How do I encrypt passwords in FME Server configuration files? Specifically, I want to encrypt the PFX file password used to setup HTTPS for FME Server. I've seen that there's a parameter in fmeServerConfig.txt for ENABLE_PUBLISHED_PARAMETER_ENCRYPTION. How would I generate encrypted passwords to store in the config file, and would setting this parameter to TRUE then decrypt them and let FME server run properly?

This article only goes up to FME 2022, which did support Windows Server 2012. Is that still the case for FME23?

Dear all,I've a problem of authentication on fmeserver when I configure some details in the User Management > Directory Servers. Our Active Directory as 9 servers behind a load balancer with a dns alias. I've tried some configuration and only the worst works as desired. Here there are my tests: 1) desired solution:host with DNSalternate servers ipResult: SSO login works, but API token request and user/pass login don't work 2) mixed solution:host with one ip of the 9 in listalternate servers ipResult: SSO login and API token request work, but user/pass login doesn't work 3) worst solution:host with one ip of the 9 in listno alternate servers ip specifiedResult: SSO login API token and user/pass login work There is a solution to have the first configuration working as the third? Thanks

Hello am running my FME workbench on one of my colleagues system with FME trial version (without ArcGIS) and I have full FME 2022.2 version(ArcGIS installed on system).   Getting this error : Parameter file was ..... any workaround that FME workbench to run without ArcGIS.  

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!

My analysis is caused by the database not being linked，and there are some logs for the database

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

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 CompatibilityProgram TerminatingTranslation FAILED. I have a ArcGIS Server Standard licensed in this machine and Arcgis Desktop (arcmap) Basic too. I can´t to understand wha

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

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.  C:\\Program Files\\FME 2022.2.2>fme.exe python -m pip install cron-descriptor --target C:\\Users\\as302\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\PythonERROR : This workspace requires a Python 2.7 interpreter, but FME has removed Python 2.7 support starting with FME 2022.0.

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. RegardsStefan

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.
