Can you create an FDI instance without specifying the Fusion Applications data source URL?

• A. No, you can't create your FDI instance without specifying the fusion application data source
• B. Yes, you can create but it will be read-only
• C. Yes, you can, but need placeholder
• D. No, you must provide a default URL

Answer: (A)

FDI needs a Fusion Applications data source URL to establish a connection to the Fusion Apps environment. That URL specifies the target environment (host, port, and endpoint) where the application metadata, security, and data operations are handled. Without this URL, the FDI instance has nothing to connect to, so it cannot initialize. The ideas of creating it in a read-only mode or with a placeholder assume an actual endpoint will be available later, which isn’t meaningful if there’s no real destination to connect to. There isn’t a universal default URL—you must provide the specific Fusion Applications data source URL for your environment.
