Workspace Design

A basic workspace in FME is constructed and laid out strictly to the concept of ETL: Extract-Transform-Load

However, there are multiple other methods for constructing more advanced workspaces, and for directing the flow of data through a workspace in unique ways.

Some example uses for these techniques might be:

• To design large-scale workspaces a small section at a time
• To read data from multiple formats within a single workspace
• To carry out actions after a dataset has been written
• To use data stored on web services
• To test run individual parts of a workspace
