I noticed that when I went to add the Geocoder transformer to a workbench there no longer was a transformer called Geocoder. I am using it to connect to an ArcGIS Server Rest geocoding service. I saw a Geocoder ArcGIS Online transformer and other system specific Geocoder but not the original "Geocoder" transformer.

Hi @jasonclemis​ ,

Can you check the exact build number you are using? I believe you might be using a beta of FME 2021.2.

In FME 2021.2 and newer, we have replaced the Geocoder transformer with an FME Hub package transformer. This replaces the previous Geocoder transformer that was shipped with FME 2021.1 and older.

Thanks, I will check it out. I ended up using the HTTP caller with some of the JSON transformers and it seems to be much faster than the previous Geocoder transformer

@jasonclemis Hi I was wondering if you could share your work around for the geocoder transformer. I am having issues with the new geocoder package from the hub. The old geocoder transformer worked great.
