I am trying to upgrade my application from FME2009 to FME2015. The problem I'm running into is it seems like the parameters I set are not being used in the actual transformer. Instead, the default values from the transformer definition are being used. Specifically, the source and destination coordinate system names are not being applied.
Setting the parameters in this way worked perfectly when my application was linked against FME2009.
Code excerpt:
StringCollection directives = new StringCollection();
directives.Add(Safe.FMEObjects.Constants.TransformerManager.CreateTransformerDirectives.SerializationString);
parameters = String.Format("\"SOURCE_COORDSYS,{0},XFORMER_NAME,SpineClipTransformer,DEST_COORDSYS,{1}\"", sourceCSys, destCSys);
directives.Add(String.Format("NAME,SpineClipTransformer,VERSION,0,PARAMETER_VALUES,{0},INPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,INPUT_FILTERS,,INPUT_ATTRS,,OUTPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS,", parameters));
transformer = fme.TransformerManager().CreateTransformer(directives);
When I execute this code I can see from the logs that the default values are being used.

I found the IFMEOTransformer.Serialize method and ran it after I instantiated the transformer.
My directive: NAME,SpineClipTransformer,VERSION,0,PARAMETER_VALUES,"SOURCE_COORDSYS,LL-GDA94,XFORMER_NAME,SpineClipTransformer,DEST_COORDSYS,MGA94-50",INPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,INPUT_FILTERS,,INPUT_ATTRS,,OUTPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS,
IFMEOTransformer.Serialize() output: NAME,SpineClipTransformer,VERSION,1,PARAMETER_VALUES,"__COMPOUND_PARAMETERS,,XFORMER_NAME,SpineClipTransformer,TRANSFORMER_GROUP,",INPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,INPUT_FILTERS,,INPUT_ATTRS,,OUTPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS,
Attempting to follow this format (without knowing anything about it), I changed my directive to: NAME,SpineClipTransformer,VERSION,1,PARAMETER_VALUES,"__COMPOUND_PARAMETERS,SOURCE_COORDSYS,LL-GDA94,XFORMER_NAME,SpineClipTransformer,DEST_COORDSYS,MGA94-50,TRANSFORMER_GROUP,",INPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,INPUT_FILTERS,,INPUT_ATTRS,,OUTPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS,
New IFMEOTransformer.Serialize() output: NAME,SpineClipTransformer,VERSION,1,PARAMETER_VALUES,"__COMPOUND_PARAMETERS,SOURCE_COORDSYS,XFORMER_NAME,SpineClipTransformer,TRANSFORMER_GROUP,",INPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,INPUT_FILTERS,,INPUT_ATTRS,,OUTPUT_FEATURE_TYPES,,OUTPUT_FUNCTIONS,
