We have several memory intensive workspaces that normally return log file entries like:

INFORM|ResourceManager: Optimizing Memory Usage. Please wait…

Recently our IT department was sourced to a MSP, and it seems many security settings have changed. Now when FME tries to ‘optimize memory usage’, we receive Windows warnings similar to the screen shot below for ArcGISIndexingServer.exe and FNPLicensingService.exe. There does not seem to be any adverse effects in FME otherwise.

Should we be concerned with these warnings? Will the memory available to FME be lower since access is being blocked? What can I ask the MSP to fix if it is an issue?

 

ArcGISIndexingServer.exe  is part of ArcGIS Pro and is a background task

FNPLicensingService.exe looks to be part of FlexNet which is what FME uses for licensing.

 

What I’d look to ask your MSP is to allow FME.exe read/write access to your local machine. If that gets too much push back, allow it access to a defined FME_TEMP location. This location is used to store temporary files to augment what is stored in memory.
