guidmap Parameter

  • Article

Data Type: String

Used with the put manifest method to remap the IDs in the manifest with the IDs on the restored site. This parameter is only valid when the options parameter is set to second pass.

The values to use with this parameter are passed to the client computer in the guidmap section of the put manifest response in the first pass. The client computer then sends these values back to the server through the guidmap parameter in the second pass. For example, assume that the server sends the following data to the client computer as part of the response in the first pass.

<p>guidmap=
<ul>&#00;
<li>&#123;AAAAAAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA&#125;
<li>&#123;BBBBBBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBBBBBBBBBB&#125;
<li>&#123;CCCCCCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCCCCCCCCCC&#125;
<li>&#123;DDDDDDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDDDDDDDDDD&#125;
</ul>

The client computer then sends the data back to the server through the guidmap parameter in the second pass, as follows.

method=put manifest:6.0.2.5523
&service_name=/
&options=second pass
&prefix=
&guidmap=[%00;{AAAAAAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA};
{BBBBBBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBBBBBBBBBB};
{CCCCCCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCC-CCCCCCCCCCCC};
{DDDDDDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDD-DDDDDDDDDDDD}]
