Question

We decided to install a newer version of Apache tomcat, because of issues with the current tomcat. We would like to know if one can safely use Tomcat version 9.0.68 with FME server 2021.1.

At our organization we have an extensive FME server installation with a lot of machines for the engines and cores. We have Apache tomcat 9.0.50 installed, but have a lot of issues with this version of tomcat in combination with fme server 2021.1. Our decision was to install a newer version, 9.0.68., recommended for fme server 2022.2. We succeeded to upgrade tomcat without deinstalling FME server. However we are interested if we can expect issues.with this version in the future. If you need more information please let me know.

Hello @mkastelijns​ ,

 

Per our documentation, FME Server supports Apache Tomcat version 9.0.x. On Windows, we recommend running the web application server on the same version of the Java Runtime Environment as FME Server runs. To determine this version, use a text editor to open file release in <FMEServerDir>\\FMEServer\\Utilities\\jre.

This might be a helpful document to follow for FME Server Upgrade by Providing your own version of Tomcat.
