metadata retrieve

Question

Need a small help on figuring out what I'm missing in my XML to retrieve all the fields in Case and Opportunity. So far i manage to get almost all but there is 2 standard fields that i can't pull.

In Case it is the BusinessHoursId and in Opportunity it is Probability. I'm not sure what is missing but i set all the standard retrieve calls for all objects but this 2 fields just cant be pulled.

Any idea what I'm missing.

The package.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Package> xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

i also tried to add the following in but did not do anything

<types>
        <members>Case.BusinessHoursId</members>
        <members>Opportunity.Probability</members>
        <name>CustomField</name>
</types>

any help would be great.

Thanks. Jason

Are you sure the user you're using has access to those fields? I just tried to retrieve those fields, and here's the result.

Case.object:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomObject xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <fields>
        <fullName>BusinessHoursId</fullName>
        <trackFeedHistory>false</trackFeedHistory>
        <trackHistory>false</trackHistory>
        <trackTrending>false</trackTrending>
        <type>Lookup</type>
    </fields>
</CustomObject>

Opportunity.object:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomObject xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <fields>
        <fullName>Probability</fullName>
        <trackFeedHistory>false</trackFeedHistory>
        <trackTrending>false</trackTrending>
    </fields>
</CustomObject>

package.xml:

<types>
    <members>Case.BusinessHoursId</members>
    <members>Opportunity.Probability</members>
    <name>CustomField</name>
</types>

So as you can see, they are retrieved correctly.

Also, if you're only retrieving fields then you don't need to specify any CustomObject members. Retrieving the fields will create the relevant .object files.
