Manually creating the JDM Pro metadata

Jeppesen Distribution Manager Pro (JDM Pro) metadata is contained in the ADEL metadata XML file. This section describes the information found in that metadata file. Use this section to create metadata for your content instead of using JDM Pro to do so.

The following metadata information is an example of what your metadata file might look like:


<ADEL_Metadata
   title="[---CUSTOMER-DEFINED TITLE---]"
   description="[---CUSTOMER-DEFINED DESCRIPTION---]"
   version="[---CUSTOMER-INCREMENTED INTEGER---]"
   typeOfContent="[---JDM PRO CONTENT-TYPE---]"
   adelEligible="true"
   nomenclature="[---CUSTOMER-DEFINED LABEL---]"
   logicalName="[---INTENTIONALLY LEFT EMPTY---]"
   deltaAlgorithm="xdelta"
   loadOnEffectivity="false"
>
   <FilesManifest>
      <ComponentFile>
         <FilePath>./[---CONTENT FILE NAME---]</FilePath>
         <FileVersion/>
         <Digest>
            <DigestValue>[---CALCULATED BY CUSTOMER---]</DigestValue>
            <DigestAlgorithm>SHA1</DigestAlgorithm>
         </Digest>
      </ComponentFile>
   </FilesManifest>
</ADEL_Metadata>

To create valid metadata, replace the values listed in Metadata values in their entirety. Leave all other aspects of the metadata unchanged.
