Install the FME Server Core and FME Engines

Perform the following on both the primary and failover machines of your Active-Passive Architecture:

1. Start the FME Server Installer.
2. On the Choose Setup Type dialog, select the Distributed install option.



3. On the Custom Setup dialog, select FME Server Core Components and FME Engine. Unselect Web Services.



4. On the Destination Folder dialog, specify the installation directory for FME Server.



5. On the FME Server System Share dialog, specify a directory on another machine to store FME Server System Share files, which include Repositories and Resources. If this is a Linux installation, specify the mounted directory. For more information, see Provide a Remote File System.

Note: If you are upgrading to a newer version of FME Server, make sure the specified directory is empty of files from the previous installation. Otherwise, conflicts may occur that can produce unexpected results in performance.



6. On the FME Server Hostname dialog, specify the host that will run the FME  Server Core.

Note: You will enter different host names to specify either the primary or failover host. On all other dialogs, your entries will be the same between the primary and failover installations.



7. On the Administrator Account dialog, enter a user name and password for the admin account. This account provides full access to FME Server, and is the starting point for configuring other user accounts following installation.



8. On the Database Server Type dialog, specify the type of database for the FME Server Database. For more information, see Provide a Database Server.



9. On the Database Server Parameters dialog, specify the connection parameters for the FME Server Database.



10. On the Web Application Server Hostname dialog, specify the connection parameters for the web application server. For more information, see Provide a Web Application Server.



11. Follow the remaining dialogs to complete the installation.
