If using the Xml2Metadata parser metadata must be preconfigured.

Here is an example of a Xml2Metadata configuration file:

<Settings>
    <Metafield Id="5EB3EEFC-A043-410F-89B0-29ED3EF37078" XPath="/Media/Title" />
    <Metafield Id="50182" XPath="/Media/Description" />
    <Metafield Id="50188" XPath="/Media/MMMenu" />
</Settings>

The Settings element is required. It holds the Metafield elements, which couples the metafields in your metadata files to the metafields in the DC.

Metafield attribute
Description
IdThe metafield ID or GUID as seen in the DC under the ID or GUID column respectively. One special tag can also be used: ItemID. When this is set an ItemId can be specified to skip the match search and set metadata on this ItemId directly.
XPathThe XPath selector for this metafield in the metadata XML files.
