+5Hi,
Is there a way to get a list of feature type names of all Readers and writers inside workspace?
I don't want to read data. Just need to create some sort of report of what feature types do I read and write. And in my workbench there are lots of them, so doing it by hand is gonna be time consuming
Regards,
Želimir

Take a look at the workspace statistics created by @markatsafe. It might be what you're looking for.

If you only have a single reader, you could link the "Feature types to read" attribute to a private or published parameter, then use the ParameterFetcher to retrieve the list.
Another option could be to use Sampler with a Group By on "fme_feature_type" (or "fme_dataset", depending on the format). That would give you a list of all the feature types or datasets read in the workspace.

Yes, FMW reader is something I've been looking for.

@zzupljanin The workspace statistics that @jlbaker2779 referenced does include the Feature Types, but not for the purposes of tracking them. So it's probably best to create your own workspace using the FMW reader.
Things are a little more complicated if you use FeatureReader and FeatureWriter transformers. The FMW reader Reader/WriterFeatureTypes feature types doesn't directly return the the feature types used in these transformers. You'll have to include the FMW Transformers & TransformerParameters feature types and dig out the transformer_parameter_name WRITER_FEATURE_TYPE_PARAMS or READER_FEATURE_TYPE_PARAMS.
