I currently have the older Esri ArcGIS Online web connector and the new one configured. FME 2025.1.3.

When I try to create a new background map, I only see the older web connection as an options for Esri AGOL maps. Is that expected?

When I use it (and I’ve confirmed that I’m authenticated correctly by testing in a feature reader first) and try to browse to maps I get the following

2026-02-09 16:14:37|      |     |ERROR |FME Objects Worker [28108] > Failed to read features using the 'ARCGISONLINE' reader
 

Any tips?
