Except using "Daves method"?
It would be very handy to have an option on the FeatureHolder like this:
- Wait for Writers (YES/NO).
This would be very handy on FMEServer to be able to WRITE some features, then do some more Custom Transformers and then WRITE some other features to another WRITER. The alternative way is to create separate workspaces for each and use either a WorkspaceRunner or FMEServerWorkspaceRunner, however this creates the need for saving and loading features inbetween the Workspaces.
Another option would be for the FMEServerWorkspaceRunner to also work on FMEServer when selecting "Wait for Result" to not worry about the line:
"When you run a workspace on FME Server that contains this transformer, and the workspace sends a job to the same FME Server that is running the original workspace: depending on the availability of FME Engines, the original workspace may never finish."
