). I was looking at tools> fme options > default paths, but it seems it's not there. Where can I find it?

Hi eveyrone, I'm trying to setup a 3-tier installation and I can't find the required network ports used by each component. I have a communication error between the engines and the core. Error communicating with FME Server host xxxxx-fme-engine. Contact your FME Server administrator who can investigate the log files for further details. I couldn't find anything useful in the logs http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/ReferenceManual/FME-Server-Ports.htm Thank you

When translate OSGB to Geodabase_file_raster_dateset, it shows: Unable to perform any licensing related tasks.

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 !

Using the instructions, we were unable to use Chrome create the .cer file. We had to use Internet Explorer. In the Verify HTTPS configuration step, localhost produced an insecure connection although using the hostname produced a secure connection. How can this issue be corrected?

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.

I have found specifications for desktop and server machines, but I would like to confirm what specifications are needed for a license server. What are the minimum requirements and suggested requirements? Thank you for your time, Julia

I had an issue in on of my lower environments where the FME Server related services (Application Server, Server Core, Server Database, Server Engines) were stopped and switched to Local System Log On keeping the workbench from being able to access the necessary source data directories. I reconfigured the services to log on using the established service account and am now receiving the following error. "There was an error submitting the job. COM.safe.fmeserver.api.FMEServerException: Could not load all queues due to connection issue to job router. Please try again." Has anybody experienced this and have a solution?

Hi, I have tried this method: https://community.safe.com/s/article/cannot-check-out-floating-license-but-have-borrowe it didn't work. I have been given 2 accounts by my IT. my normal account, with locked license, I can't return the license because everytime I try to open fme desktop it shuts down itself. licenses are available. But, when I try to open fme desktop with my local admin account it opens just fine. BUT in license manager it shows as I am using 2 licenses?
