Thanks for any light you can shed on this!

When I add an ESRI SDE reader, I have to provide a bunch of connection parameters and tell it which features I want on my canvas. Later, when I right click on a reader feature on my canvas and click "Update..." to pick up recent schema changes, I have to re-enter all the connection parameters and re-pick the feature to update. How come FME does not pick up the connection parameters from the reader (I can see them listed in the Navigator pane) and assume that the feature I want to update is the one I right-clicked on? Am I missing something basic? The same thing happens if I try to use the "Update Feature Types" from the reader menu. I have to re-populate all my connection parameters. I am using FME 2013 SP1.

Hi,
you are right about this behaviour. I reported it to Safe as an enhancement request some time ago. I suggest you do the same thing so as to encourage them to implement it -- the more users that request something, the more likely it is to get done :-)
