Changing ManagedObject MetaData via the Content Management SDK (Java API)

Ben_Hatton

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has been able to update the metadata for a Managed Object via the API?  I would like to change the lastModTime, lastModifier, lastModComment and creationTime fields.

I have trying to set these fields via the ManagedObjectMetaData object, but I haven't been able to work out how to commit these changes back to the VCM.

Example that doesn't work:

managedObject.getManagedObjectRef().getMap().getMetaData().setLastModTime( newDate);managedObject.commit();

Have also tried creating new MetaData and Map objects and setting them on the MO, but doesn't do the job.  If there's a way, I think it depends on getting a reference to an MO that contains the metadata but isn't marked as readonly.

Ben,

 

There is something wrong with your requirements.

 

You should never need to update any of those. If you were able to change those values programmatically then integrity of the system information will be compromised. Something system will not allow you to do.

 

Best Regards
