Our company rented server (Windows Server 2016) where we've got ArcGiS Server (Enterprise) + FME Server. And some FME jobs (workbenches) using FME SDE Readers. So reades takes some vector objects from SDE base and then make some transformations with them. And all works fine.

Week ago we are migrated to another server (Windows Server 2016 again). So we are reinstall ArcGiS Enterprise (+ restore backups) and then reinstall FME server (+restore backups too). All jobs working fine except those, which are using FeatureReader "Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)". Is some reason when I'm tried to start jobs I've got an error

So, in some reason, FME Server didn't see ArcGIS Server license. As I understand correctly. How can I solve this error? May be there is configuration file for FME somewhere and I need to write arcgis server license inside it.

Any help would be nice

  • The answer is in your log file. You need the 64-bit Background Geoprocessing installed. As you are using 64bit FME. This is a separate ESRI download desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/analyze/executing-tools/…

    Well, isn't ArcGIS Server (Enterprise) always 64-bit? I'd look at other things like ArcGIS Server being properly licensed, the user running the services, version compatibility between both products... Check this other URL, which is the one the log points at community.safe.com/s/article/…

  • @Mapperz Background Processing available only for ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) and it's not possible to install Background Processing without ArcMap. Btw, Background Processing doesn't exists for server

  • @fgiron thx for your answer. May be you're right and there is version conflict. I'll check it.

Finally, problem solved. It's compatibility question. ArcGis Server 10.9.1 can only work with FME Server 2021.2.. and upper. Earlier FME server versions just can't see newer Enterprise and we've got license error.
