Deployment Parameters with DB Connection not set as User Parameter

Hi Community,

I tried to use a DB Connection as Deployment Parameter and set it as Default value in the User Parameters in Workbench as shown in Screenshot below. 

However when I publish this workspace to Flow the User Parameter with DB Connection is empty and I need to select again the DB Connection manually (2nd Screenshot).

Is this an expected behaviour? In my logic the User Parameter should be set automatically (works like this e.g. for Text Deployment Parameters as User Parameter). A workaround I found was to delete the User Parameter before deployment then the Job in Flow uses directly the correct DB Connection.

Thanks for your response in advance - BR Kai.

Hi ​@kai_fme,

Great thanks for that. Looks like this might be due to a bug. I’ve gone and filed an issue (FMEFLOW-27585) regarding the DB connections not being populated when published up to FME Flow.

In the meantime you’ll have to use the workaround you mentioned or just manually select the connections once the workspace has been uploaded.

We’ll keep you posted regarding any updates or fixes. If you have any questions or concerns let me know!

    Hi ​@kai_fme,

    Could you tell me which FME 2025.2 build number you are seeing this happening on?
