Summary
This article documents bug reference SCA-10345 which identifies a bug in the Metadata API.Symptoms
We believe there is a bug in the FlexNet Code Insight setMetadata REST API. It seems that for every successful call to the API, a new row is being added to the PAS_MD_*_VALUES table. Not sure if this is intended functionality since a new row is not added when metadata is updated via the web UI. The issue with this is that the getMetadata REST API is returning the old value even though setMetadata returns a success responseBelow is the API call:
Endpoint: POST http://testosg1l:8888/palamida/api/metadata/setMetadata/request/93058
request body :
{ "fieldValues":
{"BoxAttachmentFolderID":"93058112"}
}
response : {
"Message": "Metadata for requestwith ID 93058 successfully updated",
"Content": {
"BoxAttachmentFolderID": "93058112"
},
"HttpStatusCode": 200
}
But immediate retrieval using GET http://testosg1l:8888/palamida/api/metadata/getMetadata/request/93058:
{
"Message": "Metadata for request with requestID 93058 Successfully retrieved",
"Content": [
{
"name": "BoxAttachmentFolderID",
"value": "93058"
}
],
"HttpStatusCode": 200
}
