We are moving away from connecting to SDE via a 3-Tier connection type to a direct connection type.  We have several hundred workspaces with connections to SDE with the 3-Tier.  I was wondering if anyone has wrote a script or know of an easy way to do change the parameters in how it connects in some type of batch process so we don't have to edit and touch each one of our workspaces manually.  Any advice or asiistance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

 

FME workspace files are simply text files, so you could try to use an editor like Notepad++ to search and replace the connection parameters.

 

 

A couple of suggestions for more sustainable solutions:
  • Use a connection file (*.sde) rather than hardcoding the connection parameters into the reader/writer
  • Use an external configuration file that is read into scripted parameters when the workspace starts
