Talk about a stealth enhancement, I thought this would take a while but it arrived this morning.  The recently published ArcGISOnlineConnector now handles on-premise portals.  Now you can automate portal item management with Spatial ETL tools or FME.  Fantastic!

Here is how to set it up.  First create a portal connection app with the workflow described in this blog.  Record the App ID and App Secret.

Then open Workbench and the FME Tools dialog at the Web Connections view.  At bottom right you'll see the Manage Services button:

Click on Manage Services, you'll see this dialog.

Click on the + pulldown at bottom left and choose Create From...

Then Esri ArcGIS Portal (Template)...

Then fill in the details for your portal and you'll have a new connection type.

Authenticate a connection of the new type and you'll have a web connection you can use with ArcGISOnlineConnector to connect with your portal.

ArcGISPortalConnector is an alias for ArcGISOnlineConnector in Workbench. Enjoy!
