Hi All, I am trying to gather information on upgradeable transformers and see that current version is available as part of fmw file extension. I want to know where does it get the information on latest version, Is this information saved somewhere. In this example, AttributeManager is currently at ver 2 but latest version is ver 4. I am not sure where this version information stored. 

Thanks

Thanks hkingsbury, This is really helpful. Does this also include reader and writer as well or transformers only? 

As far as I've found: no. Readers and Writers are versioned too, but there's currently no way of finding out which version you have in your workspace and whether or not they can be updated.

My understanding is that it will compare the version in the FMW to the current version found in whatever form version you’ve opened it with.

You can read FMWs in Form using the FME Workspace reader. Amongst many other bits of information, the Transformers feature type will output the current and max transformer version for all transformers in the FMW
