fme server 2012 phantom queries running 40000 times an hour

1) Check your job queue. Are there lots of jobs sitting waiting to be processed? Perhaps someone sent a huge batch for processing during a test and they aren't getting cleared because you don't have enough engines to cope with the volume. If they are there, which workspace is being run?

 

 

2) If a workspace was run it may contain an FMEServerJobSubmitter or a WorkspaceRunner that is spawning other jobs. Do you have any workspaces like this?

 

 

3) Have you got any workspaces that run on a schedule and someone chose to run every second instead of say every week?

 

 

4) Have a look at the Job History tab in the Admin console. Does this show which workspace is being run?

 

 

5) Go to <fmeserverinstall>\\logs and have a look for the most recent log files by date. See what information they can shed on the issue.

 

 

6) Check the task manager on the machine. Does it look like the fmeengine.exe processes are thrashing. Try restarting the FME Server service and see if they return to the same state. Are you sure its definately FME Server and someone isn't calling FME Desktop in batch? If it's the latter it may be harder to hunt out the culpret.

 

 

Best of luck.
