Flat File Wizard

A developer has used the Flat File Wizard to create a fixed-width flat file source definition. This source definition is used in several mappings. The next day, she discovers that the actual flat file that will be accessed by the Informatica server will be comma delimited. What action, if any, should be taken?

Choose Answer

(A)
No action need be taken provided the new file format is valid.
(B)
Edit the Source definition properties to make them correct and save the changes to the repository.
(C)
Launch the Flat File Wizard using the Source definition and edit the properties to make them correct. Save the changes to the repository.
(D)
Delete the Source definition, save the repository, re-import it using the Flat File Wizard and define the properties to make them correct. Add the new Source definition to the affected mappings and save the changes to the repository.
