Hi FMEers, 

I’m trying to create a basic map using the HtmlReportGenerator. I’ve added 2 polygon hosted feature layers from our ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, that are comma separated in that URL field. 

They are shared with groups that I am a member of so I have access to view them.

When I send it through to an html writer, the output map is blank. I wasn’t sure if that was because it is offline so I also published to FME Flow but it’s still blank: 

 

I also tried with a layer shared to public from our portal with the same results.

Is there something I’m missing from the docs?

Not a 100% sure, but this could be due to a CORS-error. Press F12 in your browser, reload the page, and check the network requests and their responses, and the console.

I would assume ArcGis Online would have Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to *, but you know about assumptions...

Hi ​@hannahwh05! Have you tried referencing the layer itself?
I got it to work for myself by grabbing the URL from the feature service layer.

You’ll know it’s the right one if there’s an extra /0 at the end of the URL

You also might need to share the feature layer publicly

And send some geometry in to ensure the layer is zoomed to the right location. In my case, I created a local point with the Creator transformer.

 

Let me know if that helps! 😊

Hi ​@desiree_at_safe this is exactly what I did and it gave me the blank output unfortunately
