After you back up your repository and any configurations and before you install the newest FME Server version, you must uninstall the previously installed version of FME Server.
The following steps are required:
When completed, proceed to Install.
Stopping the Services
For the uninstall process to complete properly, you must first stop the FME Server services, as well as any third-party web application and database services. For more information, see Starting and Stopping FME Server Manually.
To stop the web application server and database services depends on which ones you have installed. If you installed FME Server using the Express option, you can use the instructions at Starting and Stopping FME Server Manually to stop these services as well. If you installed FME Server using the Distributed option, you may have opted to use your own web application and/or database server. To stop these services, refer to your product-specific documentation.
Dropping the Third-Party Database
If your previous installation of FME Server used your own database server (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL) rather than the FME Server default database, you must drop the FME Server database currently in use. To do so, use the following SQL scripts, depending on your database:
Microsoft SQL Server
Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\sqlserver
Scripts:
sqlserver_dropUser.sql
sqlserver_dropDB.sql
Oracle
Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\oracle
Scripts:
oracle_dropUser.sql
PostgreSQL
Script location: <FMEServerDir>\Server\database\postgresql
Scripts:
postgresql_dropUser.sql
postgresql_dropDB.sql
Uninstalling Previous Versions of FME Server
Uninstall the previous version of FME Server:
- For Windows environments, uninstall FME Server through the Control Panel.
- For Linux environments, remove the following:
- Your FME Server directory
- All FME .war files and their associated FME servlet directories from the web application deployment directory of your application server
- The fmedatadownloadresults directory from your web server public root directory, if it exists
