Smallworld to MS SQL Spatial (JDBC) fails to write any features

I am trying to write from Smallworld 4.3, using FME 2018 build 18301 and the MS SQL Spatial (JDBC) writer. The writer creates the new table ok, but when it tries to write the features I get the following error: “C:\\apps\\FME2018\\metafile\\mssql_jdbc_spatial_.fmi could not be opened”. If I look in this directory there are 3 .fmi files that start with mssql_jdbc_spatial_, ie Destination, geommap, & Source. I presume FME is looking for some sort of parameter value, and trying to make some decision on which of these 3 files to use, however I can’t see any missing parameters in my mapping file. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks Neal

Since posting this question, I have since found inserting a "generalizer" between the reader and writer seems to fix the issue.
