How to write attachments to ArcGIS Online?

I need to copy records from one hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online to another hosted feature layer. Schemas are identical. Some of the records in the source data have an attachment (only 1 per feature/record so only in the 0 position in the list). No problem getting all of the records to write from the source to the destination but the attachments are not included. Anyone know how to do bring over the attachments with the rest of the data?

Hi @aaron​  FME currently supports reading attachments from AGOL. Writing attachments to AGOL isn't yet supported. I've linked this thread to our internal ticket (reference FMEENGINE-40499). In the meantime, I'm wondering if using this template that's available to download on the FME Hub might help through an API: https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-lab/templates/attachmentwriter

Hi @abnan0001​,

I checked in with the team. Though this work has been pushed longer than expected, it is on our roadmap for early-mid of next year (2024). Good news is that It likely won't be tied to a release of FME, which provides greater flexibility. The plan is to implement it as part of a packaged Transformer.

I agree with ​@nampreetatsafe there is no direct write but with the  HTTPCaller it’s possible.

 

Here’s my response on another community question with some links including my favorite solution with the AGOL to FGDB workflow

I published this blog in ESRI Community that may help answer the question - Source: Web (Non-ESRI) to Destination: AGOL.
