Hi! I have a large workspace where I need to update a table with a status message. This means that I need to update the tables status even if no features are routed to the feature writer.

One way to do this is to use the NoFeaturesTester from the hub.

Thanks nielsgerrits, I will look at that one.

I think I solved my own problem now. There are probably many solutions but this seems to work.

If I use the creator from the beginning of the workspace and I merge it in the end then I can do a check to see if features are written or not.

The initiator port of a FeatureReader includes a matched_records attribute which is the count of how many features are read. Depending on the process, you can sometimes just test on this if anything matched.
