“Feature Types to Read” parameter issue in the published workbench,

Hi,

 

 

You can modify the feature type list in workbench, to include the feature type you want.

 

You can import feature types and use alternative names. This change will be reflected in FME Server.

Thank you Itay for the help,

 

 

The issue here is that the choice of the “Feature Types to Read” is dependent on the selection of the “Source” data, as the source data selected is changed, then the list of the “Feature Types to Read” is changed.

 

 

Is there a way to have similar environment in the published workbench as in the Desktop, i.e. to be flexible to choose the source data and then its list of “Feature Types to Read”.  

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                       

In that case you can opt to merge the feature types as described here

Or assign the feature types before hand

Before processing.

 

either way it's not as elegant as the desktop environment.

 

A startup python script can also be used to retrieve feature types as described here

Many thanks Itay for the help
