Using GetMetadata to Get the Properties of a Specified Metadata Object

Combining GetMetadata Flags

When OMI_SUCCINCT (2048) is added to any flag combination, only attributes that are not null and only associations that have associated objects defined are returned.

When OMI_ALL (1) and OMI_ALL_SIMPLE (8) are set together, the SAS Metadata Server gets all attributes and associations for the requested object, and all attributes of the associated objects returned by OMI_ALL.

When OMI_ALL_SIMPLE (8) is set with OMI_TEMPLATE (4), the SAS Metadata Server gets all attributes for the specified object and all attributes for associated objects that are returned by the template.

When OMI_ALL (1) is set with OMI_TEMPLATE (4), the SAS Metadata Server gets all possible attributes and associations for the specified object and the Id= attribute of associated objects returned by the OMI_ALL flag or template.

When OMI_INCLUDE_SUBTYPES (16) is set without OMI_TEMPLATE and a template, it is ignored. When OMI_INCLUDE_SUBTYPES is set with OMI_TEMPLATE (4) and a template, the SAS Metadata Server gets the properties requested in the <TEMPLATES> element for the objects specified in the <METADATA> element if they are the same metadata type or a subtype of the metadata type specified in the template.
