How to search for readers and writers in the canvas?

Hi,

 

 

first of all, if you have that many transformers, you should probably rethink your architecture a bit :-)

 

 

You cannot search for readers / writers, but you can search for input and output feature types, which are almost the same thing.

 

 

In the Navigator, open the relevant reader / writer and look under feature types. When you click on those, the workspace will automatically pan to the part containing it:

Okay thank you for your help also Is it possible to have readers in the navigator that are no longer the current workbench? a purge?

Hi,

 

 

yes, it is possible to have readers and/or writers in the workbench that no longer have any feature types. This typically happens if you delete the last feature type of a reader/writer and then answer "No" to delete the corresponding reader/writer.

 

 

If you expand the feature types in the navigator and it is empty, you can probably safely delete the reader/writer in question.
