So I made a previous post this week asking about CustomTransformers
For most of the time I’ve been working with FME I’ve always seen linked CustomTransformers as tools where Global. That it they should live in Resources>Engine>Transformers on FME Server.
I’ve always wanted to keep this clean and so most of the time I try to embed transformers wherever I can.
But silly me, I just noticed that when publishing a linked transformer from workbench you’re prompted for a repository to choose…
How have I not realised this before. This makes so much sense - it means that I can create linked CustomTransfomer that are project specific and keep them in their respective project.
I never got this in I think in part because FME Desktop/Form doesn’t support this. The Transformers always need to be in a known/central location.
I created an idea so that the same kind of structure can work with FME form as we can on FME Flow:
To me this kind or structure just allows keeping everything together - for example in a git project.
