Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply. I will try splitting the steps into multiple test cases or continue using seperate DataSinks.
But I dont think your example with Notepad and Excel is a good analogy. Since the DataSinks execute one AFTER the other and not at the sametime, a more realistic analogy of the scenario would be,
1. Open CSV in Excel, make changes, save and close.
2. Open CSV in Notepad, make changes, save and close.
... in which case everything work fine, unlike our DataSinks.
Moreover, in the scenario you described, Notepad will not be able to write to the file at all. Where as with DataSinks, the second DataSink overwrites whatever data the first one saved.

Is there a workaround for this without having to maintain multiple excel files??
