Explanation

In Maximo's integration framework, endpoints specify the destination for outbound integrations - they define where data is sent when Maximo communicates with an external system, such as a URL, queue, or service address along with connection properties like host and port.

• A is wrong because URL mappings are not the primary function of endpoints; Maximo uses other configuration objects (like services and handlers) to map operations - endpoints focus on the target destination, not routing logic.
• B is wrong because data format (XML, JSON, etc.) is controlled by object structures and message processing configuration, not endpoints.
• D is wrong because authentication is handled at the handler or channel level, or via external security configuration - endpoints point to destinations, they don't govern auth methods.

Memory tip: Think of an endpoint like a postal address on an envelope - it tells Maximo where to deliver the message, not what's inside it or how to seal it. "End" = the destination at the end of the outbound path.
