Set Titles and Descriptions

Portal Model REST services allow you to set titles and descriptions.

To set titles and descriptions of a resource, take the following steps:

1. Obtain the URI of resource for which you want to modify titles and descriptions.

2. Perform an HTTP PUT request to the URI that you obtained by the previous step, with a feed in the message body that contains titles and descriptions that you want to set.

3. Check for response 200 OK from the server.

Please note that you can use the update modes merge or replace:

• If you use the merge update mode, you can specifiy only the titles and descriptions that you want to modify.

• If you use the replace update mode, specify the complete entry of the resource, including the titles and descriptions that you want to modify.

Example:

Feed to modify titles and description for a content node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
