ArcGIS Feature Service Reader Warning

Question

Hi there,

I have about 230 workspaces that run daily to import data using the ArcGIS Feature Services Reader. The issue is, with every run I get warnings that don’t seem to be a problem, but make it seem like the workspaces aren’t running right.

NOT changing coordinate system of reader identified by keyword `SAFE.ESRI-AGOL.ARCGISFEATURESERVICE_1' from `EPSG:7844' to `LL-GDA2020_FME' -- mapping file setting of `EPSG:7844' overrides coordinate system `LL-GDA2020_FME' read from file
This warning just seems to be stating the coordinate system will not be overridden by FME’s LL-GDA2020_FME Coordinate System. It is logged for every reader feature type

ArcGISFeatureServiceReader: Querying feature server 'https://public-services.OrganisationURL.com/public/rest/services/ServiceName/MapServer/
This warning should not be a warning in my opinion, as it's just stating that the reader is querying the feature service. This occurs once for every reader feature type as well.

Debugging is disabled, however with 2 x Feature types in each workspace, that's 920~ unwanted warning messages a day that are recorded against the automation. Any advice on how to stop these warnings from appearing?

Thanks,

Jack

You can lodge these to support along with your log

CSMapReprojection library has many entries for the same coordinate system. The EPSG entries to align with the OGC and global community, then specific entries for local / national agencies. So there are duplicates and yes I too find it alot of logging. Good to remember though that:

✅ This is not an error
✅ No data loss or reprojection issue is implied
✅ It is just telling you “I’m not overriding what the source explicitly defines”

You used to be able to turn off Warnings in Form > Utilities > FME Options > Translation but this has disappeared in 2026.1

Hi, I have this warning as wellArcGISFeatureServiceReader: Querying feature server 'https://…A bit disturbing. Have you resolved this with Safe support?I also receive one of these warnings each time I query a feature service using the ArcGISFeatureService Reader. I don’t believe it’s anything malicious, but perhaps FME is just being overly thorough with its warnings, as it seems to be more of a “just letting you know I’m querying XYZ server” message.Let me know if you think otherwise, or if you’ve heard anything different from Safe Support. :)
