Hello fellow FME enthousiasts,
We have been running into an issue when using the new Esri ArcGIS Feature Service [Writer] (from the new Esri ArcGIS Connector v3.13.2 package) to write to a Hosted Feature Layer on ArcGIS Online. The Hosted feature layer is created by Survey 123.
Previously we used the old Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service [Writer], since this won't be supported anymore in 2026 we started experimenting with the new one.
When we try to update the hosted Feature layer with FME using the old one, all goes well, data gets written as expected and the geometry is visible.
But when using the new one from the package we get a few warnings and no error's. The process tells us it's succesfull, we see the new records appearing in AGOL and the attributes seems to be as expected. The geometry is not visible either. When we try to zoom to a record nothing happens. When i open the layer in ArcGIS Pro nothing happens either when i try to zoom to layer/or zoom to selection. It's like there is no geometry.
We've tried multiple settings without any result.
When we try importing the same geometries into a newly created hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online (through the New item button on the Content page) and using the new Esri ArcGIS Feature Service [Writer] everything goes fine. So it only seems to happen when it is a Hosted feature layer made through Survey123.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Are we overlooking a setting in the new Writer maybe? Any help would be appreciated. I've added the log of the run to the new Writer below.
Thx, and have a nice weekend!
