Howdy!

Seems like this is an easy one but I couldn't find where this solution might be found in the Knowledge Base... my brains just not clicking today!

My Goal: Use the max value output from StatisticsCalculator, add one to get the next sequential value, use that value as the start value for a new Counter transformer. Background: Early in my FME workflow I use the Counter to tag each street intersection point feature/record with a unique ID, this gets stored in a field named "FME_CountID". Later in the workflow, I need to add new street intersection point features/records to those earlier records. Issue to resolve: For those new intersection point records I need to pick up the existing FME_CountID record numbering where it left off.

 

Thank you in advance!

If you use the same counter name as the previous counter, and have it set to global, it should just pick up where it left off.

 

 

EDIT: you just need to make sure that no features arrive at the second counter before they are all through the first counter. A featureHolder can handle that if there are no blocking transformers upstream.
