Update

The Update action updates the metadata of documents in a repository. Documents are specified by their identifier.

/action=fetch&fetchaction=Update
		      [&config=<Base64_Config>]
		       &identifiersXML=<Identifiers_XML>
		      [&<Override_Config_Parameters>]

Type: Asynchronous

Parameter Name Description Required
Config A base-64 encoded configuration. The configuration parameters that are set override the same parameters in the connector's configuration file. No
IdentifiersXML

The IdentifiersXML parameter specifies the identifiers of the documents to update. It also specifies the metadata to update for each document (use the metadata element to update the value of a single field or the xmlmetadata element to provide metadata updates as structured XML).

The parameter value must be provided in XML format as below:

<IdentifiersXML>
  <identifier value="AUTN_IDENTIFIER1">
    <metadata name="CustomField" value="Value1"/>
    <metadata name="CustomField" value="Value2"/>
    <!-- ... -->
  </identifier>
  <identifier value="AUTN_IDENTIFIER2">
    <xmlmetadata>
      <CustomField>Value1</CustomField>
      <CustomField>Value2</CustomField>
      <AnotherField>
        <SubField>Value</SubField>
      </AnotherField>
    </xmlmetadata>
  </identifier>
  <!-- ... -->
</IdentifiersXML>
Yes
Override_Config_Parameters

Any other action parameters that you set override settings in the connector's configuration file. For example:

/action=fetch&fetchaction=...
&[Section]Parameter=Value

where [Section] (optional) is the name of a configuration file section, Parameter is the name of a configuration parameter, and Value is the parameter value.

No

<fetchaction>UPDATE</fetchaction>
<tasks>
  <success>[IDENTIFIER1]</success>
  <success>[IDENTIFIER2]</success>
  <failed message="Error message">[IDENTIFIER3]</failed>
