Monitoring FME Server Activity with Notifications

FME Server is pre-configured to publish content about significant events, such as when a transformation that originates from FME Server succeeds or fails, or when a backup or restore operation succeeds or fails. This content is delivered to a set of pre-existing topics. Additionally, FME Server includes a set of subscribers that are already subscribed to these topics. When configured completely, these subscribers can deliver their content to you over the specified protocol.

Pre-Configured Topics

To view these topics, select the Topics tab on the Notifications page of the FME Server Web User Interface.

Note: When you publish a workspace to FME Server, you can specify your own topics to receive success or failure notifications from Data Download or Job Submitter transformations, rather than these pre-configured topics. In that case, the corresponding topics below are not notified, unless they are also explicitly specified at publish time.

Topic Name Description
DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE A notification for this topic is generated following a Data Download Service FME transformation that fails.
DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS A notification for this topic is generated following a Data Download Service FME transformation that succeeds.
JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE A notification for this topic is generated following a Job Submitter Service FME transformation that fails.
JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS A notification for this topic is generated following a Job Submitter Service FME transformation that succeeds.
MIGRATION_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE A notification for this topic is generated following a backup or restore request that fails.
MIGRATION_ASYNC_JOB_SUCCESS A notification for this topic is generated following a backup or restore request that succeeds.
SAMPLE_TOPIC This is a sample topic. By default, no notifications are generated for this topic. It is used for testing notifications.

Attaching Log Files to Notification E-mails

You can configure the following subscribers to attach an FME job log file with each e-mail:

  • DataDownload_Email_JobFailure
  • DataDownload_Email_JobSuccess
  • JobSubmitter_Email_JobFailure
  • JobSubmitter_Email_JobSuccess
  1. Open the following files:
    • <FMEServerDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmedatadownload\WEB-INF\conf\propertiesFile.properties
    • <FMEServerDir>\Utilities\tomcat\webapps\fmejobsubmitter\WEB-INF\conf\propertiesFile.properties
  2. In each file, locate the ATTACH_TRANSFORMATION_LOG parameter.
  3. To attach a job log file, set this parameter to true. To stop the subscribers from attaching job log files, set this parameter to false. (This is the default setting.)
  4. Restart the FME Server Application Server.
