Hi everybody,

I would like to be able to share a common list of publish parameters accross several workspaces.

For instance, use the same 10 published parameters name within 66 workspaces. And update new name easily.

To do so, I though to make a list of these 10 parameters name in a txt file (could be any format) and to read this list in all of my 20 workspaces.

I will then compare this list with one of the current workspace parameter. I will use the FME workspace reader to get a list of the current parameters. The comparison of these two lists will allow to dynamically know which publish parameters are already within the workspace.

Then I only miss to have a FME workspace writer to create, on the fly, the missing parameters.

I hope you will find this idea useful, and that you will vote for it :)

All the best,

Aurélien

I would find this useful. I could use this for searching and replacing missing attributes, e.g. if the source schema has been updated.


I have the feeling having a WorkspaceWriter along the new WorkspaceReader would provide a lot of possibilities. The Reader has already spawned some innovative usage since it was released. Having no WorkspaceWriter feels like something is missing, as the possible workflows in my head, with workspaces as FME-objects, sometimes have an open ending.

Definitely looking forward to what Safe comes up with, when they start a creative project under the name 'WorkspaceWriter'. I am sure I will find some use for it.
