Hi,
I created some user parameters and want to set their values programmatically some time later (when some data is processed). Is this possible? Or I must set their values initially?

FME configures user parameters before starting the translation, and their values cannot be changed in the workflow later.
Could always break the workbench into two.
One bit is creating the parameters which then is to be passed into the 2nd workbench using the workbench runner

You can work with 2 workspaces. The first one ("The Controler") will be used to set the parameters of the other(s) workspace(s) ("The worker(s)") based on what you want. To trigger a worker, use the WorkspaceRunner transformer in the controler

You can work with attribute values instead of parameters if you want to make it more dynamic?

@tforward no they cannot be deleted during runtime (in this aplication at least and afaik)
(You can fiddle and add some code to actually do that no doubt.)

But another possibility is to use environment variables, you can set and read them using fme.
I use that to create user variables by fme and have some batch file proces stuff or and visa versa.
