Test Running Data Virtualization Workspaces

Workspaces equipped with a Data Virtualization reader and writer, and downloaded from FME Flow Data Virtualization, provide an interface for testing workspaces with a JSON template of the incoming request for data from the specified endpoint. The template can be entirely customized, or populated from a preexisting sample data request.

Alternatively, you can access sample data by configuring the data access parameters of the Data Virtualization reader.
