What is the purpose of using FME Flow resource parameters in a workspace?

• A. To improve reading and writing speeds on FME Flow.
• B. To use values based on the server running the workspace to control reading and writing locations.
• C. To validate workspaces running using FME Workbench.
• D. To manage dynamic engines.

Answer: (B)

Flow resource parameters let you inject dynamic, server-determined values into a workspace at run time. When a workspace runs in FME Flow, the server can supply specific paths or settings through these parameters. This means the same workspace can read data from different locations and write outputs to appropriate folders depending on where it’s executed, without editing the workspace itself. For example, you can define a resource parameter for the input base path and another for the output base path, and configure your reader and writer to use those parameters. At run time, the Flow server resolves them to actual paths (or cloud locations) based on the environment. This is why the option describes using values based on the server running the workspace to control reading and writing locations.
