My workspace is set to python compatibility 3.11 + a custom arcgis python environment, which works perfectly running in form

Running the same workspace on my Remote engine(on the same machine as form) it is using python v3.12 inside the FME install directory, even though I have changed the python variables to point to the correct version and python path using fme APPLY_SETTINGS

 

The settings look correct using fme LIST_SETTINGS + I have restarted all FME services

How do I set the remote engine to use the correct python environment?

Remote engine - FME 2024.2 on windows, on prem
FME Flow 2024.2 - Cloud/hosted

Hi Blade, 

According to Safe Software’s documentation, FME Flow 2024.2 ships with python version 3.12.6 which would explain this issue. Please note that for FME Flow 2018.1 and later, the steps to change the python interpreter as specified in this documentation are as follows: 

<FMEFlowDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Use Custom Python 64" true

<FMEFlowDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Python Interpreter 64" c:/<path_to_dll>.dll

<FMEFlowDir>Server/fme/fme.exe APPLY_SETTINGS SYSTEM "Python/Custom Python Home 64" c:/<path_to_python_home>

I hope this helps resolve this issue. However, if this issue persists, Please log a support ticket and your case would be assigned to a specialist who can help troubleshoot this further.
