Hey everyone.

 

Our company rented server (Windows Server 2016) where we've got ArcGiS Server (Enterprise) + FME Server. And some FME jobs (workbenches) using FME SDE Readers. So reades takes some vector objects from SDE base and then make some transformations with them. And all works fine.

 

Week ago we are migrated to another server. So we are reinstall ArcGiS Enterprise (+ restore backups) and then reinstall FME server (+restore backups too). All jobs working fine except those, which are using FeatureReader "Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)". Is some reason when I'm tried to start jobs I've got an error

So, in some reason, FME Server didn't see ArcGIS Server license.  As I understand correctly. How can I solve this error? May be there is configuration file for FME somewhere and I need to write arcgis server license inside it.

 

We are using FME Server 2020.2.5.1 Build 20828 - win64

 

Any help would be nice

So you're still have same problem? Even with last Enterprise and FME server version error still exist ?

I did, however it was resolved this way:

1. ensure that you have upgraded your FME desktop software to match the server version (2021.2 or higher);

2. ensure you have an up to date version of arcgis pro on the desktop machine (2.9.1);

3. Open the workspace in FME;

4. goto Workspace Parameters>Translation>ESRI ArcGIS Compatibility and set it to ArcGIS pro.

5. save and Republish the workspace to FME server.

 

With major releases of FME/ArcGIS, the whole platform must upgrade together.

Do you have the 64-bit Background Geoprocessing installed as part of your ArcGIS setup?

Nope. As I know Background Processing as avilable only for ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) and cannot be installed without it. But we have ArcGiS Server (Portal + Server + DataStore), 10.9.1 version. So it's another type of product.

I have the same problem.

ArcGIS Server machine running ArcGIS enterprise 10.9.1

FME Server installed on same machine version

FME Server 2021.2.1.1

Build 21805 - win64

 

Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Server. Refer to this this article http://fme.ly/qua for more details

Note that 10.9.1 is matched to FME server 2021.2 and higher. So if you are using FME 2020.5 you have a problem there.

Further to this, if you intend to use Enterprise version 10.9.1

1. ensure that you have upgraded your FME desktop software to match the server version (2021.2 or higher);

2. ensure you have an up to date version of arcgis pro on the desktop machine (2.9.1);

3. Open the workspace in FME;

4. goto Workspace Parameters>Translation>ESRI ArcGIS Compatibility and set it to ArcGIS pro.

5. save and Republish the workspace to FME server.

 

I've just gone through this procedure and no longer get the error.

Finally, problem solved. It was compatibility question. Only FME Server 2021.2.*.* can see license from Arcgis Enterprise 10.9.1

This. For future reference, this is documented in Notes on FME and Esri Versions and Compatibility.
