Thanks for your reply. Having specific format reader is good for one dataset type, in my case we are dealing with multiple formats. It turns out to be permission issue on file location which was causing reader to miss dataset reader

If you know what the input format is going to be you can specify that in the Generic Reader's parameters. That way FME doesn't have to guess.
