Known Issue: FME Flow Schedule Categories are Not Converted to Tags Upon Migration

Symptom

When migrating from an FME Flow version that uses Schedule Categories (pre-2023.0) to a version using Schedule Tags (2023.0+), categories will not automatically convert to tags. This also applies when importing an FME Flow project from a version prior to 2023.0.

Cause

Before 2023.0, the Schedules page used the V3 API. In 2023, it was upgraded to use the V4 API, which replaces the concept of categories with tags. As a result, when projects or backups are uploaded to versions 2023.0+, schedule categories are dropped since they no longer exist.

Workaround

The V3 API remains backwards compatible with projects and backups uploaded to versions 2023.0+. The V3 endpoints, such as GET /schedules/{category}/{name}, GET /schedules/categories, and GET /schedules, can still access schedule categories. It is possible to create a workspace that utilizes both the V3 and V4 endpoints to replace each schedule, uploading its category as a tag.
