SQL Server Execute SP, then reader from output table is locked

Hi,

I have been using the sql executor to run a sql server stored procedure which populates a table, I then try to use a feature reader to read from the table that has just been populated. Alas it times out. If I do either of these components separately it works leading me to believe FME is holding the connection open to sql server and creating a lock on the table, so that when the reader tries to read it can't. I am using the SQL Server JDBC Client. I will try with the Native Client but this will mean I can't use it with fme cloud which is what it is intended for.

 

Has anyone else had this issue? Working log and failing log are attached.

Many Thanks as always

Hi @olivermorris,

Try adding a COMMIT after your stored procedure invocation.  For example, your SQLExecutor would contain something like the following:

FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;
EXEC	[dbo].[SP_API_EXPORT_PS_SR]
		@modules = ...;
COMMIT;

Note the semi-colon after your EXEC.  The explicit commit will hopefully release any locks obtained by the stored procedure.

(In general, SQLExecutor doesn't auto-commit anything to allow manual control over transactions.)

Wwith the feature reader I think it is JDBC only so I dont think I can use the native client driver in any case.
