Database Configuration - PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is an open source database that can be downloaded from the Internet. For more information, see the PostgreSQL web site at:

http://www.postgresql.com

It’s assumed that PostgreSQL is already installed .

One notation used is <FMEServerDir>, which is the installation directory of FME Server. In Windows, this is typically C:\Program Files\FMEServer.

It’s also assumed that you have JRE 5 or higher and PostgreSQL database installed before you proceed further. If you want to use the JDBC driver, there are several steps to perform.

If you are upgrading, you should back up any job history you want to keep.

After Database Creation

After the database has been created, see Post-Configuration Scripts for additional steps.
