Install the FME Servers

Perform the following installation on all machines you have allocated for your fault tolerant architecture.

Start the FME Server Installer.

(Windows only) Installation Extractor

On the Installation Extractor dialog, specify aDestination folderin which to extract installation files. Note that this folderonlyspecifies where installation files are extracted—it doesnotspecify where FME Server program files are installed. That location is specified later in the installer.

Tip:Take note of the specifiedDestination folderlocation. Following installation, you may wish to:

Review the installation .log file.

Remove these files. Doing so saves almost 2 GB disk space.

ClickInstall.

When extraction is complete, the installer opens. Proceed through the installer to the Choose Setup Type dialog.

Choose Setup Type

Select the Distributed/Fault Tolerant install option.

目标文件夹

Specify the installation directory for FME Server.

User Account

Specify the Windows user account that will run the FME ServerSystem Services. This account must have:

  • Read/Write access to the FME Server System Share that you specify in the next dialog. The System Share is the location where FME Server storesRepositoriesandResourcesfiles. It must be accessible by all machines that comprise the FME Server deployment. (For more information, seeProvide a Remote File System for the FME Server System Share.)
  • Read/Write access to the FME Server installation directory that you specified in the previous dialog.
  • "Log on as a service" rights on this machine. For more information, seethis Microsoft Docs article.

Note: ">Note:The FME Server Database service always runs under the local system account.

FME服务器System Share

Specify a shared directory visible to all machines that make up the FME Server. This directory stores FME Server System Share files, which includeRepositoriesandResources. If this is a Linux installation, specify the mounted directory. For more information, seeProvide a Remote File System for the FME Server System Share.

Note: ">Note:If you areupgradingto a newer version of FME Server, ensure the specified directory is empty of files from the previous installation. Otherwise, conflicts may occur that can produce unexpected results in performance.

FME服务器Hostname

Specify the name of the machine hosting this installation of FME Server.

Note: ">Note:Do not specify "localhost".

Database Server Type

Specify the type of database for the FME Server Database. For more information, seeProvide a Database Server.

Note: ">Note:Do not specify the "FME Server Database".

Database Server Parameters

Specify the connection parameters for the FME Server Database. Optionally, to customize further the connection parameters in the JDBC connection string, clickAdvanced.

Note: ">Note:
IfMicrosoft SQL Serverwas specified in the previous dialog, checkUse SQL Server instance nameto use that value instead ofPort.
IfOraclewas specified in the previous dialog, you must checkUse Custom JDBC Driverand specify theJDBC Driver.

Database User

The installation creates a user account under which to use the FME Server database. Specify aUser Name(defaults tofmeserver) andPasswordfor the database user account.

Note: ">Note:The password for the FME Server Database user account is encrypted in FME Server installation files. Take note of theUser NameandPasswordthat you specified. You may need to reference it later.

Web Application Server

Specify theFME服务器Web Application Server.

Web Application Server Port

Specify the port to use for communication with the Web Application Server. On Windows, port 80 is the recommended default. If this port is in use, port 8080 is recommended. On Linux, port 8080 is recommended.

Note: ">Note:Common applications that may be using port 80 include Skype and Internet Information Services (IIS). Either turn off these services, or select a different port, such as 8080.

Install Python 2.7

This dialog asks if you want to include an optional Python 2.7 interpreter with the installation. (A Python 3.7 interpreter is installed by default.)

WARNING:The Python 2.7 interpreter relies on the Visual Studio 2008 runtime, which has security vulnerabilities. If you will run existing FME Desktop workspaces from FME Server that reference Python 2.7, we strongly recommend upgrading them to reference Python 3.x in lieu of installing the Python 2.7 interpreter.

Follow the remaining dialogs to complete the installation.
