How is a web connection selected for a workspace on FME Server?

• A. Select a web connection you created or have access to
• B. Enter a username and password at runtime
• C. Run without specifying and use default
• D. Use a built-in no-connection mode

Answer: (A)

Selecting a web connection means choosing a pre-configured set of endpoint and credential details that the workspace will use to access a web service. On FME Server, you pick one from the web connections you’ve created or that you have permission to use when you run or schedule the workspace. This is the mechanism that provides the necessary authentication and connection information for the workspace to access external web resources. The other options don’t fit because credentials aren’t entered at runtime for each run, there isn’t a default that applies automatically, and there isn’t a built-in no-connection mode—the workspace requires a defined web connection to operate.
