Upgrading to a Second Machine, Using a Different Host Name

Note: If the FME Server you are upgrading from was configured for HTTPS, you must reconfigure HTTPS after the upgrade is complete.

  1. Provide a new machine for the upgrade.
  2. Backup the FME Server configuration from the old machine.
  3. Install FME Server on the new machine. On the FME Server Hostname dialog, specify the new hostname.

    4. Note: If your FME Server installation includes an FME Server Database that is configured on your own database server, you must perform the step to Configure the FME Server Database on a Separate Database Server as part of installation. You cannot reuse the FME Server Database from a previous installation because the table schemas may differ from the upgraded version.

  4. Restore the backed-up FME Server configuration to the new machine.
  5. Test that your configuration has been migrated successfully.

    6. Note: Hardcoded paths to the previous host name in workspaces, transformers and HTTP push subscriptions must be manually updated.

  6. Uninstall FME Server from the old machine (or recycle the machine).
