Metadata XML Examples (Magic xpi 4.13)

This topic describes the metadata XML files that are used with the ServiceMax connector's Metadata CRUD method.

Create Metadata Block

The following block creates a pick list with two values (a2,a3) called pick1, in a custom object called MyObj.

<metadata xsi:type="ns1:CustomField">

<fullName>MyObj__c.pick1__c</fullName>

<label>pick111</label>

<type>Picklist</type>

<picklist>

<sorted>True</sorted>

<picklistValues>

<currentName>a2</currentName>

<fullName>a22</fullName>

</picklistValues>

<picklistValues>

<currentName>a3</currentName>

<fullName>a33</fullName>

</picklistValues>

</picklist>

</metadata>

Update Metadata Block

The following block updates the description of two of an Account object's custom fields.

<metadata xsi:type="ns1:CustomField">

<length>100</length>

<fullName>Account.Text1__c</fullName>

<label>Account.Text1__c</label>label>

<description>Desc modified by Update</description>

<type>Text</type>

</metadata>

<metadata xsi:type="ns1:CustomField">

<length>100</length>

<fullName>Account.Text2__c</fullName>

<label>Account.Text2__c</label>label>

<description>Desc modified by Update</description>

<type>Text</type>

</metadata>

Delete Metadata Block

The following block deletes an Account object's custom field.

<ns1:type>CustomField</ns1:type>

<ns1:fullName>Account.Text1__c</ns1:fullName>

Upsert Metadata Block

The following block upserts two custom fields to an Account object.

<metadata xsi:type="ns1:CustomField">

<fullName>Account.Text1__c</fullName>

<length>100</length>

<label>Account.Text1__c</label>label>

<description>Upsert deleted data Metadata API</description>

<type>Text</type>

</metadata>

<metadata xsi:type="ns1:CustomField">

<fullName>Account.Text2__c</fullName>

<length>100</length>

<label>Account.Text2__c</label>label>

<description>Upsert existing data Metadata API</description>

<type>Text</type>

</metadata>

Note:

The metadata BLOB that you need to supply in the CRUD call is not necessarily a legal XML structure, since several sibling Metadata or UpdateMetadata blocks can reside side by side with no wrapping parent.
