We have done numerous project writing to SmallWorld PNI schema.

But we are always using the Spatialbiz plugin for SmallWorld in FME.

You can find information about the plugin on Spatialbiz plugin or via Support@Spatialbiz.com


 @fkemminje - After installing the GE Translators Suite / Module for Smallworld, there should be some instruction in the docs\ directory. 

This article might help you out – to initiate the Smallworld VMDS for connections, you must invoke the command to start connections using the Smallworld "command prompt".
