(r): Attribute or child element is required.

Description

Creates or updates the metadata XML document for an ArcIMS Image, ArcMap Image, or Feature Service.

Notes

• A PUT_SERVICE_METADATA request must always be sent to a hidden service named "_ServiceMetadata". You cannot send a request directly to the Image, ArcMap Image, or Feature Service. For example, suppose you have an Image Service named "SantaClara". The request is sent to "_ServiceMetadata". The value of servicename in PUT_SERVICE_METADATA is "SantaClara".
• The response to the PUT_SERVICE_METADATA request indicates if the metadata was successfully created or updated. For example, the response would look similar to the following:
  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><OK/>
  
  
• In order to create or modify metadata for an Image, ArcMap Image, or Feature Service, a user must have metadata_service_author privileges. Metadata is created in ArcCatalog, and when connecting to ArcIMS in ArcCatalog, a username and password must be provided. For more information about creating metadata, see "Adding metadata to an ArcIMS service" in the Metadata documentation.
