RE: Updating metadata using web services

On a whim, I changed <Field Name="ID">15</Field> to <Field
Name="ID">abcdef.txt</Field>.  So I gave the name of the document instead of
it's ID number.

I did not get the "Invalid text value" error.  Instead I got this error

<Results xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><Result
ID="1,Delete"><ErrorCode>0x8102000a</ErrorCode><ErrorText>Invalid URL
Parameter

The URL provided contains an invalid Command or Value. Please check the URL
again.</ErrorText></Result></Results>


But I know that the SQL Server is, in fact, running.

This may not have any impact on things, but I did think it was interesting
that my original error went away.

I will submit the issue to Microsoft using our companies normal support
channel.
Thank you.

Stop the press!!  I've figured it out...

Looking back at the SDK once more, I noticed that my XML was missing a few
<Field> tags compared to the example (because I purposefully left them out
thinking I didn't need them).  I could not find anywhere in the SDK where it
states which fields must be present for the particular Cmd I am using
(Update), but it definitely needs the <Field Name="FileRef"> element.

So here's what my XML looks like now and it works just fine (the Title is
updated):
<Batch OnError="Continue">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name="ID">15</Field>
<Field
Name="FileRef">http://spsdev1/sites/StevesSandbox/MyDocs/abcdef.txt</Field>
<Field Name="Title">My NewTitle</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>

Thank you for sharing the resolution to the community! Have a nice day!

This example from the SDK doesn't require the FileRef element:

Perhaps FileRef is only required for document libraries?

The example from the SDK I'm using doesn't say it's required either, but doe
s
show it being used:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...ems.asp


Scroll down to the "Update documents" section to see what I mean.

Greatly appreciate you all on this issue!  This is definitely one bug of
the sdk sample code. I have reported this in the internal bug database.
Adding the FileRef field will fix this error.

Thanks once more!
