Where are dataset fanout settings configured?

• A. Navigator writer parameters
• B. Reader settings dialog
• C. Data Inspector preferences
• D. Global options

Answer: (A)

Dataset fanout is a writer-level setting that decides how many separate output datasets the writer will produce from the incoming data. You configure it in the writer’s parameters, accessed via the Navigator by selecting the writer and opening its Parameters. This is the right place because fanout affects only the writer’s output structure, not input sources, viewing preferences, or global defaults. The Reader settings dialog configures inputs, Data Inspector preferences affect how results are viewed, and Global options are general system-wide defaults.
