Example of an UpdateMetadata Request That Modifies an Object's Attributes

The following is an example of an UpdateMetadata request that modifies an object's attributes. The specified attributes and values replace attribute values stored for the object of the specified metadata type and object instance identifier. Examples in this section are formatted for submission in the INMETADATA parameter of the DoRequest method.

<UpdateMetadata>
   <Metadata>
      <SASLibrary
        Id="A53TPPVI.A1000001"
        Engine="oracle"
        IsDBMSLibname="1"/> 
   </Metadata>
   <NS>SAS</NS>
   <!-- OMI_TRUSTED_CLIENT flag -->
   <Flags>268435456</Flags>  
   <Options/>
</UpdateMetadata>

In the request, note the following:

The Id attribute is used in the main element and specifies a real value. If the object is not found, the request fails.
The request submits new values for SASLibrary object A53TPPVI.A1000001's Engine and IsDBMSLibname attributes. Unmodified attributes remain unchanged.
