We are currently running FME Server 2022.2. on prem (not cloud hosted). We had been planning on upgrading to the latest, but now even more so with the privilege escalation issue, and there apparently not being a fix for our version….except to upgrade.
Looking over the “in place upgrade” portion of the documentation, it seems we can simply backup the configuration files (we’re not using version control yet), do an uninstall of 2022.2, do a fresh install of the latest 2024, and then restore the configuration backup.
Are there any known issues with doing this from 2022 to 2024? I know the product was rebranded in 2023, but the differences I could see between 2022 and 2023 seemed mostly cosmetic for the rebrand. However, I know 2024 seems to be different.
I just really want to dot all my i’s and cross all my t’s, and keep any down time to a minimum. And know if there are any “gotchas” that can be avoided.
Thank you.
