I'd like to understand what this error means in the following context and how I might go about resolving it.
I have a workspace that works perfectly fine if I run using cached features up to transformers just prior to a FeatureMerger then run from the FeatureMerger to a writer. However, when I try to run the entire workspace it results in an error that aborts the translation at the writer. I've also tried many other methods of joining these 2 streams and all are resulting in the same error output.
MULTI_WRITER: No MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{*} or MULTI_WRITER_TYPE{3} was specified
It seems like I need both streams to be ready at the FeatureMerger at the same time but I have not been able to gain control over execution order or block passthrough features through a variety of attempts. The goal is to read from both a CAD model and a DB, then compare the two datasets on a unique key, then write an SQL statement to a text file or SQLExecutor. I've only attempted this with the text file writer while the SQLExecutor was either disabled or disconnected from the stream.
Here is a snippet of the workspace up to the FeatureMerger:
And the remaining downstream:
