Working with Architect Metadata

Access to Architect study designs relies on the credentials you supply having access to Rave Architect. See Working with Global Library Metadata for details on how to access study Metadata in Global Libraries.

MetadataStudiesRequest()

Authorization is required for this method.

Returns a rwsobjects.RWSStudies object which has rwsobjects.ODMDoc document attributes and a list of rwsobjects.RWSStudyListItem objects. These are the studies you have access to as an Architect user.

Use ClinicalStudiesRequest() to get a list of studies that you can interact with as an EDC user.

Calls:

https://{ host }/RaveWebServices/metadata/studies

Example:

>>> from rwslib import RWSConnection
>>> from rwslib.rws_requests import MetadataStudiesRequest
>>> r = RWSConnection('innovate', 'username', 'password')  #Authorization required
>>> studies = r.send_request(MetadataStudiesRequest())
>>> studies.ODMVersion

Studies returned in the list from metadata_studies() have an empty environment attribute since they represent study designs, they do not have associated environments.

StudyDraftsRequest(project_name)

Authorization is required for this method.

Returns a rwsobjects.RWSStudyMetadataVersions object which inherits from rwsobjects.RWSStudyListItem. This has ODM document attributes, study attributes and a list of rwsobjects.MetaDataVersion objects representing Rave Architect Drafts.

Calls:

https://{ host }/RaveWebServices/metadata/studies/{ projectname }/drafts

Example:

>>> from rwslib import RWSConnection
>>> from rwslib.rws_requests import StudyDraftsRequest
>>> r = RWSConnection('innovate', 'username', 'password')  #Authorization required
>>> projectname = 'Mediflex'
>>> drafts = r.send_request(StudyDraftsRequest(projectname))
>>> drafts.fileoid
e88d622d-8ddd-476c-8978-ccfe23b26969

>>> drafts.study.studyname
Mediflex

>>> for draft in drafts:
...    print(draft.name, draft.oid)
Draft2 1006
Draft1 126

StudyVersionsRequest(projectname)

Authorization is required for this method.

Returns a rwsobjects.RWSStudyMetadataVersions object which inherits from rwsobjects.RWSStudyListItem. This has ODM document attributes, study attributes and a list of rwsobjects.MetaDataVersion objects representing Rave Architect Versions

Calls:

https://{ host }/RaveWebServices/metadata/studies/{ projectname }/versions

Example:

>>> from rwslib import RWSConnection
>>> from rwslib.rws_requests import StudyVersionsRequest
>>> r = RWSConnection('https://innovate.mdsol.com', 'username', 'password')
>>> projectname = 'Mediflex'
>>> versions = r.send_request(StudyVersionsRequest(projectname))
>>> versions.fileoid
66567494-c76a-4b94-afbb-64f5c1b21cbb
>>> versions.study.studyname
Mediflex
>>> for version in versions:
...    print(version.name, version.oid)
v19 1015
v18 1007
v17 999
v16 481

StudyVersionRequest(projectname, oid)

Authorization is required for this method.

Returns a unicode string of the ODM Metadata for this study version.

Calls:

https://{ host }/RaveWebServices/metadata/studies/{ projectname }/versions/{ oid }

Example:

>>> from rwslib import RWSConnection
>>> from rwslib.rws_requests import StudyVersionRequest
>>> r = RWSConnection('innovate', 'username', 'password')

>>> projectname = 'Mediflex'
>>> version_oid = 1015
>>> r.send_request(StudyVersionRequest(projectname, version_oid))

rwslib does not automatically parse this xml for you (you may want to control this yourself) but rwslib does include some XML helper methods that make working with XML that is generated from web-services easier.

Note

At this time RWS does not provide a way retrieve the ODM for a Draft, only for a Version.

PostMetadataRequest(projectname, data)

Authorization is required for this method.

Creates a new study draft (or overwrites an existing one) with a new ODM definition.

Calls:

POST https://{ host }/RaveWebServices/metadata/studies/{ projectname }/drafts

Options:

Option

Description

headers={‘Content-type’: “text/xml”}

Set custom headers. May need to provide a Content-type if your RWS version is set to accept different standard content-type than default.

Example:

>>> from rwslib import RWSConnection
>>> from rwslib.rws_requests import PostMetadataRequest
>>> r = RWSConnection('innovate', 'username', 'password')

>>> projectname = 'TESTSTUDY'
>>> odm_definition = """<ODM FileType="Snapshot" Granularity="Metadata"
