Hi,

I’m using the FME Server API to perform an audit and cleanup. I can use the API to retrieve lists of users, workspaces, and workbenches. Separately, I can also get a list of connections.

I want to check if any of these connections are now redundant after the recent cleanup. Is there a way to link connection names to the workbenches they are used in, so I can identify and remove unused connections?

I can’t see a way to do this via the API. The only approach I can think of is to download all the .fmw files and then read them in FME Desktop using the .fmw reader.

Any help or alternative suggestions would be appreciated, ideally all within the api.

Thanks!!

Which version of FME are you using? There is an fmeapiv4 call you can use to get dependencies for an automation or workspace or app etc. 

 

Connections are returned as  dependency of type ‘connection’
