Hi Everyone,

Very new to FME. We have a small team which will be developing interfaces using FME workspaces (exposed as APIs and call APIs exposed by other systems).

I wanted to know if there is a way to set global variables/settings so that all workspaces/webhooks can use the same variables. These variables will be used to store Database connections, error mailbox email address, urls to be used in HTTP caller. Idea is these values are common for all workspaces and also change depending the environment we are in i.e. dev, QA, UAT and production. APIs will be hosted on Kong API GW.

 

Any help is appreciated? Or if someone can point me to documentation that explains doing this.

Hi @sseth2011​ ,

 

FME has two feature that can help with this. Database Connections and Web Connections. The connection you in your workspace can be re-used and updated from a central location. The HTTPCaller is a bit trickier, you can make a global text/url parameter on a workspace level, but on a multi-workspace level there isn't a mechanism.
