Adabas Replication Service for webMethods Integration Server is able to generate document type and Metadata from the definitions that are stored on the Replication System file.

With this function two different object types can be created from a Global Format Buffer: Document Types and Metadata.

A Document Type contains a set of fields used to define the structure and type of data in a document (IData object). For more information about the Document Type see the webmethods Integration Server documentation. Metadata is needed to decode the replication data from the Event Replicator for Adabas to the iData object.

The Metadata is provided when the Initial State is done. If the Metadata is not available, it can be created with this function.
