Hey Folks,

I created a working fmw on desktop, executes fine on desktop, fails on server.

notes

  • login to server, copy fmw and data, executes as expected

the fmw has the following logic

  • SQL executor (this runs succesfully)
  • Reader - Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)
  • Reader - Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)

however in the log, it fails because of the following (image below).

my understanding is it only should use a BASIC/ARCVIEW license for the File Geodb format. however not sure what is happening here. perhaps it has to do with the user level running the engine? no clue.

Hi @dfresh,

 

I suspect that the user that is being used to run the FME Engine may not have permission to access the ArcGIS License. Here is a good article that explains this: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/24153/using-fme-server-with-esri-software.html

 

 

Try what is suggested in the "FME Engine Service Account Requirements" section.

 

 

Also, ensure that you are using both 64bit FME/Esri or 32bit FME/Esri products as mixing these will not work. Hope that helps!
