The following AddMetadata
request creates a ResponsibleParty object, and then associates it
with the SASLibrary object created in Example of an AddMetadata Request That Creates a SAS Metadata Model Object. The ResponsibleParty
metadata type is used to associate a set of Person objects with a
role or responsibility. This ResponsibleParty object is created with
the role of "Owner".
<AddMetadata>
<Metadata>
<ResponsibleParty Name="LibraryAdministrator"
Desc="NW Region Sales Data"
Role="Owner">
<Objects>
<SASLibrary ObjRef="A53TPPVI.A1000001"/>
</Objects>
</ResponsibleParty>
</Metadata>
<Reposid>A0000001.A53TPPVI</Reposid>
<NS>SAS</NS>
<Flags>268435456</Flags>
<Options/>
</AddMetadata>
In this
method call, the <REPOSID>, <NS>, and <FLAGS> elements
contain the same values as in Example of an AddMetadata Request That Creates a SAS Metadata Model Object. In the <METADATA> property
string, note the following:
-
<RESPONSIBLEPARTY> is the
metadata type. Name, Desc, and Role are attributes of the ResponsibleParty
metadata type. Name and Role are required attributes.
-
<OBJECTS> is the association
name and is specified as a subelement of <RESPONSIBLEPARTY>.
-
<SASLIBRARY> is the metadata
type of the associated metadata object and is specified as a subelement
of <OBJECTS>. The ObjRef attribute in the <SASLIBRARY>
subelement informs the SAS Metadata Server that the SASLibrary object
is an existing object. The server creates the association without
modifying any of the object's other properties.
Here is an example of
the output returned by the SAS Metadata Server:
<!-- Using the ADDMETADATA method. -->
<ResponsibleParty Name="LibraryAdministrator" Desc="NW Region Sales Data"
Role="Owner" Id="A53TPPVI.A2000001">
<Objects>
<SASLibrary ObjRef="A53TPPVI.A1000001"/>
</Objects>
</ResponsibleParty>The output string mirrors
the input string with the exception that a two-part metadata object
identifier is assigned to the ResponsibleParty object.
