Thanks for the help in advance and happy holidays everyone.

I am running the SystemCaller to undertake a particular task, it takes a while and FME runs it multiple times.

The issues is I need FME to continue only after system caller has completely finished all the tasks.

Can someone please suggest a work around, I have tried a counter but not having much luck with it at the moment.

Thank you

Oliver

@erik_jan is right, but if you need to wait for completion of all the tasks performed by entering multiple features to the SystemCaller, insert a FeatureHolder after the SystemCaller.

The SystemCaller transformer causes the workspace to wait until the call is finished.

That is the default behavior of the transformer.

See SystemCaller for the documentation.
