+29Hi list.
We're still running FME Server 2020.2.5, and now our IT department is fuzzing over questioning the version of Tomcat that runs FME Server. Something with potential vulnerabilities.
Is it possible to update this Tomcat without updating FME Server itself ?
If so, what are the caveats ?
Cheers

FME Server has a pretty narrow selection of supported Web App servers - see here: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/AdminGuide/Provide_Web_App_Server.htm
I'd hazard a guess that your IT department would be wanting you to upgrade to Tomcat 10 which is listed as unsupported

I think it might heavily depend on whether this was an express or a custom installation.

No, it's something called "BlackstoneOne" that prompted them to issue the request for update.
I installed it normally, i.e. express I guess. But Tomcat applets ought to be independent of the Tomcat itself, if they're compatable of course. So I was hoping.
