Which dialog would you use to configure the attributes of a writer feature type?

• A. The reader feature type dialog
• B. The writer feature type dialog
• C. The Transformer Gallery
• D. The Navigator's writer entry

Answer: (B)

Configuring what a writer outputs is done through the writer feature type dialog. This dialog defines the writer’s output schema, including the attributes that will be written, their names and data types, and how input attributes map to those output fields. It’s where you set up how the data is actually written to the target format, including any output-specific settings. The reader feature type dialog serves a different purpose: it configures how the input data is read and interpreted. The Transformer Gallery is a collection of processing tools you can insert into the workflow, not a place to configure writer attributes. The Navigator’s writer entry is simply a navigation point in the workspace tree for managing the writer, not a configuration surface.
