I'm trying to run a python shutdown script and get this error -

"The workspace has Python Compatibility set to 'Esri ArcGIS Python 3.9', which requires an appropriate version of ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server"

 

I've also tried calling the script from cmd line and get this in the engine log -

Arc Pro is setup and licensed, I'm able to run the script within it and also from cmd line. It just fails with FME server.

Using FME Server with ArcGIS Pro licensing is difficult because FME Server needs a type of license it can check out without the possibility of being prompted with a login screen for ArcGIS Pro, or a ArcGIS Server installation on the same machine. What ESRI usually provides is a named user license which FME cannot use . Also there are legal ramifications of using FME Server with ArcGIS Pro which is I think not allowed by ESRI in their Terms Of Service. What this might mean for your problem is you need to buy ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Server because that is the official solution and everything else is illegal.

 

I an not sure if this is the root of your problem but if it is then you won't be able to find a workaround here as this is a official forum.

I was told by support:

To meet ESRI's license terms and for us to offer support, ArcGIS Server must be installed and licensed on the same machine as FME Server. ArcGIS Server Basic Edition is sufficient for FME Server. If you have an enterprise license, you should be able to install another instance of ArcGIS Server on the FME Server machine. This documentation from ESRI may help: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/install/windows/installing-arcgis-for-server-on-multiple-machines.htm

Thanks 🙂 that would explain why it works with desktop and not server

I've been facing the same issue on both FME desktop and our new FME Server build.

 

I've found that FME doesn't like using portal authenticated licence server using named licences. Once I changed back to the integrated login in ArcGIS pro the license would load in FME Desktop.

 

The issue is I can't use this with my FME Engines. So I'm going to check a license out to test my theory.

 

Is this a bug or a limitation?
