Notification or schedule for start/restart

Thanks @GerhardAtSafe, but what I mean is the ability to kick off a workspace once the instance has started. If it's on a schedule that's easy, just set up a schedule in the admin interface to start a few minutes later. But if it's stopped and restarted at random intervals that won't work.

 

Hi @redgeographics

 

oh, I see what you mean now. You would like to configure an FME Server Topic that is always triggered whenever FME Server was started, is this correct?

 

I posted another idea suggesting this feature for FME Server. Please feel free to vote on it and add any further details you would like to see:

I also did a few tests with the Instance Events regarding this. With an Instance Started event, for example, a possible workaround, for now, would be an Email publication that polls an external Email account (e. g. Gmail or similar account that is specified to receive the Instance event notification) for "Instance Started" emails and triggers a topic whenever an email with the "Instance Started" subject line is received. The topic again can now trigger a workspace with the FME Workspace Subscriber. This way you can make sure your job runs within a minute whenever your FME Cloud instance is started. This would work similarly for reboots. (Note: The notification email is usually sent before FME Server is running on the instance, so the Emails to Fetch parameter in the Email publication should be set to "Unread Emails".)
