FME Form drops Deployment Parameters (Password) after editing Reader/Writer

Hi team,

I’ve noticed a bug within FME 2024.2.1 (Build 24801)… 

When I’m building out a workspace and reference a Password Deployment Parameter in a reader. If I edit that or any other Reader or Writer under the Navigator (i.e. Right Click, Update Reader, make changes and click OK), it will drop the Password Deployment Parameter, anywhere they are referenced.

Text based Deployment parameters remain, but it just drops the Password based Deployment Parameters.

 

Has anyone else seen this issue?

 

Once they’re all set and we publish, it seems to retain them, but it’s only after we update the Reader and Feature Types.

Hello, ​@cory!

Thanks for posting to the community! Interesting occurrence. Which parameters do you have set for the Password Deployment parameters (if your able to)? We’ll see if we can try to reproduce the issue for you (and if other parameters have any effect) and possibly file a bug for this.

Thanks and cheers!

Hi ​@AliAtSafe 

we’re using the;

  • Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service (Reader and Writers)
  • Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service (Reader and Writers)

We’re setting the Password parameter as a deployment parameter, so that we can easily change this password for external services (saving us change the password manually on over 200 workspaces).

If we set the password parameter as a deployment parameter, but then go and right click on the Reader or Writer and select Update Reader/Writer, make changes and then select Update Reader and Feature Types, the User deployment parameter remains but the Password deployment parameter is dropped, on all Readers and Writers.

Hi, ​@cory.

Thank you for your patience, just got back to this. Thanks for explaining this in more detail. Could you provide a sample workspace that has these set up? Doesn’t have to be your main workspace. It’ll be easier to repro. Thank you.
