Hi All,

I'm very new to FME, so I apologize if this is a silly question.

Is it possible to re-run only part of a translation?

I have a series of transformers (clippers and surface modelers) which make up my translation, the whole thing takes 6 hours to run. I let it run over night and when I checked the output file this morning I realized I messed up something in the last transformer.

I changed the parameter on the last transformer and it should be good now. Is it possible to just run the last transformer or should I re-run the whole thing and wait 6 hrs.

I see the numbers of features on the connections between transformers, so I was hoping they're stored somewhere on the memory and don't have to be recalculated.

You can catch the data at any point in the process by using the Recorder transformer and the use the Player transformer to play your workspace with the recorded data from that point forward.

Thanks!

 

But I guess i'ts too late now. I should have thought about including a recorder before I ran the translation, right?
