Architecture

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

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: 0x63d9e992Faulting module name: Qt6WebEngineCore_fme.dll, version: 6.2.4.0, time stamp: 0x625ef5dcException code: 0x80000003Fault offset: 0x0000000002645d96Faulting process id: 0x37bcFaulting application start time: 0x01d950d3b739183bFaulting application path: C:\\Program Files\\FME\\fmeworkbench.exeFaulting module path: C:\\Program Files\\FME\\Qt6WebEngineCore_fme.dllReport Id: 9d532fef-92d3-429e-b884-fb15a1e27e8aFaulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:  We have successfully installed it on another windows 2019 server and it does runFME 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 underl

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 80The web apps has domain name https://urdomain.comThen, 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

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-borroweit 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?

I understand that the license server will check the licenses back in if it loses contact with the client, but will the client continue to function with its already checked-out license, or having lost the connection to the license server does it stop working until it has a valid connection to the license server again?

As usual, when a new version is released, I download both desktop, server, and engine, just in case.One thing puzzles me though: Why is the engine download so big (3.9g) ?It's 600Mb bigger than the full server (3.3g), and more than 2Gb larger than desktop (1.7g), which I would assume should be very similar in content to engine.What is the extra 2Gb of dead weight in the engine download ?Cheers.

I would like to install the transformer AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector o a shared folder instead of an user profiel. That way the transformer can be used by all employees without having to install it in every profile. As we work in Citrix the package is not installed completely and needs to be finished manually for each profile.

We want to set up our Flex licensing server using a CNAME instead of a server name. When submitting the license request do we just enter the full CNAME of the machine in the hostid field of the form? e.g. lic.prd.companyname.nl Will this work via the submission form? Thanks,Annette  

We can only do one software upgrade a year because of restrictions from our IT department. Would be good to know if if we can wait for that and benefit from some bug fixes or just have to go with 2022.1

At the moment we are dealing with not enough licenses, part of the problem is naturally to buy new licenses, however sometimes users have their FME workbench session open for a long time, while they are not doing anything at all in the FME workbench. So I think it would partly solve the problem of not enough licenses, if inactive FMe desktop workbenches are closed down after a certain duration. Is something like that possible to configure for the users of FME desktop. It would be nice, if the changes made are saved automatically and no changes made are lost.

At our organization, we don't have enough licenses at the moment. Naturally, part of the solution is to buy new licenses, however it would also be nice to implement something that certain users get priority in getting a FME desktop license over other users. I was looking at the following link https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm. I see it's possible to reserve for certain groups, however instead of reserving, I would like to do priotising. Is it possible to configure something like that.  

Hi all, We are planning our 2022 Server upgrade and it is the first time I have have done it with a parallel machine where we want to retain the original same server CNAME. We are also using IIS as our webserver with a URL rewrite. The machine is only internally available and is hosted in Azure. Our current proposed steps are to: 1. Install existing certificate on new Azure server2. Install FME Server3. Test basic server installation using localhost on the server itself4. Configure FME Server for IIS via URL rewrite based on CNAME5. Test ALL workspaces - access FME Server application via client with modified lmhosts6. DNS switch - turn off old server, turn on new server The new machine will be placed in the same Azure subnet so all existing firewall rules and whitelisting with apply to the new machine. Does anyone forsee any issuses with this approach? 

Has anyone tried do configure a FlexLM manager on a Kubernetes environment? Can someone inform me whether it is possible or not? If yes, what should I should watch out for?
