Parameters

NameTypeDirectionDescription
psAuthContextStringInOutDeprecated proprietary authentication context only used by .ASMX web services based on internal username/password authentication. Claims based security standards drive all the WCF .SVC web services, making this parameter redundant.
psAnnotationIdStringInThe unique identifier of the annotation
psXMLMetadataStringInMetadata XML structure with the metadata for the annotation
psXMLRequiredCurrentMetadataStringInMetadata XML structure with the metadata that object is required to have set currently. The update of the object is only carried out when the object has exactly the same metadata specification, i.e. the metadata was not changed by someone else.

Requirements are:

  • Only the user who created the annotation or an 'Administrator' can update the annotation text.
Note that:
  • All logical identifiers within Content Manager are in uppercase.
  • The annotation is linked to a specific revision of a topic via the field FISHREVISIONID. When updating the revision, the new value must be a newer revision of the same content object.
  • It is not possible to update replies using this method. Use the specific UpdateReply method to handle them.
