Execute MDL Script Asynchronously

POST https://{{vaultDNS}}/api/mdl/execute_async

https://developer.veevavault.com/api/24.2/#Execute_MDL_Async

This asynchronous endpoint executes the given MDL script on a Vault.

While you can execute any MDL script with this endpoint, it is required if you’re operating on 10,000+ raw object records and executing one of the following operations:

  • Enabling lifecycles
  • Enabling or disabling object types
  • Adding or removing a field
  • Updating the max length of any variable-length field, such as Text, Long Text, or Rich Text
  • Adding or removing an Index
  • Changing the fields that compose an Index or otherwise would cause reindexing to occur

After initiating this request, your raw object’s configuration_state becomes IN_DEPLOYMENT. While a raw object is IN_DEPLOYMENT, you cannot edit its fields, list layouts, or indexes. If your raw object deployment request has not yet begun execution, you can cancel the deployment.

This endpoint can only queue one asynchronous change at a time. If you have multiple requests, you must wait for the previous request to complete or use a VPK.
