Hey all,

After upgrading from the 2024 to 2025 version, I noticed my workbench break. After doing some investigating I noticed that the PointOnAreaOverlayer transformer handles attributes differently.

On the 2024 version the attributes of joined datasets would come through as ‘exposed’ attributes.

In the 2025 version, these attributes were pushed into the unexposed attributes:

Is this by design? Why the change?

The properties of the transformer are exactly the same between the two versions.

 

It isn’t the end of the world as I can use the attribute exposer to make it work. I was just also wondering is it normal that workbenches may break after major release changes? As this has now occurred after each last 2 major changes.

Hi ​@tiztrain ,

I suppose you are using FME 2025.0.0 or 2025.0.1 and you encountered one of Known Issues in FME.

Fortunately the issue has been resolved in 2025.0.2. Consider upgrading the version of FME.

 


That would be it. We are using the Data Interoperability version which is tied with ArcGIS Pro so might be hard to upgrade. Will log it with Esri and see what they say.
