+6At Safe, we’ve been working on improving importing an FME Server Project. Take a look at our prototype video and let us know what you think!
Questions for you:
Is each step of the process clear?
Does this workflow align with how you use Projects?
Is there anything missing from this new workflow?
Very nice, a big improvement! It seems to cover all my current pain points, i.e. not knowing what gets inserted/overwritten before it's too late when recieving projects from other users.
+26Very good improvement indeed. We have had some issues with exactly this, so it seems this would solve a lot for us. Looking foward to the official release. #FMEValentinepost
+63Yes, this looks like a very nice improvement! One thing you may want to add is the option to tag imported items (but that would also require a unified tagging system on all of FME Server) so items imported at a certain time can easily be found (and deleted) again later on.
Last time I imported a project from a client, for tech support, I noticed it had also overwritten things I didn't immediately associate with that project, such as outgoing email...
+25I like what I see very much! Much more import control and insight for the projects. The only thing I could come up with, to improve might be the option to import 'things' under a different name, when they would overwrite existing items.
+10This has now been released in FME 2023.1. Some final polish going into FME 2023.2 which will be released shortly.
