i have a service definition draft file which also contains the information about the metadata it's going to create. i want to update the metadata information before staging the draft file. The draft file looks something like this :

 

<SVCManifest xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:type="typens:SVCManifest">
<Databases xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfSVCDatabase" />
<Resources xsi:type="typens:ArrayOfSVCResource">
<SVCResource xsi:type="typens:SVCResource">
<ID>{429221BF-D0A1-40D8-9DC1-B41D269E95C7}</ID>
<Name>test.crf</Name>
<Metadata xsi:type="typens:XmlPropertySet">
<XmlDoc>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;metadata xml:lang="en"&gt;&lt;Esri&gt;&lt;CreaDate&gt;20211219&lt;/metadata&gt;
</XmlDoc>
</Metadata>
</SVCManifest>

 

i am able to read the XmlDoc tag in this file using the code below and i want to replace the xml file under this tag with another xml file. This code helps me read it.

 

import xml.dom.minidom as DOM
import shutil
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
metadata_path=r"C:\Users\arcgis\UnidataDD2MI_result.xml"
meta=doc.getElementsByTagName('XmlDoc')
new_metadata=DOM.parse(metadata_path)
for metadata in meta:
    if metadata.firstChild.data:
        metadata.firstChild.replaceData()
        print (metadata.firstChild.data)
sys.exit(0)

 

This is the file i want to have under the tag:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gmd:MD_Metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                 xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"

Haven't tried this, but maybe you could treat this just as a text file and manipulate the tags using simple text reading, extracting/deleting the desired block, appending the replacement block, then appending the remaining xml? Or instead of replace, do a remove and insert?

This lets me change the tags in the xml, but I'm not sure if it will validate:

 

metadata_path=r'path to .sddraft'

tree = ET.parse(metadata_path)
root = tree.getroot()

xml_doc = """<gmd:MD_Metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                 xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"
                 xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"
                 xmlns:srv="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/srv"
                 xmlns:gmx="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmx"
                 xmlns:gsr="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gsr"
                 xmlns:gss="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss"
                 xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts"

                 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.2/profiles/apiso/1.0.0/apiso.xsd"> <gmd:fileIdentifier>

for xmldoc in root.iter('XmlDoc'):
    xmldoc.text = xml_doc

tree.write(r'output.sddraft')
