My org recently upgraded Flow and Form from 2025.1 to 2026.1  

We have heaps of translations that involve both Enterprise Portal and ArcGIS online.  The web connections and services had all been upgraded to use the newer version of the ArcGIS Connector package (the safe.esri-agol versions). 

I’ve re-used all the safe.esri-agol web services built in Form 2025 in 2026. 

Everything authenticates and grabs a token as it should in testing the connections.

Actually using the ArcGIS OnlineConnector is a different story.

 It works great in 2025 still, and reads everything available to the account:
 


In 2026 however:

 

2026 version is trying to use a proxy to connect and eventually just times out without reading anything.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior, and if so how to correct it?  The Proxy settings in both versions of Form are both the same (use system settings).

Thanks!

Chad

So this article has all the info about the new unified package behind the updated ArcGIS Feature service  Working with Esri ArcGIS Feature Services in FME – FME Support Center

You might want to read up on the section “Upgrading the Older Esri ArcGIS Online Connector Package - Breaking Change” where it shows you how to upgrade the 2025 package to the latest version… specifically the ‘work around’

users who already have the Esri ArcGIS Online Connector package installed in FME Form 2024+ are encouraged to perform the package and connector upgrade in the following order:

  1. Upgrade the Esri ArcGIS Online Connector package
  2. Configure the Esri ArcGIS Connector Package Web Service(s) Needed - switch the connection over to the latest web service/connection
  3. Return to the Main Canvas and Upgrade Older ArcGISOnlineConnector Transformers
  4. Test the New ArcGISOnlineConnector
