About Component and Job Recovery in FME Flow

FME Flow restarts components and jobs automatically when crashes occur—no additional planning is needed.

Component Recovery

FME Flow comes out-of-the-box with component recovery. This means that, even on a single system, FME Flow monitors and restarts components that fail, including the FME Engines and the FME Flow Core. This is achieved through the FME Flow Process Monitor. The ability for FME Flow to monitor its own components ensures reliable uptime and dependability.

Job Recovery

FME Flow also includes the ability to restart a translation (job) when a crash occurs. FME Flow can continue to resubmit a translation up to a specified number of attempts. As a result, jobs that experience temporary issues, such as a network hiccup, are resubmitted and run again. Job recovery is configurable and can be turned off entirely.
