What is the role of a Data Upload custom transformer in the workspace?

• A. It enables ingestion of data via the Data Upload service
• B. It transcodes video to GIF
• C. It compresses datasets
• D. It schedules uploads

Answer: (A)

Understanding how data moves from an FME workspace into an external ingestion service is key here. The Data Upload custom transformer is designed to bridge that gap, taking the data produced in the workspace and sending it into the Data Upload service so it can be ingested downstream. It handles the connection to the service and the transfer step, making the data available for ingestion without requiring you to build the transfer logic from scratch. This is specifically about enabling ingestion via the Data Upload service, not about video transcoding, compressing datasets, or scheduling uploads.
