• A. True
• B. Not required
• C. Not possible
• D. False

Answer: (D)

The ability to access data from the Shared Resources folder is built into how FME locates files, so you don’t have to type the full path with the environment variable. When data is placed in the Resources/Data folder, FME can resolve that data automatically at run time. In practice, you can browse to the file or reference it with a workspace parameter (storing just the filename), and FME will fill in the correct path. The $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) macro is available if you want to construct the path yourself, but it isn’t required.
