To produce a zip file output for file-based and folder-based datasets, you just have to add ".zip" to the end of the Destination File/Folder parameter.

To produce a zip file output for file-based and folder-based datasets, you just have to add ".zip" to the end of the Destination File/Folder parameter.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on the dataset
• D. Always

Answer: (A)

In FME, the destination path extension determines the output format. Adding ".zip" to the Destination File/Folder parameter signals the ZIP writer to create a single compressed archive, producing a zip file for your file-based or folder-based datasets. This means the results are packaged into that archive rather than written as an ordinary folder or uncompressed files. If you omit the ".zip" extension, you’ll get an uncompressed output instead of a ZIP file.
