How to pass multi-language value to PublicationOutput25's retrieveMetadata via the xmlMetadataFilter?

Dana Ford

I have code that calls PublicationOutput25's retrieveMetadata that works if I pass a single language in the xmlMetadataFilter parameter.  However, if I'm trying to retrieve the metadata for an output format that has *more* than one language (i.e. en-us+de), I get this error:

The LovValue en-us+de does not exist. [label:"en-us+de"] [102001;InvalidObject]

The xmlMetadataFilter I'm passing is:

<ishfields><ishfield name='VERSION' level='version'>2</ishfield><ishfield name='FISHOUTPUTFORMATREF' level='lng'>PDF A4 Online</ishfield><ishfield name='DOC-LANGUAGE' level='lng'>en-us+de</ishfield></ishfields>

This is a valid publication output which I have published successfully in the web client.   Please help me understand what I'm missing here to make this work with more than one language.

    Hi Dana,

    For those who wonder what "en-us+de" means... if you imagine a booklet from a product that contains multiple languages, then this field decides the order and the languages. So your publishing train knows that this booklet contains first "en-us" and next "de". It is indeed a different booklet from "fr+de" or even "de+en-us" (where it is first German then US English).

    The field DOC-LANGUAGE holds the leading value of such a combination of languages. It is something the system needs regarding logical version language hierarchy.

    The field you are looking for is FISHPUBLNGCOMBINATION. It is just a string field and does understand individual languages, so you could use the like operator for filtering. We choose the language labels to keep the field value readable in file names. I found that one using ISHRemote: Get-IshTypeFieldDefinition | Out-GridView
