Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service Reader Parameters

These are the credentials for authenticating with ArcGIS Online.

This parameter specifies the Feature Service from which to read layers (feature types). You can click the Browse button to obtain a list of all Feature Services accessible by the current user. A connection window appears while the system browses all accessible folders and groups for Feature Services. Only one Feature Service may be selected

This parameter takes the form of “folder or group name/feature service name”, and optionally suffixed with the Feature Service item ID if the name is ambiguous.

The Feature Service’s item ID is alphanumeric. The provided name and/or ID must match a Feature Service item on ArcGIS Online.

After you have selected a valid Feature Service, click the Browse button to select layers for import. A connection window appears while the system retrieves a list of layers from the selected Feature Service.

Once the layer list appears, you can select one or more layers, and then click OK to dismiss the window. The table name(s) will appear in the table list field in the Parameter box.

This parameter exposes Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:

• In a dynamic scenario, it means these attributes can be passed to the output dataset at runtime.
• In a non-dynamic scenario where you have multiple feature types, it is convenient to expose additional attributes from one parameter. For example, if you have ten feature types and want to expose the same attribute in each one, it is easier to define it once than it is to set each feature type individually in the workspace.
