Is there any guidance on installing FME in AWS? The same question (https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hH8aSAE/installing-fme-server-on-aws) was asked 2 years ago but wasn't answered. Kubernetes and FME Cloud are not options I can use unfortunately. I would like to use ephemeral machines that can scale with demand and be auto-replaced if they become unhealthy. I'd also like to simply replace the servers using newer versions of the AMI when OS patches or FME updates are released (I don't want long running servers that I have to nurse and treat as pets). I would like separate auto scaling groups for the engines so I can spin up as many as I want when they're needed and don't have to run more powerful (and expensive) servers when their not required. I might potentially have multiple queues for different types of

I found in the documentation that the recommended destination for installed custom python packages is: Windows: C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python How would I make the packages available to all users of the computer? Help page: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/Workbench/Installing-Python-Packages.htm Best regards,Stefan

I have a URL being sent through emailer and everything seems to be working fine until the email comes in. The URL is there except its missing a few characters. Any Ideas why?

Hi,FME's background maps are not showing up when I'm on my company's VPN.I've tested a few ones (STATMEN, ESRI, MaoBox). They all work fine without VPN, but they don't (or sometimes they will for a very short period of time) when I'm connected with VPN. The fun part : I've tested the same maps with QGIS and ArcGIS Pro and they work flawlessly. Anybody ever face that problem ? Thanks Phil

The FME Server license doesn't recognize the current machine because it is limited to one or more specific machines.Use FME Sever on a machine for which it is licensed. Kindly assist us same.

Does the FME Desktop Professional Edition License Server log usage?

Background maps has stopped working - this link: https://api.dataforsyningen.dk/orto_foraar_wmts_DAF?service=WMTS&request=GetCapabilities&token=dcfd5bb56caa13f5f4fcef0b65c45f8eworks in other applications (QGIS 3.16) and used to work flawlessly in FME. Upon updating it has stopped working as a background map, but seems to work as intended in FeatureReader. What happened to background maps? And what can I do to fix it?  FME Desktop 2021.1.3.0 21631

---------------------------Have Installed the FMESERVER 2013. FME SERVER and application service is running fine. I have also placeed the safe.lic in the flexserver path. When I try to run the FME license server in windows service, I get the below error. Please help Services---------------------------Windows could not start the FME License Server service on Local Computer.   Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. 

We are using Tomcat, installed by itself, on the FME server on port 80. DB server is a separate Oracle Server. I need to move the web service to Tomcat on a different server, to port 80. In the documentation, it says to 1) modify the web server url in fmeserverconfig.txt, then 2) edit the services in the web interface.  I assume step 2 should be a step 3, and step 2 would be to start up Tomcat, Core, Server, DB, on the servers, allowing the war files to build, correct? Thanks for any help. Moving the Web Applications Server to Another Machine (safe.com)

We recently upgraded FME Desktop (and also FME Server) from 2021.0.2.0 (b21321) to FME 2021.2.2.0 (b21806).  In the past it seemed that the floating licence settings would only have to be configured once (the first time opening FME Desktop), but now users are confronted with a (floating) licence activation screen every 2-3 days or so. It's manageble, but a bit of a nuisance for our FME Desktop users. Has something changed on this front? And if so, is there an option to make sure that the (floating) licences configuration is stored for a longer period of time? Kind regards, Thijs    

I remember that the number of processes in parallel processing had been determined by "Parallel Processing Level" and the number of CPU cores, in the old days. The attached screenshot is from FME 2017 Help.However, I cannot find the table above anywhere in the documentations for the current version of FME.The table above can be applied to parallel processing with a custom transformer in the current version?

I want to install FME Server 2021.2.2 on CentOS 7.9 offline. When I run the installer, after answering all the questions and waiting 5 minutes, i get an error saying : "no package postgresql11-server available". I tried to install the rpm of postgresql11-server, postgresql11 and postgresql11-lib but now i have a second error, more instantany, saying "Postgres is already installed on this system. If you would like to use the existing Postgres with FME Server, see https://docs.safe.com/fme2021.2/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Configure-FME-Server-Database-on-Separate_Server-2-Tier.htmOtherwise please uninstall postgres and rerun this installation".  Could you please help me to resolve this problem ? 

In FME Workbench I have a MS SQLServer database that has multiple schemas.Schema1.Schema2.TablenameWorkbench sees the tables in the Reader setup but I get the following error when I try to apply the Reader.JDBC Reader: Error reading schema for table 'DataBank.AccountsPayable.Invoices'. Error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'DataBank.AccountsPayable.Invoices' I am on Mac Monterey but VS Code can read the data in the tables.

We have FME-Desktop and FME-Server installed on two separate machines.An external office is helping us setting up FME-Server and transferring our workbenches to the server.Our informatics department is very strict with granting access to servers and it's only possible for them to access to the server on which FME-Server is installed with a two step identification (SMS-Code).They can access to the server with FME-Desktop as well, but they cannot upload FME-Workbenches to the server, as they cannot establish a connection between the two servers. Our plan is now to install FME-Desktop on the same machine as FME-Server. Are there any arguments against this or can it be done without problems?Thanks, Vera 

Is there something like PropertyIsWithin instead of PropertieIsEqualTo.I have created the list with possible values with: ListBuilder / ListDuplicateRemover.

License Manager - Wondering if FlexLM 11.15 on Windows 2019 is supported as we are planning to upgrade the FME License Server from Windows 2012 R2. Thanks!

I've migrated the data for one table from SQL Server geodatabase to another Azure SQL geodatabase using only Reader & Writer. I was able to write successfully but when the actual workflow for dataload ran on schedule in Azure SQL Geodb, I get this error and so far no workarounds found. Not sure why we're getting 'Violation of Primary key error on OBJECTID' as it supposed to insert new features with new OBJECTID. Also trying to reach ESRI support for how to handle this issue. Please suggest any solutions/workarounds for this issue. Thanks

Asking on behalf of a customer: they have a floating license in a Citrix environment and want to move FlexLM to a new license server. When they've done that is there a way to automatically update the license server name on all the clients? Registry key perhaps? FME Desktop is installed within an Applayer in Citrix and they want to avoid having to change that.

Hello,  Our current database is running on Oracle 11, and we are planning to migrate it to Oracle 19c towards the end of the year. We use the database in daily FME workflows (mainly in queries). We are wondering whether the migration will have an impact on our FME scripts. Are there risks that we should be aware of for the current used FME scripts?  Thank you Ella 

When attempting to restore FME Server from a downloaded fsconfig file, with or without "Overwrite Existing Items" selected, the restore fails with no message. When doing the restore with the backup data stored in a resource location, the restore is successful. However, this isn't an option as we are doing the backup/restore process to upgrade FME Server in place, and the uninstall process could possibly delete the backup file. Is there anything we could be doing wrong?

I have FME Desktop licensed on an air-gapped server but covid has changed my working patterns; so, for the 2 or 3 days I work from home I don't have access to my favourite software. Is there any way to borrow a license from my air-gapped server for use on a different network?

Hi, do you know if there is any incompatibility between FME Desktop and ArcGIS licence server and ArcFM licence server?
