Error when deploying Complincegroup fileds with metadata api

Hi,
I am getting the following error message from Sales force when trying to deploy a zip file through metadata api.
I get a message that a few fields are "Not in package.xml". See the printout below.
The poblem is that all the fields are in package.xml that is deployed.
Will appreciate any help!
Yoram
From package.xml:

<types>
<members>Contact.Bigid_id_c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>Contact.Ssn_c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>IntegTestLarge__c.Country__c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>


<types>
<members>IntegTestLarge__c.Date_of_birth__c</members>
<name>CustomField</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>IntegTestLarge__c.Full_name__c</members>

zip object files

Hi,
I am trying to zip an unpackaged directory with package.xml and object files for deployment of metadata to Salesforce.
When I zip it manually nad deploy it everything works. Zipping programatically produces a "deployment success" message from SF but the relevant feilds are not update.
Below is a screenshot of both zip files. They are identical but the "packed" columns.

Would appreciate any help....
Thx
Yoram
This is my code for zipping:

/**
   * @Desc:
   */
   public static void writeZipFile(File directoryToZip, List<File> fileList, String zipFilePathName) {

       try {
           FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFilePathName);
           ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);

           for (File file : fileList) {
               if (!file.isDirectory()) { // we only zip files, not directories
                   addToZip(directoryToZip, file, zos);
               }
           }
           zos.close();
           fos.close();
       } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       } catch (IOException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }

   /**
   * @Desc:
   */
   public static void addToZip(File directoryToZip, File file, ZipOutputStream zos) throws FileNotFoundException,
   IOException {

       FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);

       // we want the zipEntry's path to be a relative path that is relative
       // to the directory being zipped, so chop off the rest of the path
       String zipFilePath = file.getCanonicalPath().substring(directoryToZip.getCanonicalPath().length() + 1,file.getCanonicalPath().length());
       System.out.println("Writing '" + zipFilePath + "' to zip file");
       ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(zipFilePath);
       zipEntry.setCompressedSize(2);
       zos.putNextEntry(zipEntry);

       byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
       int length;
       while ((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) {
           zos.write(bytes, 0, length);
       }

       zos.closeEntry();
       fis.close();
   }

Both zip files:

Error in Rest tooling api

Hi,
I am trying to update a metadata field and get an error as seen below.
Will appreciate any help!
Thx
Yoram

Below are 2 REST queries that I am performing.
1. The first on gets all the complianceGroup fields form fieldDefinition for a certain object.
From the query I get the complianceGroup Id and url.
2. The second one tires to patch a new value to the url and id received in the first query.

First select query:
https://um6.salesforce.com/services/data/v49.0/tooling/query/?q=Select+Id,+complianceGroup+From+FieldDefinition+WHERE+EntityDefinitionId+in('Account')

The result is:
Url: /services/data/v49.0/tooling/sobjects/FieldDefinition/Account.Fax
Id: 000000000000000AAA

Second select query:
Header: PATCH https://um6.salesforce.com/services/data/v49.0/tooling/sobjects/FieldDefinition/Account.Fax/000000000000000AAA HTTP/1.1

The result for this query is the following error:
[ {
"errorCode" : "NOT_FOUND",
"message" : "The requested resource does not exist"
} ]

This is the java code for the seocnd select query:
private void setComplianceGroupValue(String complianceUrl, String id, ArrayList<String> categories) throws ParseException, IOException, ResponseNotOKException {

       for (Iterator iterator = categories.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
           String currentCagtegory = (String) iterator.next();

           //Set up the HTTP objects needed to make the request.
           HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
           HttpPatch patch = new HttpPatch(complianceUrl + "/" + id);
           Header oauthHeader = new BasicHeader("Authorization", "OAuth " + loginAccessToken);
           Header prettyPrintHeader = new BasicHeader("X-PrettyPrint", "1");
           //Header xss = new BasicHeader(("X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"), uri);
           patch.addHeader(oauthHeader);
           patch.addHeader(prettyPrintHeader);
           //patch.addHeader(xss);
           //patch.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

           JSONObject jasonCategory = new JSONObject();
           jasonCategory.put("id", id);
           jasonCategory.put("ComplianceGroup", currentCagtegory);


           StringEntity body = new StringEntity(jasonCategory.toString());

           body.setContentType ("application/json");
           //body.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
           patch.setEntity(body);
           // Make the request.
           HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(patch);
           String getResult = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
           // if respone is not 200 (ok) than an exception is thrown
           proccessHttpResponse(response, complianceUrl+ "/" + id);

           LoggerSingelton.getInstance().getLogger().info("postAttributes result: {}. {}", getResult ,SalesforceRestService.class.getSimpleName());
       }
   }

Which api to use??

HI,
I am writing an app that need to synchronize metadata between Salesforce and a third system.
I tried using Ant metadata (someone sudgested that in a previous post) but I get bad results. The process within SF that retrieves and deploys the zip files is unclear to me and omits fields and objects. Also, the process involves intensive IO and is inefficient.
I think I understand that there are Objects and fields that cannot be updated.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can I configure SF to be able to update all fields and Objects?
2. What is the best api to do that? What about Api tooling?
Thank you
Yoram

ComplianceGroup in Object User

HI,
I am writing an app that manipulates complianceGroup metadata in certain object using ANT metadata in a Java application.
I noticed that its impossible to set a complianceGroup to fields in User object.

Why is that?
Are there other Objects that are the same? i.e, metada cannot be updated.
Thx

upsertMetadata() deactivates existing values

Hi,
I am writing a Java program that inserts new complianceGroup metadata.
My problem is that the metadata that is created is set to active but all the existing values in the table are set inactive and I am left with one ative item and all the rest inactive. The insert of the next item again does it again.
How can I insert them so that the existinh values will remain active?
below is my code.
Thanks
Yoram

for (int i = 0; i < newCategories.size(); i++) {

           StandardValueSet newSet = new StandardValueSet();
           newSet.setFullName(COMPLIANCE_GROUP);
           newSet.setStandardValue(new StandardValue[1]);

           StandardValue currValue = new StandardValue();
           currValue.setFullName(newCategories.get(i));
           currValue.setDefault(false);
           currValue.setDescription("Synched from BigId - " + LocalDateTime.now());
           currValue.setIsActive(true);
           currValue.setLabel(newCategories.get(i));
           currValue.setClosed(false);
           newSet.getStandardValue()[0] = currValue;

           // Name field with a type and label is required
           CustomField cf = new CustomField();
           cf.setType(FieldType.Picklist);
           cf.setLabel(newSet.getFullName() + " Name");
           //co.setNameField(cf);

           UpsertResult[] results = metadataConnection.upsertMetadata(new Metadata[] { newSet });

The types are:
1. Compliance Categorization - corresponds to the ComplianceGroup field on the FieldDefinition.
2. Data Sensitivity Level - corresponds to the SecurityClassification field on the FieldDefinition.

My app already obtains a MetadataConnection after authorisation and I want to start using the metadata api.
How can I figure out the type of the fields listed above?
Thank you
Yoram

Manipulate a picklist from a Java application

HI,
I want to manipulate picklist values for "Data Sensetivity" and "Compliance Categorization" list.
I would like to query the list from a Java application and have the ability to add and delete items from the list.
Thanks
