I would like to submit jobs to the queue such that they only run during certain times, and are on hold outside of those times, while other jobs not so tagged run as normal, even if they have equivalent or lower priority than the tagged jobs.

Current scenario, I have a workspace I need to run ~6000 times. The workspace is resource intensive and causes network/connectivity issues if it’s run during business hours.

I would like to queue up the jobs so that they only run between 6pm and 6am, but any other job will run as normal between 6am and 6pm. I am currently submitting 200 jobs a night manually, and sometimes they finish early so I miss out on potential processing time, and sometimes there’s a few left in the queue that I have to abort in the morning so that normal operations can proceed. Ideally I would submit all 6000 jobs at once and FME would process however many jobs fit into the 12 hour window, than pause that queue. While that queue is paused any jobs submitted normally would run according to standard priority.

After reviewing this idea, I find that it closely resembles the request in FME Server Job Queue Scheduling. That idea has been suggested more recently and has gained more votes from Knowledge Center Users – for that reason, this idea will be marked as Duplicate and voting will close.

Thank you for taking time to read through and show your support for this idea – if you would still like to see this implemented, please consider casting your vote on the other one!
