Hello,

 

What should happen with running jobs if FME Server Core service is restarted?

 

I've distributed setup and engines are on different hosts then server core.

 

Should they be restarted or should they continue running?

By default, anything that was running while FME Server was restarted will automatically be resubmitted.

 

 

You can control this behaviour by modifying the fmeserverconfig.txt file (found in <ServerInstallDirectory>/Server/fmeserverconfig.txt).

Inside that file, there is a parameter called MAX_FAILED_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_RETRIES. It is set to 3 by default. If you change that to 0, then no job will ever be automatically retried. Once that is set, if you restart FME Server while a job is running, that job will be listed as a failed job on the Job History table.
