Many workspaces that are run from FME Server require you to connect and authenticate to a web or database service.For example, a workspace that contains an HTTPCaller transformer may require you to authenticate to a web service, such as Google Drive, by providing your user name and password.As another example, a workspace that contains an Oracle Spatial Relational reader requires you to provide a service name, username, and password to connect to an Oracle Spatial Relational dataset.
FME Server 2017 allows you to securely store and reference the authentication parameters to these web services and databases as self-contained objects, in the same manner as they can be stored in FME Workbench.The Database Connections page and Web Connections page provides a convenient and secure way to manage them.
When you run a workspace from FME Server that requires a connection, you can reference the connection name, rather than re-entering the connection parameters.If the connection parameters change, you can edit them in one place, rather than in each workspace that uses the connection.
