WFS reader: Timeout?

I obtain features from an WFS using the WFS Reader within a FME 2015 Workspace on FME Server. From time to time the job hangs and blocks the Server Engine for hours, while usually the run is successfully done after 2 minutes or so. I suppose that the WFS connection gets lost or so.

Is there a smart way to have FME Server cancel a job after a certain amount of time (timeout function) in order to prevent such jobs from blocking a whole engine? Either any parameter in the server / engine configuration or a smart kind of routine within the workspace (i tried a timestamp and compare bevor / after routine, this however does not prevent the workspace from hanging)?

This has been posted as an enhancement idea before:

If you vote for that idea the chances of it being introduced in FME Server increases.

I import data from a stream via SQLserver wfs GeoServer . I filter the import of data from the XML module. Our server is busy régulèrement is it possible to increase the number of connection attempts and the time of the timeout ?

Yes, Erik, I read about the idea. I just wondered if somebody found any kind of solution or workaround to that in the meantime!

 

We have enourmous trouble with hanging WFS jobs blocking engines and the entire processing. We waited for a whole wile now for any kind of solution to this, we did not get any promised by safe so far, and it will still take a lot more time untill this is effecively going to be resolved and released (apart from migration and implementation). Frustrating!
