This may be more of an idea for an FME enhancement but I'm curious to know if anyone thinks this is possible, or if there's a way to do it...
I want to create a truly generic/dynamic workflow. The source and target data and schema requirements can be driven by database tables, as can reprojection requirements. The majority of the time this will likely be sufficient to achieve what we need, however, there may be cases in which a simple source->target mapping is insufficient and we need some custom ETL transformations. Is there any way that the name of a custom transformer can be passed in as a parameter at runtime and have that transformer called during processing?
This functionality could be partially met by using the WorkspaceRunner or the FMEServerJobSubmitter but both of those transformers fire up a whole new translation for each feature that enters them. What I really need is a "TransformerRunner" transformer. Something that can dynamically include a (custom) transformer into a workspace at runtime...
