Managing metadata fields

These flags are used in managing metadata fields:

  • -ro and -rw flags

    Some of the metadata fields are managed exclusively by the engine, and cannot be changed. These fields are read-only (-ro). Modifiable fields are called read-write (-rw). Use these flags to display only the read-only or read-write keys, respectively.

    For example:

    Input: msgmetaget -ro message6
    Output: CLASS ISSTATICDIRTY ISVARDIRTY MID ORIGDESTCONN ORIGSOURCECONN RETRIES GROUPMID SOURCEMID 
    SOURCEMSIIDX STATE TIMEIN TIMEOUT TIMEQCUR TIMEQTOT TIMEXLT TYPE USERECOVERDB XLTTHREAD
    
    Input: msgmetaget -rw message6
    Output: DATAFMT DESTCONN DRIVERCTL FLAGS PRIORITY SKIPXLT GROUPID SEPCHARS SOURCECONN USERDATA
  • -all flag

    This flag displays all of the keys, and is the same as using none of the flags.

    For example:

    Input: msgmetaget -all message6
    Output: CLASS DATAFMT DESTCONN DRIVERCTL FLAGS ISSTATICDIRTY ISVARDIRTY MID ORIGDESTCONN ORIGSOURCECONN 
    PRIORITY RETRIES SKIPXLT GROUPID GROUPMID SEPCHARS SOURCECONN SOURCEMID SOURCEMSIIDX STATE TIMEIN TIMEOUT 
    TIMEQCUR TIMEQTOT TIMEXLT TYPE USERDATA USERECOVERDB XLTTHREAD
