Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader

Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.

The Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader plug-in enables FME to read vector features from a public ArcGIS Feature Services hosted by either a standalone ArcGIS Server, or on Esri’s ArcGIS Online cloud service.

FME also has an Esri ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader/Writer plug-in, which grants authenticated read and write access to private Feature Services hosted on ArcGIS Online.

Overview

The The Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service Reader only supports reading from publicly-accessible Feature Services that do not require authentication.

In FME, a Feature Service is a required format parameter, and a layer within a Feature Service is a feature type.

Duplicate Layer Names

Duplicate layer names are allowed within a Feature Service.

The reader resolves ambiguity by appending the layer ID to the end of feature types if multiple layers share the same name. If a layer ID is present in the feature type, the ID takes precedence over the name.
