ExternalServicesSettings

Represents settings for an External Services registration.

This type extends Metadata and inherits its fields.

In the package manifest, all the settings metadata types for the org are accessed using the “Settings” name. See Settings for more details.

ExternalServicesSettings values are stored in the externalServicesSettings.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components, because there is only one settings file for each settings component.

This metadata type is removed in version 56.0 and later.

As of Winter ’23, External Services automatically validates the schema and provides detailed messages for any errors in the UI at registration time so that you can make corrections. See Register an External Service in Salesforce Help.

ExternalServicesSettings components are available in API version 47.0 to 55.0.

• Type: boolean
• Required: No
• Description: Indicates whether your registration should ignore and filter out unsupported schema operations rather than fail the entire registration (true), or whether a specification with invalid schema operations can’t be registered successfully (false). Detailed schema errors pertaining to unsupported operations are shown only if this flag is false.

The following is an example of an ExternalServicesSettings component.

1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2<ExternalServicesSettings xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
3  <enableIgnoreUnsupportedOperations>true</enableIgnoreUnsupportedOperations>
4</ExternalServicesSettings>

The following is an example package.xml that references the previous definition.

2    <members>ExternalServices</members>
3    <name>Settings</name>
4  </types>

This metadata type doesn’t support the wildcard character * (asterisk) in the package.xml manifest file. For information about using the manifest file, see Deploying and Retrieving Metadata with the Zip File.
