Installing for N-Tier Architecture (3-Tier)

Before installing a 3-tier FME Server architecture, make sure you have:

To perform a 3-tier installation of FME Server:

  1. Obtain the Installer
  2. Install the FME Server Core and FME Engines.
  3. Install the FME Server Web Services.
  4. Configure the FME Server Database on your database server.
  5. Request and Install a License.
  6. (If necessary) Update the Windows service accounts that run the FME System Services.
  7. (Upgrade only) Restore your FME Server Configuration from a Previous Installation.

What's Next?

  • Optimize: You can scale-up your FMEServer by:
    • Adding FME Engines on separate machines that are closer to your data.
    • Increasing the number of FME Engines that run when you start FME Server.
