Hi, we have SmallWorld 4.2 and would like to automatically export data to another database using FME server on a daily basis. As stated here, the connection service to FME is started automatically in SmallWorld 5.x, not in previous versions. I need to know if it is possible to automate the start of the connection service. The idea would be for example to start automatically the connection service at 1 AM everyday and then start the export workflow on FME server at 1.05 AM. Is it possible with version 4.2 of Smallworld ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @jonniedeb,

We're currently using SmallWorld 4.3 and our FME connection is configured to start when an admin session is opened. This occurs as one of the startup scripts. This is an addition/customisation which I believe is no longer required in version 5.x on, as mentioned.

For our FME server configuration, we have set up scheduled tasks which start a SmallWorld instance at a specific time, the script runs to ensure connection with FME.

Hopefully this helps at least a little, happy to discuss further.

 

Cheers
