Updates Not Supported

The metadata from the transformed file run by MetaXML is “added” to the repository, that is, the “action” attribute of the MetaXML XML is set to “add.” This means that if the user exports the *same* metadata from the tool a second time, the MDS repository metadata objects should be removed before the new (updated) XML is imported into the MDS repository. Deleting the top-most object is the easiest way to accomplish this (the top-most object is in either the CWMRDB_Catalog or CWM_Model class).

The issue here is that objects from the tool must somehow be linked to MDS repository objects. The ability to accomplish this will depend on the specific capabilities provided by each tool and at this time, no tool provides the needed information to accomplish this.
