How to run only 1 part of a workspace?


Forum|alt.badge.img
I have a test workspace which im using to build a workflow. I find it quite irritating to select the transformers which I DONT want to run, so I can test the results of others. Is it possible (other than having to disable transformers) to have multiple workspaces? Is there not a way to just define which areas should run by selecting them?

Hi,

 

 

I don't think there is a function for running a workspace partially.

 

As the second best, if you partition the workspace into some parts by bookmarks, you can disable/enable every transformer for each bookmark.

 

Right-click on a bookmark on Canvas or Navigator, and select "Disable (Enable) All Objects in Bookmark" command.

If I am testing a specifc part of my workbench (especially if it takes a long time to get data to that point e.g. recently had a python script I was testing but took 15 minutes to get data to the pythoncaller), I write the data out to FFS at the point(s) immediately prior to that area (no attributes to set). Then I can add a FFS reader at that same point and disable all the other readers and writers. Works nicely and saves lots of time!
