Sends a notification to a specified FME Server. The notification may be used for a variety of actions, such as triggering a downstream workspace, or sending an e-mail message to subscribed clients.
Dependencies
This transformer requires an FME Server connection.
Output Ports
Output
Features are output through this port for every notification that was successfully sent. Each feature will have the following attributes exposed:
- _notifier_topic: Topic to be notified
- _notifier_content: The contents of the notification
<Rejected>
Features are output through this port when a notification fails to be sent. Each feature will have the following attributes exposed:
- _notifier_topic: Topic to be notified
- _notifier_content: The contents of the notification
- _failure_reason: If failed to send a notification, the failure reason
- _http_status_code: If failed to send a notification, the HTTP status code
Failure to successfully send a notification will not halt the translation.
Performance Considerations
Windows systems may experience slow performance in situations where a high volume of notifications are sent. Performance may improve by disabling automatic proxy detection:
- Click the Start menu,
- In the 'Search programs and files' textbox, type 'proxy' and select 'Configure proxy server'.
- In the Internet Properties dialog, Connections tab, click LAN settings.
- Uncheck Automatically detect settings.
- Click OK.
Connection
You can connect to an FME Server in one of the following ways:
Connection
Specify a web connection to an FME Server. Web connections can be reused in multiple workspaces, and connection parameters are hidden in the workspace. For more information, see Using Web Connections.
Embed Connection Parameters
When checked, you must specify the connection parameters to the FME Server manually. The connection parameters are visible in the workspace. To connect, specify:
FME Server URL
Enter a URL to access FME Server. You may need to contact your System Administrator for the URL.
Username and Password
Provide your FME Server credentials.
Note: You can click the Status hyperlink to ensure that the FME Server connection has been successfully established.
Parameters
Topic
This parameter is the notification topic. Different FME Server notification subscriptions respond to different topics, so this topic eventually determines which actions are triggered.
Content
This parameter specifies the notification content.
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click 
beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
