Taleo Integration(TCC) - Update Candidate Entity using Candidate service

Question

I am trying to generate SQ-XML for updating a field in Candidate Entity. I am not sure how to write it. I know how to write a query for export option. I use below format for export,

Can anyone share the sample of an update query?

Answer 1

Something like this might work:

<soap:Body>
    <can:mergeRequest xmlns:can="http://www.taleo.com/ws/tee800/2009/01">
        <can:candidate>
            <can:Number searchType="search" searchTarget="." searchValue="123">123</can:Number>
            <can:MiddleInitial>X</can:MiddleInitial>
        </can:candidate>
    </can:mergeRequest>
</soap:Body>
