MetadataPackageId	Type reference Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The 18-character package ID starting with `033`.
MinorVersion	Type int Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The second number in a package version number. A version number either has an `x.y` format or an `x.y.z` format. The `x` represents the major version, `y` the minor version, and `z` the patch version.
Name	Type string Properties Filter, Group, idLookup, Sort Description The name of the package version.
PatchVersion	Type int Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The third number in a package version number, if present. A version number either has an `x.y` format or an `x.y.z` format. The `x` represents the major version, `y` the minor version, and `z` the patch version.

Usage

Here are examples of the types of API queries you can perform.

Query	String
Get all package versions for the package that has a MetadataPackageID of 033D00000001xQlIAI	`SELECT Id, Name, ReleaseState, MajorVersion, MinorVersion, PatchVersion FROM MetadataPackageVersion WHERE MetadataPackageId = '033D00000001xQlIAI'`
Get the package version for the package with a specific MetadataPackageID and a major version greater than 1	`SELECT Id FROM MetadataPackageVersion WHERE MetadataPackageId ='033D00000001xQlIAI' AND MajorVersion > 1`
Get released package versions for the package with a specific MetadataPackageID	`SELECT Id FROM MetadataPackageVersion WHERE MetadataPackageId = '033D00000001xQlIAI' AND ReleaseState = 'Released'`

Java Code Sample

Suppose you want to push version 3.4.6 of your package to all orgs. Let’s write some code to identify the orgs eligible for the upgrade. This example demonstrates how to generate the list of subscriber orgs eligible to be upgraded to version 3.4.6 of a package.

This code sample uses the Web Services Connector (WSC).

// Finds all Active subscriber orgs that have the package installed
String PACKAGE_SUBSCRIBER_ORG_KEY_QUERY = "Select OrgKey from PackageSubscribers where OrgStatus = 'Active' and InstalledStatus = 'I'";

// Finds all MetadataPackageVersions lower than the version given, including the list 
// of subscribers for each version
String METADATA_PACKAGE_VERSION_QUERY = "Select Id, Name, ReleaseState, (%s) from"
	+ " MetadataPackageVersion where MetadataPackageId = '%s' AND ReleaseState = 'Released'"
	+ " AND (MajorVersion < 3 OR (MajorVersion = 3 and MinorVersion < 4)"
	+ " OR (MajorVersion = 3 and MinorVersion = 4 and PatchVersion < 6))";

// conn is an EnterpriseConnection instance initialized with a ConnectionConfig object
// representing a connection to the developer org of the package
QueryResult results = conn.query(String.format(METADATA_PACKAGE_VERSION_QUERY, PACKAGE_SUBSCRIBER_ORG_KEY_QUERY));

// This list will hold all of the PackageSubscriber objects that are eligible for upgrade
// to the given version
List<PackageSubscriber> subscribers = new ArrayList<>();
for (SObject mpvso : results.getRecords()) {

		// Cast the sObject to a MetadataPackageVersion
		MetadataPackageVersion mpv = (MetadataPackageVersion) mpvso;

		// Add subscribers to our list
		if (mpv.getPackageSubscribers() != null) {
			for (SObject psso : mpv.getPackageSubscribers().getRecords()) {
				subscribers.add((PackageSubscriber) psso);
			}
	}
}
