Upgrading to a Second Machine, Using a Different Host Name

Note  If the FME Flow 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 Flow configuration from the old machine.
    3. Warning  If System Encryption is Standard (default) on the FME Flow that is backed up, it must also be Standard on the FME Flow that is restored, and use the same custom encryption key. Before proceeding, ensure your custom encryption key is downloaded and safely saved.
  3. Install FME Flow on the new machine. On the FME Flow Hostname dialog, specify the new hostname.
    4. Note   If your FME Flow installation includes an FME Flow Database that is configured on your own database server, you must perform the step to Configure the FME Flow Database on a Separate Database Server as part of installation. You cannot reuse the FME Flow Database from a previous installation because the table schemas may differ from the upgraded version.
  4. Restore the backed-up FME Flow 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 Flow from the old machine (or recycle the machine).
