What is the main purpose of a repository in FME Flow?

• A. A folder to hold workspaces and their associated content.
• B. A folder to hold workspace data.
• C. A folder to hold FME Server Web connections.
• D. A folder to hold output data.

Answer: (A)

In FME Flow, a repository acts as a central library for your automation assets. Its main purpose is to hold the workspaces themselves and all related content needed to run them—transformers, connections, and any resources those workspaces reference. By keeping the workspace and its associated content together in one place, you can version, share, deploy, and execute workflows consistently within FME Flow and on FME Server. It’s not just a folder for data, web connections, or output data; those items are part of a workspace’s resources, but the repository’s broader role is to organize the complete workspace and everything it needs to function.
