Abstract
We calculate the rank and idempotent rank of the semigroup Ɛ(X,P) generated by the idempotents of the semigroup T(X,P) which consists of all transformations of the finite set X preserving a nonuniform partition P. We also classify and enumerate the idempotent generating sets of minimal possible size. This extends results of the first two authors in the uniform case.
