Overview

   This factory can be used to wait until submitted FME Spatial ETL jobs are 
   completely processed by an FME Server. 

   The SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT are the server host and port number that 
   identify the FME Server where the jobs were submitted. The optional USERNAME 
   and PASSWORD may be needed in order to gain access to the server.

   The list of jobs to wait for is identified by the job IDs of the input 
   features. When a job that it is waiting for is completed, it outputs the 
   corresponding feature immediately.

   The time interval for this transformer to wait between inquiries into the 
   status of each job is specified by the Polling Interval. This is measured in 
   seconds and can be entered as an integer value or an integer attribute. This 
   parameter should not be set too small as this not only impacts the resources 
   on the client, but also on the FME Server responding to each query. Generally 
   use as large value as possible for this parameter. For example, if the job is 
   expected to take about 20 minutes, then it is not efficient to set the 
   Polling Interval to a few seconds.

      Features that successfully get requests to the server.

   FAILED
