I am trying to figure out how to write metadata to ArcGIS Online Feature Service (update existing).
I am able to read metadata from SDE using the "geodb_metadata_string" format parameter when setting the feature read mode to "Metadata" on the reader, but not being able to write to ArcGIS Online.
Is this even possible?
?Thank you.

hopefully someone can correct me, but after a quick look in the docs it doesn't seem to be supported at the moment: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_ReadersWriters/FME_Readers_Writers.htm#arcgisonlinefeatures/quick_facts_arcgisonlinefeatures.htm%3FTocPath%3DFME%2520Readers%2520and%2520Writers%7CEsri%2520ArcGIS%2520Online%2520Feature%2520Service%2520Reader%252FWriter%7C_____1
You might also want to contact Safe support to verify this.

+6Hi,
it is now one year later and I have the same question/problem. I am using the ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer and I am able to upload my datasets to ArcGIS Online. But I also want to upload the related metadata (as xml files) to my datasets.
Is this somehow possible?
Best regards

+3Hi,
You may be able to update your hosted feature services' metadata using the ArcREST API. Example 4 is what you are looking for if you just want to update the description and such:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-ap...
This command allows you to upload an item, such as a file:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-ap...
However, note that XML-files are not allowed to be uploaded to ArcGIS Online:
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/share-maps...
If you want to automate any of this, you could use Python in your workspace, either through a PythonCaller or using a shutdown script. There is an ArcREST Python module you could look into:

Hi,
thanks, i'll try that.

+6Hello @kirstynalex,
Currently ArcGIS Online metadata writing is not supported through FME. There is an idea posting for this for ArcGIS Portal, which you can also comment on suggesting ArcGIS Online as well. Can upvote the idea as well, this will help the developers assess the customer requested ideas.
The idea can be found here: https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/37637/support-for-reading-and-writing-metadata-for-arcgi.html

+1It was three years ago that this question was initially posted. Is it still not possible to write metadata to AOL? Can anybody shed some light on this?
