2515741 - How to refresh Odata Metadata via an API call

Symptom

  • We have an option to refresh the Odata API Metadata via UI
  • However we would like to automate this process and so would like to schedule it via an API call

Environment

Successfactors HXM Suite

Resolution

     1. This activity is a simple 1minute task when done via UI, just go to metadata refresh in the top search box or via Admin Centre.

     2. However if you want to schedule this activity, it has to be done via an API call and for that, you just need to trigger below API call and it will do the work.

Note: There are no side effects or performance interruptions of performing a metadata refresh.

Hint: its recommended to do a metadata refresh after instance refresh or release.
