Verify the Installation

For instructions on starting and stopping FME Server, the Database Server, and the Web Application Server, see Working with the FME Server System Services.

Confirm that the Web Services are available:

Open the Web User Interface in a web browser:

http://<host>:<port>/fmeserver

If you see a login form, it means that the Web Application Server is running, the web applications have been deployed, and you specified the correct port when accessing the Web User Interface.

Note: If you are using a non-standard port, enter the port number after the host name, for example:

http://localhost:8080/fmeserver

Confirm that FME Server is available:

Log in to the Web User Interface with the username and password you entered during installation.

  • If you are able to log in , it confirms that FME Server is installed and running.
  • If you cannot access the Web UI, the page shows a Server error, or you can confirm that FME Server is not running, you might have a problem with installation. For support, go to safe.com/support.

Confirm that the FME Engines are licensed:

Log in to the Web User Interface with the username and password you entered during installation.

If your FME Engines are unlicensed, a dialog will appear. Click the link to navigate to the Engines & Licensing page. Alternatively, on the menu, click Engines & Licensing.

The Engines & Licensing page lists the licensed and running FME Engines.

If there are no FME Engines, your FME Server might not be licensed. See Request and Install a License for instructions on acquiring a license.

If you still do not see active FME Engines in the Web User Interface, send the following information:

  • From the FME Server computer, the most recent copy of the following logs:

    <FMEServerDir>\Logs\processMonitor_xx.log

    <FMEServerDir>\Logs\fmeServer_xx.log

Confirm that FME Server can run a job:

After you confirm that your FME Engines are licensed, confirm that FME Server can perform its primary function—running a job.
