I was curious if there was some way to set FME Server up so that if a job from a workspace that was already running, the new job would either be cancelled or sent to the queue/held until the current job got done running. This would be useful especially for jobs automatically submitted through schedules or automations when writing out so you don't write double records.

I think I'm basically asking for this, but productized so we don't have to implement it in each workspace that's in a schedule. Additionally, it might be something that I could see added into the automation functionality on FME server.

I guess that a workaround could be to reserve a single engine for this workspace, so that it's not possible to execute the job in parallel.

For FME Server 2020.0 and newer, we have implemented the "Skip if Job In Progress" to FME Server Automations. You will see this available for the Run Workspace action (navigate to the 'Advanced' tab).

Note that any "skipped" Job will not appear as cancelled – thought it will be logged to the Automations Log.

Please consider testing it out in the latest betas! Let us know if there are any improvements to make.

I don't suppose it is going to support schedules as well?

For all the times that I've been in a schedule on FME server 2019.1+, I have not seen it until you mentioned it to me! I wonder what else is lurking out there that I have probably seen, but never realized it was there!
