Hi All,

I come across a requirement to get metadata (all tables or forms or classes) from a given model.

I checked many blogs & got to know about metadata API & metadatasupport class. using this I can get alltables or other objects but didn't get how to get this metadata (all table or forms) from a given model only.

Thanks & Regards,

Rahul

I would have to look at properties of those metamodel classes, but I would expect a property such as Model that you can then use for filtering. Isn't it the case?

Hi @Rahul Dahiya,

Did you try to go to AOT, right click then choose model view?

Also did you try to search meta data from search on the AOT?

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

I didn't find any Model property to filter metadata based on model. these are .NET classes & not present in AOT as well. Is their any documentation available on these classes & property.

Thanks & Regards,

Rahul

Hi Waed,

yes we can access any object in AOT directly but I asked in reference of x++. How can we do it with x++ code.

Hi Rahul,

Can you please show us the code you used to get metadata of all models based on the blogs u followed. And then maybe we can help you to get it for a certain model.

Thanks,

Does MetadataSupport::GetModelsOfMetadataArtifact() gives you what you want for a single element?

There is no documentation, as far as I know.
