***Note from Migration:***

Original Title was: Streaming writer output from one workspace directly to a reader on another ala Unix/Linux pipelines


There should be a way to send the output from a writer on one workspace directly to a reader on another workspace in realtime, much like pipes work in Unix/Linux. That way, each feature generated by one workspace can be immediately read and processed by the next without waiting for the entire set of features to be written, provided you have enough available cores on Desktop or engines on Server/Cloud to support these workspaces running concurrently. This would also allow a very natural, visualizable data-flow capability in Server Automations. It would be much more efficient than launching a workspace with parameters for each event coming out of an FME Server Automations Writer, as you only launch the receiving workspace once.

But the Automations Writer doesn't write its results feature-by-feature to an already-running next workspace in the Automation. Not the same thing. An option to do this would be most helpful to speed Autmations along, so long as you have the engines to do it.
