Yes, that's correct, it is the SOAP API methods I meant. I believe the REST API handles the necessary mediation to the correct underlying method based on the control group, whether content was POST-ed or provided as a location, etc.

I quote below from the API documentation. SOAP: . modifyDatastreamByReference: "This operation is only relevant for managed, redirect or external reference datastreams (controlgroup E,M,R)." . modifyDatastreamByValue: "This operation is only valid for Inline XML Datastreams (i.e. controlGroup "X")." REST: . modifyDatastream: No such comment. --- A.

However the API methods used to update managed content vs inline XML are different, so if you have any code that currently assumes that these datastreams are inline XML then that might need revising with respect to the API calls used. > 2) The migration tool should work on any inline XML datastream, it's not restricted to those you list > > Regards > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: Julie Allinson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 16 September 2010 15:48 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [fcrepo-user] XML datastreams as Managed Content > > Hello, > > We are about to migrate our DC, RELS-EXT, RELS-INT from inline xml to Managed Content, for performance reasons.
