About Feature Inspection

Feature inspection allows you to analyze features in real time as they move through the workspace, significantly reducing the amount of time required to author and test a workspace. Feature inspection is a useful alternative to examining the translation log or routing output to Inspector transformers.

To take advantage of feature inspection, use the following options from the FME Workbench Run menu or Toolbar:

  • Enable Feature Caching (Ctrl+F5): Run all or part of a workspace and inspect features at select output ports.
  • Stop at Breakpoints (Ctrl+Shift+F5): Run a workspace and inspect data one feature at a time, pausing between features (Feature Inspector).
