When publishing a workspace, are datasets automatically included?

• A. Only if configured
• B. Not guaranteed
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Datasets are not automatically included when you publish a workspace. A workspace is a set of instructions for transforming data, while the actual data lives in external locations (files, databases, etc.). The published workspace on the server contains the workflow, the readers and writers, and the connection details, but it does not bundle the data itself. To have the data available on the server, you must ensure the data is accessible at runtime (for example, by placing it in a shared location or updating the workspace’s connections), or you would need an explicit packaging step to include the data.
