FMEServerJobWaiter

Waits until submitted FME Spatial ETL jobs are completely processed by an FME Server. The list of jobs to wait for is identified by the job IDs of the input features. When a job that the transformer is waiting for is completed, it outputs the corresponding feature immediately.

Dependencies

This transformer requires an FME Server connection.

Output Ports

The initiating feature is output via the Succeeded port if the job successfully ran to completion, and will have these attributes added to it:

  • _job_id: the integer ID the server assigned to this job
  • _LogFileLocation: the location of the logfile of the job 
  • _result: the translation result of the job
  • _requestKeyword: the subsection keyword of the job
  • _request: the string request of the job that was submitted to the server
  • _StatusMessage: the successful message returned from the server
  • _StatusNumber: a success number corresponding to the message above
  • _NumFeaturesOutput: the number features that were output by the job
  • _timeFinished: the time the job finished
  • _timeRequested: the time the server received the job request
  • _timeStarted: the time the server started processing the job

  • _job_failure_type: holds one of "Incomplete Parameters", "Connection or Server Problem" or "Translation Failed". If the latter, then the following attributes also will have values; otherwise, they are empty
  • _result: the translation result of the job 
  • _requestKeyword: the subsection keyword of the job
  • _request: the string request of the job that was submitted to the server
  • _job_id: the integer ID the server assigned to this job
  • _StatusMessage: the error message returned from the server explaining why the request failed
  • _StatusNumber: an error number corresponding to the above message
