Attribute Descriptions for CHANGE_OWNER

Attribute	Usage
docid	String used to uniquely identify a document. The client used to publish the metadata is responsible for creating the document ID. This ID is automatically assigned when using ArcCatalog. If another client is used, GET_UUID can be used to request a valid ID. The format for an ID is the following: {HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH} where H is a hexadecimal digit (0-9,a-f,A-F). The ID is limited to 38 characters.
newowner	New owner name. Must be a value that has already been used when logging in. The administrator must make the change, but the administrator does not have to themselves log in as the other user.
