Write features as they are read

Hello

I have a workbench that reads a dataset from a smallworld database and writes it to a ESRI File Geodatabse using the api writer.

Everything works properly but it runs very slowly. I have noticed that FME is reading in all the features( > 1 million) and then writing them. Is there a way to get the features to write as they get to the writer? I have played around with the "Features to write per transaction" setting but this doesn't seem to help.

Try using the FeatureWriter rather than a regular writer, it's a bit more "intelligent" in how it empties its buffers.
