FME Hub Transformer Deprecations

Introduction

Over time, some transformers on FME Hub are deprecated due to changes in underlying libraries, enhancements in functionality, renaming for clarity, or because they have been integrated directly into FME. This article provides a list of deprecated custom transformers created by Safe Software, including when they were deprecated and their recommended replacements. If you were using one of these transformers, refer to the replacement details to ensure a smooth transition in your workflows. This list is only for Safe Software created items on FME Hub. For a list of deprecated built-in features, see FME Deprecations. 

 

If a workspace is currently using a deprecated transformer, it should still work as long as the underlying library still works. To install a deprecated transformer, it can be downloaded directly from the FME Hub, see the documentation. 

Web services do not have versions, if they have been removed from FME Hub, you will not see them in any version of FME.
