Create the FME Server Database on a Separate Database Server

This section provides instructions on how to configure FME Server to use a separate Database Server. Configuring Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle running on both Windows and Linux are described.

Note:  If you chose the Express Install option or selected to use the default FME Server Database Server with Custom Install then you already have all that is required to run FME Server and there is no need to read this section.

Configuring FME Server to use a separate database server involves the following steps:

  1. Database Configuration – This involves setting up FME Server database tables and database users with permissions to access the FME Server database.

    2. Note:  The specific way to set up database tables and user permissions on various production databases may differ depending on the available database tools and intended target platform.

  2. Post-configuration scripts - These scripts enable the installed services, sample workspaces, and notification subscribers.

    3. Note:  FME Server connects to the Database Server when it starts. Therefore, ensure that this Database Server is running before FME Server is started.

Proceed to Install the FME Server Services and Configure for Failover.
