Updating readers can be used to update the reader version if you have upgraded FME and/or to reload the dataset to add new feature types.

• A. FALSE
• B. TRUE
• C. CANNOT TELL
• D. BOTH TRUE AND FALSE

Answer: (B)

Readers interpret input data formats and expose their features to the workspace. When you upgrade FME, the reader plugins can be updated to support newer formats and schemas. Updating a reader in your workspace switches it to the newer version, enabling the workspace to use the updated capabilities and to refresh its understanding of the data when you reload it. If the source has gained new feature types, re-reading with the updated reader will discover these new types, allowing you to process or route them accordingly. So updating readers can reflect a newer reader version after an FME upgrade and can reload the dataset to incorporate newly added feature types.
