We just upgraded our on-prem Flow (from 2023.2 to 2024.2.2) and are now are dead in the water --all scheduled workbenches will not run, but seem to be valid --after restoring from the backup (I even tried reinstalling the successfull backup again, but it failed on the second try).  I then tried re-uploading the workbenches to the new Flow version from the Form workbenches (both old and new versions) but can not access the repositories to save them there to re-schedule them in the new Flow.  Yikes. Help. Please.

Have you also checked:

why the localhost address? has your IT department made a DNS change based on the new machineIDs that you are restoring the back to

licensing https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Flow/AdminGuide/Request_and_Install_a_License-Web-UI.htm 

is your FME engine distributed on another machine? compared to the Flow components for the UI, database etc?

after making changes, run a workspace from the sample repository that comes with the install, not the restored backup
