We are risk averse here at Lizard Inc. and we utilize a a three stage dev/test/prod environment to ensure that no bad code or configurations get into our production system. Production must work!!

How can we move a working solution from an FME Server development installation to a testing/staging installation and ultimately to our production install?

This is so easy in FME Server 2017.0 using new functionality called Projects.

Check out this video showing how to create a project for the purpose of moving it from one FME Server installation to another:

    If you are using FME Server 2016 or previous, then you don't have access to Projects.

    Here is what you can do instead:

    Also, if you need each environment to use it's own database, then you can define a database connection on each FME Server that shares the exact same name, but differs in the host and credential info. When a workspace is moved from one FME Server to the next, it will just connect to the database defined in the connection.

     

     

    Relates to this somewhat:
