IMetadataCatalog.GetLobSystems(String)
Remarks
BDC uses ‘*’ as the wildcard character and the ‘\’ as the escape character. For example, to obtain all external content types which have names starting with “C”, and ending with “s*12”, this method should be called with “C*s\*12”. This will return both “Customers*12” and “Cs*12”, but not “CratesOf12” or “Cs\*12”.
Object instances obtained from an instance of RemoteSharedFileBackedMetadataCatalog can only be used with object instances obtained from the same instance of RemoteSharedFileBackedMetadataCatalog. Using incompatible object instances with each other causes data corruption and other unexpected behavior.
