The name of a feature type always sets the name of the output file.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. It depends on the writer
• D. Only for certain writers

Answer: (B)

In FME, who decides the output file name is the writer's configuration, not automatic from the feature type name. While many writers default to naming the dataset after the feature type, you can override that by explicitly setting the dataset name, using a workspace parameter, or deriving the name from attributes or other logic. That means the feature type name does not always determine the output file name, so the statement is false. For instance, you can route multiple feature types into the same file or choose a fixed file name independent of the feature type, depending on how you configure the writer.
