Which component is used to obtain the destination schema for a dynamic writer?

Explanation:
In a dynamic writer, the output structure must be known so the writer can create the right fields for each destination as you write data. The Schema Sources parameter is the mechanism that tells the writer where to obtain that destination schema. By pointing it to a source (such as an existing schema definition or the input feature schemas), the dynamic writer can build the correct field definitions for each destination on the fly. The other components don’t provide the destination schema: the Generator merely creates features, the AttributeManager changes or adds attributes on features but doesn’t define the overall destination schema, and the Writer’s default encoding handles text encoding, not the structure of the destination schema.
