All FME workspaces must have multiple streams of data.

All FME workspaces must have multiple streams of data.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

In FME, a workspace describes a data flow that can be linear or branched. There is no requirement to have multiple streams. A simple workspace can read data, pass it through a few transformers, and write it to a single output, which is a single stream of features moving through the chain. Multiple streams only appear when you intentionally branch the flow—duplicating features or routing them to different writers or outputs. That branching is useful for parallel paths or handling different outputs, but it’s optional. So the statement is not correct because workspaces do not have to produce multiple streams.
