I get the following error when I try running fcm\_make\_pp which none of my colleagues got ever? Any thoughts would be great. There is no server called w-mauivlab02

Hi @Abh

It looks as if you need to check the `fcm_make` app configuration, and that you have access to location(s) where you’re attempting to run it. Since you’re on Maui, I’ve hooked you up with colleagues who know FCM, via email.
