Hi, we are silent installing FME Flow for the first time. We used to install FME Server using a silent install script, which uses the next installation properties:

FMESERVERHOSTNAME
INSTALLDIR
FMESERVERSHAREDDATA
PGDATA
WEBSERVERHOSTNAME
SERVLETPORT
DATABASEPASSWORD

In the new FME Flow silent install instructions, a different set of installation properties is used. I think the properties above compare to 

COREHOSTNAME (changed)
INSTALLDIR (unchanged)
FMEFLOWSHAREDDATA (changed)
PGDATA (unchanged)
EXTERNALHOSTNAME (changed)
SERVLETPORT (unchanged)
DATABASEPASSWORD (unchanged).

My questions:

  • Can this be confirmed? 
  • Would it be possible to get a link to the location where this is documented?

Hi ​@helmoetz,

We do not have a direct comparison chart available, but you can view old documentation to manually compare the two. Here is how you do it:

2023.0 or Newer: 

https://docs.safe.com/fme/<FME VERSION>/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Silent-Install-Windows.htm

Older than 2023.0:

https://docs.safe.com/fme/<FME VERSION>/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Silent-Install-Windows.htm

 

Replace <FME VERSION> with the version you are looking for. If you were looking for a Linux version, you can access it from the side tab from the documentation link.

Cheers,

Thanks ​@damiobasa I was just wondering if there is a complete list comparing the FMEFlow install properties to the old FMEServer install properties…
