Upgraded from FME Desktop 2022.2 to FME Desktop 2025.1 (Build 25609)

In FME 2022.2, I had a FeatureReader reading to a FeatureService URL with no issues. Perfectly was able to read it and extract its spatial content and attributes. Upgraded to FME Desktop 2025.1 and it no longer works. Could this be like an internal firewall blocking access to this or is it the way FME 2025 handles SSL certificates? If so, how can I remedy this?

Any insight is much appreciated.

SAMPLE Workbench

I have the latest package installed

I even have the Rejected Feature Handling to Continue Translation. 

FeatureReader setup which worked perfectly fine in FME 2022.2 but not in FME 2025.1

 

I’ve tried the following format but its configuration for a web connection is not needed, since the REST feature service URL I’m accessing does not require a username nor password https://services.arcgis.com/mMUesHYPkXjaFGfS/arcgis/rest/services/ROLL_ENTRY/FeatureServer

 

 

No problem reading that layer here. Suspect something in your environment is causing the issue, especially with that SSL Cert verification issue mentioned in the log.

 


If you set the "Esri ArcGIS Feature Service” (safe.esri-agol etc. ) to Standalone server you can pick Authentication = None.

This is my result as well:

ArcGISFeatureServiceReader: Getting feature results 1000 up to 2000 of layer/table 'MG_ROLL_ENTRY_POLY'

So seems to be working.

Both with the (replaces by ARCGIS) format and the (safe.esri-agol) format.

 

I do notice that the FeatureReader ignores the Max Features to Read parameter. And I did not want to wait for all the results to show up.

No issues with the SSL on my machine. I also have the safe.esri-agol o3.11.1] installed on 2025.1.0.0 FME Form.

 

 

 

 

 


Thank you ​@todd_davis and ​@jkr_wrk 

I ended up switching to Esri ArcGIS Feature Service” (safe.esri-agol etc. ) and Authentication set to None which worked fine. For some reason, the other format (replaces by ARCGIS) is still returning errors. I’’ stick with Esri ArcGIS Feature Service” (safe.esri-agol).
