***Note from Migration:***

Original Title was: "Reject"port for writers changes to error log behavior with rejected features by writers


Currently, when features are rejected when writing a file, there is no way to tell until you open the file.

For example, if 51 features are passed by a transformer (and are visible in the inspector or other data formats), but 4 cannot be written to a specific writer (rejected), FME will still report

"51 features written, Transformation successful"

even though in actuality only 47 features are written.

I propose that the FME logger and workspace will say

"47 features written, 4 rejected by output file, Transformation successful"

Alternatively, the addition of a "reject" port for writers can also be a solution.

As there is no "reject" port for writers as there is with transformers, there is no way to tell without scrolling in the error log whether all features are written by a specific writer, until you open exported file in FME Data inspector.

This behavior is discussed in this thread with an example. https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/69542/missing-points-when-exporting-to-shapefile.html?childToView=69550#comment-69550
