Before Installation

Before you install the FME Flow components for a 3-tier architecture, ensure the following non-FME Flow components are in place on your network:

Database server on a separate machine.
Web application server on a separate machine; or, if using the Web Application Server provided with FME Flow, a machine on which to install it.
File system on a separate machine.
(Recommended) One or more Windows service accounts with read and write permissions on the network shares of the FME Flow Core/Engines and the Web Application Server. In most distributed installations, this account is necessary for these components to communicate with each other across a network. For more information, see Running the FME Flow System Services Under Different Accounts (Windows).
