FME-Server and FME-Desktop on the same machine?

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

Migrating data from One geodatabase to another Azure SQL geodatabase

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

New license server in Citrix environment

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.

Influence migrating to Oracle 19c on existing FME scripts

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

FME Server restore from file fails with no error message

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?

License borrowing on different network

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?

Set the shared resource folders during silent installation ?.

Hello, If I do a silent (command-line) installation of FME would it be possible to set the shared resource folder as well? I don't see a flag for it in the documentation. https://krogerfeedback.nl https://talktosonic.onl https://talktowendys.vip https://whataburgersurvey.onlSame question applies to some of the other FME options (database connections file, network proxy settings). If those could be set during a silent install it would make it easier for IT staff to run them more frequently. thanksjackyjoy

Reserve licenses for certain workflows?

Not sure if it is possible but feel I can't be the only person with this question. I have a standard FME Pro install with 8 worker license. Is it possible to reserve a couple of licenses so they will always be available for certain workflows that run as a cron jobs? I basically don't want my cron tasks getting held up because other users run processes that occupy all 8 workers.

Required FME 2020 Desktop & Server bit version for GE Smallworld Reader/Writer

We are migrating from FME Desktop 2014 (32-bit) and FME Server 2015 (32-bit) to FME 2020.We have our old sworldswaf.dll and sworldswaf.fmf files for Smallworld 4.3 and know we should simply copy those files into FME 2020 directories as in our FME 2014/2015. Now the question is whether we should stick to FME 32-bit or we can go and install FME 64-bit (or FME Destkop 32-bit and Server 64-bit with 64-bit engines) and keep using our old GE Smallworld files without problems.I read the documentation here but want to make sure we can't install 64-bit version of FME Server.

How to capture the user running Server App's?

So I have built a basic server app that allows users to log in and run a workspace. Using the 'Require Authentication' option in the app. Created a user account and user is able to execute process.But I'm having trouble capturing the user name as part of the routine to write to a history table. In my Desktop workbench, I'm using a Published Parameter defaulting to:$(FME_SECURITY_USER)In the Server workspace, I'm not showing that particular parameter so that it can't be changed to something else. When I run it myself while logged in as 'admin', that's what gets logged. But when I have user "johnsmith" running it as, it logs NULL.  Am I missing something else? Also is there any way to leverage AD Authentication if you don't want to set up a bunch of users and require them to log in to run the app?Thanks.

NVIDIA Graphics and FME opening issue

@rahulsharma​ and I just troubleshoot FME Workbench not opening on a Windows 10 machine that has an NVIDIA graphics card. There were no warnings or anything when trying to get the program to open. The mouse would spin for a second and that was about it. After a lot of trial and error, we found that changing in the NVIDIA Control Panel from "High Performance" graphics to "Integrated graphics", FME opened right up without issue. Hope this helps! Make sure to add each application (even do it for the Help to actually open). If you know of a better way, I'm all ears.

I have noticed that FME Desktop startup is very slow when using VPN. It can take 2-3 minutes just to start FME, without loading a workspace. When not using VPN, it takes about 5 seconds to start FME.

The same problem occurs when starting a workspace. When using VPN, it can take 1-2 minutes just to start the workspace. Without VPN, it´s instantaneous. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I use Windows 10, 64 bit, FME 2020.0 using SCCM, fixed license.
