Requesting admin data and metadata

To write admin data or metadata to the Remote Folder, add a file called OdmConfig.properties to the local folder.

  • f the file contains ReturnCode=1, the Oracle InForm Publisher application will send admin data during the next push interval.
  • If the file contains ReturnCode=2, Oracle InForm Publisher application will send metadata during the next push interval.
  • If the file contains ReturnCode=3, the Oracle InForm Publisher application will send both admin data and metadata during the next push interval.
  • If the file contains ReturnCode=4 or the ODMConfig.properties file does not exist, the Oracle InForm Publisher application will not sent either admin data or metadata during the next push interval.
