The Generic Writer will handle changes in the source dataset's schema by default.

• A. True
• B. Not specified
• C. N/A
• D. False

Answer: (D)

In FME, a writer writes output according to the feature type (the defined set of attributes and geometry) it has at run time. The Generic Writer does not automatically adapt to changes in the source dataset’s schema. If the upstream data adds or drops attributes, the writer will not automatically reconfigure itself to accommodate those changes; you must adjust the workspace to align the writer’s schema with the incoming data—either by refreshing the writer’s feature type or by using transformers to create, rename, or remove attributes so the destination schema remains consistent. This is why the statement is false: schema changes are not handled by default without explicit setup.
