How to use 'Truncate Existing' using the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service in v3.16.0

TomGeo

I have been using the prior version of ArcGIS Connector v3.16.0 to write and update my data on an Enterprise portal, and after the upgrade to v3.16.0 the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service writers still work.

However, all new Esri ArcGIS Feature Service writers with the same parameter settings do not work when trying to truncate the data in the Feature Services.
The first screenshot shows the writer parameters that do allow me to truncate the FeatureService in question.
The second screenshot show the parameters of the writer where I cannot truncate the data.

The error messages I am getting are

ArcGISFeatureServiceWriter: Cannot create or overwrite Feature Service 'Ivy1_219033077_heatmap': feature type 'Ivy1_219033077' is set to 'INSERT' mode. All feature types must be in INSERT mode and not set to Truncate

Python Exception <FormatException>: FMEException: 1: ARCGISFEATURESERVICE: Cannot create or overwrite Feature Service 'Ivy1_219033077_heatmap': feature type 'Ivy1_219033077' is set to 'INSERT' mode. All feature types must be in INSERT mode and not set to Truncate

What settings do I have to adjust and to what values to be able to truncate my data?

GIS moved on and nobody needs a format consisting out of at least three files! No, nobody needs shapefiles, not even for the sake of an exchange format. Folks, use GeoPackage to exchange data with other GIS!

Tom please open a support call and we'll look into this. It seems like it should work.

Done! 😊
