Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetLobSystems ( _
    wildcardedName As String _
) As INamedLobSystemDictionary
'Usage
Dim instance As DatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog
Dim wildcardedName As String
Dim returnValue As INamedLobSystemDictionary

returnValue = instance.GetLobSystems(wildcardedName)
public INamedLobSystemDictionary GetLobSystems(
    string wildcardedName
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.BusinessData.MetadataModel.Collections.INamedLobSystemDictionary
The external systems whose names match the specified wildcard string.

Implements

IMetadataCatalog.GetLobSystems(String)

Remarks

BDC uses ‘*’ as the wildcard character and the ‘\’ as the escape character. For example, to obtain all external systems which have names starting with “C”, and ending with “s*12”, this method should be called with “C*s\*12”. This will return both “Customers*12” and “Cs*12”, but not “CratesOf12” or “Cs\*12”.

Object instances obtained from an instance of DatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog for a BdcServiceApplicationProxy can only be used with object instances obtained from instances of DatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog for the same BdcServiceApplicationProxy. Using incompatible object instances with each other causes data corruption and other unexpected behavior.
