I’m trying to write features to an esri feature service, but getting “fatal errors” from the feature service that is causing the entire FME workspace to fail. I should be allowed to decide what to do if a “fatal error”, much in the same way that I can choose how to handle rejected features (Terminate Translation or Continue Translation).

FME should just “fail” that single request and continue writing features out.

 

Examples of where this would be useful:

Agreed.  While it’s a major error for the reader or writer/feature writer we as authors be positioned to decide what should be ‘fatal’ to a process and what should not.

Ignore failed readers has been a feature for a long time, though it’s not always effective, so ignore failed writers/feature writers should be an option.
