Which of the following is NOT a valid method for managing source data in FME?

• A. Stored Web Connections
• B. Publishing file datasets to a repository
• C. Stored Resources Connections
• D. Stored Database Connections

Answer: (C)

In FME, connecting to source data is done through explicit connection objects that describe how to reach and authenticate to the data. Stored Web Connections capture the details for web services you access from a workspace, including the endpoint and auth settings. Stored Database Connections hold the server, database, and login information so the workspace can access tables without embedding credentials. Publishing file datasets to a repository provides a way to share and reuse data definitions across projects by storing the dataset in a central repository.

Stored Resources Connections isn’t a recognized mechanism for pointing a workspace to its data sources. Resources are not used as data-source connections, so this type isn’t appropriate for managing where data comes from.
