About the FME Flow System Services

FME Flow is comprised of a series of components, and each component is installed as a standard Windows service.

FMEFlowAppServer

On install, if you use the default FME Flow Web Application Server, the service automatically starts at system boot time. If you are using your own web application server, it is important to note that the FME Flow Web Services are deployed and run by your web application server, not by FME Flow itself. Ensure that your web application server is started for users to access any FME Flow web services including the Web User Interfaces.

FME Flow Core

The FME Flow Core is the main FME Flow service and should always be running. By default, this service is started at system boot time.

FME Flow Database

On install, if you use the default FME Flow Database, it creates a service called FME Flow Database, which automatically starts at system boot time. If you used your own database, such as Oracle, ensure that the service starts prior to the FME Flow Core service starting.

FME Flow Engines

This service starts and runs the FME Engines.
