Streamlining Transformer Upgrade

When updating several workspaces including several custom transformers, I’d love to see these enhancements to make upgrading faster:

  • Upgrade all the transformers inside embedded custom transformers from the Main view. Now the user has to go to each custom transformer tab, and upgrade the transformers separately.
  • Disable warning when upgrading multiple transformers, and automatically create a backup. Many users are already aware of the risks. Perhaps add an option to disable it in FME Options.
  • Disable Transformer Upgrade report. You could similarly disable the report in FME Options with an option to automatically export the upgrade report.

Hope to see these enhancements in a future FME version!

A few of our customers were complaining exactly these issues when I met then recently.

Hi ​@geolassi, thanks for sharing your pain points.

You can actually update all transformers inside a custom transformer — just go to the Custom Transformer tab, right-click on Upgradable Transformer from the navigator, and select Upgrade All Transformers.

Hi Jenna, thank you, although it would be nice to do that in the Main tab. At the moment I have to open all the custom transformer tabs separately.
