It would be great to have an azure service bus connector so it is possible to write directly to an Azure Service Bus Queue within FME.


Use case: I have records in my fme workbench that I want to write to an azure service bus queue.


This would enhance fme's capabilities in the enterprise integration area especially when it comes to working with data and systems in the cloud.

We are currently working on a Azure Event Hub integration which is using the same messaging protocol as Azure Service Bus behind the scenes (AMQP 1.0). I will make sure to investigate if we can leverage that work to also support Azure Service Bus in the future.

 

In the meantime there is a possible workaround in FME Server using the Azure Event Grid External Action in Automations. It is possible to route Azure Event Grid events directly to an Azure Service Bus queue. Maybe this is a feasible solution in the short term. Here's is some documentation on this:

Thanks @gerhardatsafe. Unfortunately the proposed workaround does not work in my use case as I don't own the infrastructure on Azure and can't create an Azure Event Grid event. Another team owns the service bus queue and are expecting us to write data directly to service bus.
