Retrieving the name of an ArcGIS Online feature service

If you expose the arcgisfeatureservice_feature_url on the reader you should be able to get the Feature Service name from that

If you’re using an attribute to set the feature service to read in a feature reader you could also set merge initiator and result on the reader to maintain that attribute on the features read.

Thank you for that quick reaction! Unfortunately, that format attribute doesn't seem to be available. The list of format attributes lists only these:
 

(Note that I am dealing with a feature service in ArcGIS Online, not ArcGIS Server or Enterprise.)

Ah, I’ve assumed you were using the newer ArcGIS Feature Service reader which reads both AGOL and Enterprise.

I guess the availability of these parameters depends on FME, not on ArcGIS Online, right? Does the new connector provide this format attribute for ArcGIS Online feature services?

Yes, it’s populated when connecting to AGOL with the feature service format.

Thanks, I am trying to get that new connection running (but getting a spinner so far😐).

Got it!
 

It's not exactly what I wanted, though. I was looking for just the feature service name. I have to extract that from the full url:

https://…/arcgis/rest/services/BP_Zaakvlak/FeatureServer/0/10

That's probably doable.

But, since I've put in the feature service information manually, I might as well solve it by creating attributes in advance:
 

...and use those to configure the reader:
 

(and, later on, the witer).

I could even put these values in a CSV-file, so changes in the configuration can be made easier. For example, changing from a test to a production feature service.

Thanks for helping me out!
