Re: [GeoNetwork-users] Recommended way to update existing metadata

[Jose G. <jos...@ge...>]

Hi Alex

The xml.metadata.insert accepts the parameter uuidAction with these values:


   - nothing (default value): uses the metadata uuid in the xml file, if
   exists throws an exception as you describe.
   - overwrite: if the uuid exists in the database, overwrites the metadata
   with the inserted one.
   - generateUUID: generates a new uuid for the metadata to be inserted.


Regards,
Jose García
