Using GetMetadataObjects

When you use GetMetadataObjects to return a list of repositories, you can list repositories of all the subtypes in the Repository superclass, or you can list only repositories of a specific subtype.

To list instances of all subtypes in the Repository superclass:

specify the Repository supertype in the TYPE parameter
set the OMI_INCLUDE_SUBTYPES (16) flag.

Example:

<GetMetadataObjects>
   <Reposid>A0000001.A0000001</Reposid>
   <Type>Repository</Type>
   <Objects/>
   <NS>REPOS</NS>
   <Flags>16</Flags>  /* OMI_INCLUDE_SUBTYPES flag */
   <Options/>
</GetMetadataObjects>

To list instances of one subtype in the Repository superclass, specify the appropriate repository subtype in the TYPE parameter.

Example:

<GetMetadataObjects>
   <Reposid>A0000001.A0000001</Reposid>
   <Type>RepositoryBase</Type>
   <Objects/>
   <NS>REPOS</NS>
   <Flags/>   
   <Options/>
</GetMetadataObjects>
