FME Server Topic
You can designate FME Server Notification Service Topics to receive messages.
The FME Server Topic external action has two output ports. The success port (✔) can send a message if the topic is notified successfully. The failure port (x) can send a message if the notification fails.
Note: Use the FME Server Topic external action only to terminate a workflow, or a portion of a workflow. It is otherwise not necessary to explicitly define FME Server topics for a workflow to run.
Note: When Retry settings are configured, the failure port renders with a Retry Configured (⟳) icon.
Parameters
Note: See also Working with Parameters in Automations Workflows.
- Topics: Select the FME Server topic(s) you want to receive messages.
- Message: Specify a message to associate with the FME Server topic(s). If specified, this message replaces the incoming message.

Retry
- Retry on failure: If checked, the automation attempts to run the action again if the initial attempt results in a failure to connect to the specified external resource for message delivery. The manner in which these retries are conducted is based on the remaining settings.
- Use custom retry settings: If checked, the remaining retry settings are configurable. If not checked, they are set to the FME Server default values.
- Number of attempts: Maximum number of retries, if the action continues to fail.
- Wait between attempts: Time to wait between retries. In conjunction with Backoff multiplier (below), the specified value is the wait time for the first retry.
- Backoff multiplier: Factor by which to increase Wait between attempts on successive retries. For example, a value of 2.0 doubles the wait time for the next retry.
- Randomization factor: Percentage by which to introduce randomness to Wait between attempts. For example, if Wait between attempts is 100 Seconds, and Randomization factor is 25, the wait time for each retry is randomly selected between 75 and 125 seconds.
- Maximum wait between attempts: Maximum wait time between retries. In conjunction with Backoff multiplier, the specified value is the upper limit for wait time.
