This morning a colleague indicated to me that it would be useful if we could indicate how long a job is likely to run for on FME Server. Clearly there are a lot of moving parts including source data sizes, transformers used (blocking vs feature), number of transformers, readers/writers etc. going on which could make it hard to auto-forecast, but I wanted to throw the idea out there.
Of course a simpler solution is a private parameter that the author of the workspace supplies, to give an indication once they have run the workspace enough times to know how long it should take.
If this was done it could appear on the workspace summary window after submission, and/or be emailed to the user who wanted to know.
