Any chance the ability to refresh dataset definitions has been implemented yet in FME? I have lots of changes in SDE that I need to have updated in a number of different workbench files and I just want to know if there is an easy way to do it.

BTW, I just now checked fmepedia and this request has already been added to the user suggestion area in Workbench and has two PR numbers assigned to it. That must mean it is already in the development stage :-) Cheers, Scott -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark2atsafe Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 1:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [fme] Re: Source and Destination dataset updates I'm afraid this is correct. I don't know if Jason's request is registered but I know that the idea is logged in our database (for extra attention add it to the user suggestions page on fmepedia). If it's a case of a new attribute then perhaps try the attributeExposer - it may be the attribute is still read and this will be a way to make it appear (don't guarantee it though).
