Hello all!

I am excited that, in FME Desktop 2015, it is possible the control the order in which multiple creators run - and it is also possible to set the order in which readers are initiated. However, can I cross pollinate?

 

 

I have a workspace (image attached) that contains two separate processes. One process is initiated by a creator, then runs a custom transformer (the ControlTableCaller - also shown in attached image). The other process is initiated by an Oracle Spatial reader. I need to make sure that the Creator-initiated process ALWAYS completes before the reader starts reading.

This is a small part of a larger process, so I would like to avoid placing these in separate workspaces if possible. Is there another way to control the order?

Thank you!!

Courtney

Can you use the Initiator output from the ControlTableCaller to initiate another sqlexecutor to read the spatial data currently read by the spatial reader?

I think you *should* be safe, because your custom transformer contains no blocking (group-based) transformers. So there's no need for the data to stop processing and let the reader in.

Having said that, to be absolutely certain you would do as @egomm says, and use the output from the custom transformer to initiate reading data. Use either a sqlexecutor, or - more likely - a FeatureReader transformer.
