Hi,

For the writer ArcGIS Portal Feature Service why using by default a deprecated WKID (102100) ? It’s even written in the FME doc  : here

Accordingly to the Spatial Reference organization, this WKID has been deprecated for quite a while now (before covid!) We need to use 3857 instead. So I don’t understand why FME continues to use the old one by default. Why don’t we see his replacement : 3857 ?

Thanks !

    I imagine it is still there to allow for longstanding processes that may use it to still work - ie backwards compatibility.

    As for being in documentation, I imagine that is an oversight!
