FME Server 2017 now allows us to cancel a job if it exceeds a certain time limit. It would be nice if we could set up a Notification Service instead.

I saw during the demo this morning that the job has a clear start and end time. It would also be good if the cause of the end time (stopped caused by time limit) would be shown on the results page.

I would not mind the job being cancelled after the specified time, but adding the option to trigger a topic feels like essential to the way I would intend to use this. With that option I can glue some costom handling of the fact that a job ran out of time.
I agree with martinkoch that a Topic should be able to be triggered when a job is cancelled by the queue wait time expiring. I think that cancelled jobs should be treated like a failure. Cancelled jobs create no logs and no FME_END_PYTHON scripts will run for processing errors and warnings from the logs. Subsequently no fault finding processes will kick off. Without an FME Server Notification, no-one is informed of the potential failure of the script and its downstream products.
After some investigation into the FME Server REST API, cancelled jobs (status = 'ABORTED') can be collected and rerun where appropriate.
I do recommend exploring the REST API and what you can do with it.
