It is possible to remove "FME_MF_DIR" from User Parameters?

My parameter says this.

$(FME_MF_DIR)\\CF\\PNM.sde

But I want it to say this.

C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Desktop\\CF\\PNM.sde

 

Can this be done? This is a problem because it breaks the connection when the workbench is put in different folder.

If your .sde is in the same folder as the workspace is saved, move the .sde to a different folder. FME searches the folder the workspace resides in for source files and uses $(FME_MF_DIR) if one is found...which is helpful in some cases, but not in others. More info here: FME_MF_DIR predefined parameter (macro) (safe.com)
