Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader Parameters

The host or URL for the ArcGIS Portal.

If the Feature Service requires authenticated access, specify the authentication type required by the server. The available options are:

• Generate Token: Obtain an ArcGIS Token from the server using a given username and password. This is the default.
• Basic: HTTP Basic authentication.
• Digest: HTTP Digest authentication.
• NTLM: Also known as Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). Authenticates using a given username and password.
• Kerberos: Also known as Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). Authenticates as the current Windows user. This option is supported only on Windows systems connected to a domain.

If the Authentication Type is Generate Token, Basic, Digest, or NTLM, specify the username.

If the Authentication Type is Generate Token, Basic, Digest, or NTLM, specify the user’s password.

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 Portal.

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

Once the layer list appears, you can select one or more layers or tables, and then click OK to dismiss the window. Their name(s) will appear in the Layer List parameter.

This parameter specifies the maximum number of features that may be present in a single response from the server. Reduce this value if reads are failing due to timeouts.

The value for this parameter is capped to the maxRecordCount property on the Feature Service.

Default: 1000

Use this parameter to expose 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 using this 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.
