+16Ran into an error that I don't know how to approach. The full report line is:
ERROR |Cannot have multiple factories with the same name. Multiple factories were assigned the name 'blablabla Output Collector'
What does this mean and where should I start looking to solve this? I might ad that this error showed up suddenly. I tried to remove the most recent changes but it persists.
+2The same thing just happened to me, with FME 2021.2.
In my case, the problematic factory name mentioned in the message was something like “CustomTransformer1_CustomTransformer2_AttributeCreator_3” . There was only one AttributeCreator with the name “AttributeCreator_3” in the custom transformer I was working in.
I ran a few times and the error was repeatable. Eventually I renamed my “AttributeCreator_3” to “AttributeCreator_34265” and the error disappeared. But in your case, I wouldn’t know how to rename an Output Collector.
