Note

This page is a work in progress.

If your user account has the Read, Write, or Own permission level on a data file in DME, the following command allows you to view all metadata associated with that data file:

Code Block
dm_get_dataobject <dataobject-path> [metadata-file] [REST-response]

The following table describes each parameter:

ParameterDescription
<dataobject-path>
The path to the data file.
[metadata-file]

An optional path and filename.

  • If you specify this parameter, the system creates the specified file in the specified location and saves the metadata in that file.
  • If you do not specify this parameter, the system prints the metadata to standard output.

The system provides information about the data file, a list of attribute values for the file, and a list of attribute values for the parent collection.
