A visual compare and diff between two workspaces. Which transformers, readers and writers are added changed or deleted. Compare two workspaces and tell the differences in color.

Identify Differences Between Two Versions of Same Workspace by mark_f on November 6, 2015

Currently difficult to compare two versions of the same Workspace. You can use a standard diff tool on the FMW files but there are often too many minor changes in the file to identify the real differences.

FME workspace compare tool by ynaphade on January 25, 2016

After seeing the demo of workbench reader, I was thinking we may need some tool to compare 2 versions of FME workbench to see what changes developer has done. we can do text compare but if developer just moved the transformer there is more noise and facts.

Hi @stalknecht,

 

 

We are kicking off a project to improve our understanding of our users' needs and challenges, when it comes to managing different workspace versions. We would love to chat with you. Your input will have a direct impact on FME's future.

 

If you have 20-30 minutes to chat between April 13th - 15th, please pick a time on this form.

 

 

In addition to helping us shape FME's future, you'll also be taking part in a fun Safe tradition: "Innovation Daze". As some of you may know, every year around this time, Safers spend a week working on projects they normally don't have time to work on. Many of FME's great innovations are results of the work we do during "Innovation Daze". See this blog, if you want to learn more about this tradition. It's Innovation Daze at Safe this coming week. And, one of our projects' goal is to better understand our users' needs and challenges around workspace version management. So, by talking to us, next week, you'll be joining us in this fun Safe tradition!

I've tested it in FME(R) 2022.0.0.0 (20220120 - Build 22268 - WIN64) 

It's intuitive and I love the ability to merge!

Thanks for realizing this idea

Now that this idea is built into the Beta, we'd love to get your input to help plan future improvements.

We are looking to hear from anyone who has the need to compare workspaces, regardless of whether you've tried the new feature "Compare and Merge" or not. If you are following this idea, we want your input. 😀

Please complete this short survey to help us understand your needs and expectations for comparing workspaces.

(Note: The same survey will also be shared with Safe Partners and FME Explorers. You only need to fill it out once.)
