3.1.4.40 MetadataCreate

  • Article

The MetadataCreate operation creates new metadata objects in the MDS repository. The operation creates new objects with the names that are provided and generates a new GUID for each new object.

Any GUID included in the request is ignored. For more information about assigning GUIDs to newly created objects, see section 3.1.4.39.

Names for new objects MUST be unique within their context. A name that conflicts with an existing name in the assigned context results in an error.

Newly created objects and their GUIDs are returned in the response if the value of ReturnCreatedIdentifiers is true.

For each of the following objects, a minimum context MUST be specified as listed in the following table.
