Edit Metadata

You can edit the metadata for a project.

Important! Use the metadata editor at your own risk. Removing or altering important objects in the metadata can render it inoperable.

Follow these steps:

1. Open an existing project.
2. In the Provisioning Servers tree, right-click the endpoint type you want to edit the metadata for, then click Edit Metadata.

   The Edit Metadata for Endpoint Type dialog appears and displays the metadata in an XML tree.

3. Edit the metadata as required, then click Save.

   Connector Xpress redeploys the metadata.

Example: How an Administrator Modifies Metadata Manually

In this example, an administrator wants to change the display name mapping from last name to first name by manually modifying the metadata without using the mapping tree. The administrator:

1. Opens the dyn_jdbc_namespace.con project file.
2. Right-clicks the dyn_jdbc_namespace.con endpoint, then selects Edit Metadata.
3. Expands the dyn_jdbc_namespace node, and navigates to Classes, eTDYNAccount, Properties, eTDYN-str-01 in the Metadata Editor.
4. Modifies the displayName attribute from Last name to First name.
5. Modifies the beanPropertyName attribute from lastName to firstName.
6. Redeploys the modified metadata.
7. hecks that the changes have been made successfully by validating them in the Provisioning Manager.
