Edit the Request Metadata

In a virtual service, the term metadata refers to name/value pairs that contain information that is not part of the request or response body.

Assume that you record a virtual service with the HTTP transport protocol. The request metadata in the virtual service includes the HTTP method and the content type.

Request metadata is not used in matching.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a virtual service.
2. Ensure that the advanced view is displayed.
3. Click the Metadata link to the right of the Request Data label.
4. Add, change, and delete metadata as necessary.
