SQSReceiver
Using the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), receives messages from an Amazon SQS queue.
Usage Notes
The performance of this transformer is dependent on the amount of memory allocated to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The following environment variables allow you to specify memory available to Java Plugins:
- FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE: Initial heap size for initializing the JVM. Default value is 1024K.
- FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: Maximum heap size for initializing JVM. Default value is 16384K.
If unset, the JVM applies the default values. If set, the values must be multiples of 1024K (for example, 4M and 64M, or 4096K and 32768K).
Note: To pass additional parameters used by FME to the Java Virtual Machine, use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable.

Amazon Simple Queue Service Parameters
The URL of the Amazon queue to be polled.
An access key associated with a user with permission to receive messages from the queue.
A secret key paired with the access key provided.
Receiver Options
If Yes, the receiver runs indefinitely. If No, enter a maximum number of messages to read in Maximum Messages To Read.
If Persistent Receiver is No, the maximum number of messages to read.
If Yes, received messages use the SQS queue default visibility timeout. If No, enter a new visibility timeout for received messages in Visibility Timeout.
If Use Queue Default Visibility Timeout is No, the new visibility timeout for received messages.
Whether or not the receiver deletes each message before receiving a new one. If Yes, messages are deleted from the SQS queue before the feature exits the transformer. If No, use the SQS Deleter transformer to delete messages.
Working with SQS
For more information about receiving messages from a SQS queue using the Simple Queue Service (SQS), see the Amazon Simple Queue Service Publisher in the FME Server Reference Manual.
