Creating a published user parameter within a custom transformer also causes any workspaces that contain the custom transformer to have that published user parameter.

Creating a published user parameter within a custom transformer also causes any workspaces that contain the custom transformer to have that published user parameter.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on workspace
• D. Only in the transformer dialog

Answer: (B)

Published parameters are defined on the custom transformer itself, but workspaces don’t automatically gain new parameters just because you added them. A workspace references a specific version of the transformer, so you must update or replace the transformer in that workspace to bring in the new published parameter. Until you do, the new parameter won’t appear or be configurable in that workspace. Once the workspace uses the updated transformer, you can set the new parameter’s value there.
