Provide a Database Server

FME Server uses its own database to manage jobs and workspace information. It is not a source or destination data source for FME workspaces.

When configuring an active-passive network for FME Server, you must provide your own database server on which to configure the FME Server database. Supported database servers include:

• Oracle
• PostgreSQL
• SQL Server

The database server you provide should be configured for fault tolerance. When you install the FME Server Core, the database server must be running and you must know the connection information. Following installation, you must be able to create a new database on the server using SQL scripts.
