Cannot set metadata from rasters

Question

Original User: eddy scheper

In the FGDB API beta 3 version there are no methods to set of change the metadata/documentation of raster datasets.

For Feature Classes and Tables you can use Geodatabase.OpenTable to open the dataset and use Table.SetDocumentation to set the metadata. However, you can not open Raster Datasets with this Geodatabase method.

The Geodatabase class has a method to directly get the metadata of a dataset: Geodatabase.GetDatasetDocumentation. But a method Geodatabase.SetDatasetDocumentation is not available.

Will this method be available in the Final Release?

With kind regards,

Great! I can't wait.

I was able to get and set the documentation for both the basis2 and bodem5000 datasets using the current build of the API. This using table.GetDocumentation and table.SetDocumentation. We should be posting final soon.

Original User: eddy scheper Hello Lance, I did some tests using a part of your code (see below). int main() { long hr; wstring errorText; // Open the geodatabase. Geodatabase geodatabase; if ((hr = OpenGeodatabase(L"C:/Project/Mpt/Data/TestFileGeodatabase10.gdb", geodatabase)) != S_OK) { wcout << "An error occurred while opening the geodatabase." << endl; ErrorInfo::GetErrorDescription(hr, errorText); wcout << errorText << "(" << hr << ")." << endl; return -1; } // Open the table. Table table; //if ((hr = geodatabase.OpenTable(L"\basis2", table)) != S_OK) //if ((hr = geodatabase.OpenTable(L"\basis2xx", table)) != S_OK) if ((hr = geodatabase.OpenTable(L"\bodem5000", table)) != S_OK) { wcout << "An error occurred while opening the table." << endl; ErrorInfo::GetErrorDescription(hr, errorText); wcout << errorText << "(" << hr << ")." << endl; return -1; } // Open the metadata. string xml; if ((hr = table.GetDocumentation(xml)) != S_OK) { wcout << "An error occurred while getting the metadata." << endl; ErrorInfo::GetErrorDescription(hr, errorText); wcout << errorText << "(" << hr << ")." << endl; return -1; } cout << xml; return 0; } These are my results. - Using the Feature Class \basis2 >> OK, I get the metadata. - Using a non existent Feature Class \basis2xx >> OK, I get a proper error message. - Using the Raster Dataset bodem5000 >> NOK, I get an windows error (in VS2010: Unhandled exception at 0x1038b235 (FileGDBAPID.dll) in MptFgdbExe.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.). When using the following code instead, I get the proper metadata. string xml; if ((hr = geodatabase.GetDatasetDocumentation(L"\bodem5000",L"Raster Dataset",xml)) != S_OK) { wcout << "An error occurred while getting the metadata." << endl; ErrorInfo::GetErrorDescription(hr, errorText); wcout << errorText << "(" << hr << ")." << endl; return -1; } I'm using the FileGeodatabase I send you today. It contains both the basis2 and bodem5000 datasets. Hopefully this helps to solve the problem. With kind regards, Eddy Scheper
