Is there a way to enable feature caching between sessions, so that the workspace doesn't need to be re-run after closing Workbench? Thank you.

Save your workspace as a template (.fmwt) (File > Save as Template...) and include feature caches:

templatethen just open the template the next day. Your caches should be there for you.

@townest​  This is when judicious use of collapsed bookmarks is helpful. When you collapse a bookmark, feature caching for all the contents of the bookmark is turned off, so this will significantly improve performance, but also save on disk space when you store your workspace with caches as @tomf​ suggests.

Thanks @tomf​ and @Mark Stoakes​. If I do use the fmwt what is the best practice for converting back to fmw? Thanks again. Tyler

@townest​ just open the fmwt in FME Workbench and it'll open the cache files.
