Is it possible to get FME Server to run and process an ArcGIS Python script on a different server?

​

I have an ArcGIS Pro​ script that undertakes some map series functions but the script won't run on the FME Server. My guess is a permissions, user, python version or path issue but haven’t been able to get it to run successfully on the FME Server. I have installed ArcGIS Pro but with no luck.

​

So I waz thinking if the script resides on an ArcGIS Server then maybe that would solve the problem but cannot figure out if it is feasible.

​

Does anyone know what i can do?

​

Have you had a look at the fmeprocessmonitor log file? you should get some hints as to why your python is failing there. Theres a good thread here on python Errors in FME Server:

There are command line tools available to execute commands on another computer, however, this is probably more of a headache than it's worth.

 

Are you able to trigger the ArcGIS server tool with a REST call or something? that would probably be the easiest/least complex approach of you really can't get the python to rio on your FME Server

If you do end up wanting to process it on the ArcGIS Server, the best way would be to publish it as a GP Service and call that through an HTTP Caller
