In which section of the FME Workbench Navigator can you create and manage published parameters?

• A. Reader and Writer Parameters
• B. Workspace Parameters
• C. User Parameters
• D. Transformers

Answer: (C)

Published parameters are values you want someone running the workspace to supply at runtime. In the Workbench Navigator, these are managed in the User Parameters section. This area is specifically designed to hold parameters that end users or automated processes can set when executing the workspace, including their names, data types, default values, and descriptions, and then publish them so they appear in the runtime interface. This keeps runtime inputs separate from IO-specific settings (Reader/Writer Parameters) and from transformer configurations, while Workspace Parameters relate to defaults used during authoring rather than runtime input. So the User Parameters section is where you create and manage published parameters.
