Deployment Parameters

Deployment parameters are created and stored in FME Flow. Deployment parameters provide a central store to define and reuse common parameter settings for text strings, database connections, and web connections between FME Workbench and FME Flow. If you have access to an FME Flow with a Deployment Parameter Store, you can use deployment parameters anywhere in FME Workbench that requires a parameter for defining a text string, database connection, or web connection.

The deployment parameters to which you have access depend on the active connection to your FME Flow. For more information, see Connecting to FME Flow.

If your workspace uses deployment parameters, they appear in the Navigator like this:

Why Use Deployment Parameters?

Deployment parameters allow workspaces that are uploaded to FME Flow to be migrated easily between different enterprise development environments (for example, between the development, test, and production stages). By referencing deployment parameters in workspaces, the configuration in each environment is automatically picked up, ensuring smooth workflow transitions.
