A user would like to run a workspace that requires a web connection in FME Server, how can they proceed?

• A. Select from a dropdown list of all Server's uploaded web connections
• B. Enter their username and password at runtime
• C. Select a web connection they created or have access to
• D. Run the workspace without specifying; it will default to the original workspace web connection

Answer: (A)

Web connections are server-managed resources that store the credentials and settings a workspace needs to access a web service. When you run a workspace on FME Server that requires one, you select the specific web connection to use from a dropdown that lists all web connections uploaded to the Server. This keeps credentials centralized and reusable, and avoids entering usernames or passwords at runtime. The workspace won’t automatically use a default connection—you must pick one of the server’s available connections.
