Thats easy. Just call iwextattr <parameters>.
Is that what you are asking ?

The file itself is already created when your TPL code is being interpreted. So, this is trivial -- just use a CLT.

Hi.

i know , using CLT iwextattr -s, we can set the attributes but how to get the DCR and category and template-type value in Presentation template on the fly.

Thanks

Search the forums.
Search the KBs/TechNotes.
See the TST FAQ

Its well documented and has been discussed many times.

Yeah, sorry but this is a big fat RTFM, as this is well-documented.

Outside of the the forums here, there really doesn't seem to be much useful documentation on EA's. The TS TPL documentation does not even mention them. Many of the KB articles are so brief that they really don't explain much.

I think the more pertinent information in this case is the set of parameters that is passed in to a presentation template, which is well-documented. Not to mention, there are more than a few posts about that on DevNet.

This depends on where you want to set the EA's. I'm saving my EA's to the generated files since I do alot of shard dcr's which wouldn't benefit from a specific EA that is specific to a single instance.
Here's how I did it:

<iw_perl><![CDATA[

my $outputName = iwpt_get_ofile_name(); #this will get the generated page
my $dcrName = iwpt_get_dcr_name(); #this is the dcr
my $cmd;

#set extended attribute
$cmd = qq(iwextattr -s MY_EA=thisismyea $outputName);
qx($cmd);

#get extended attribute for the PT
$cmd = qq(iwextattr -g FNNI_NAVIGATION $outputName);
#$cmd = qq(iwextattr -g TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryPT $outputName);
$my_ea = qx($cmd);

]]></iw_perl>

Hi Darin

plz elobrate the FNNI_NAVIGATION, Templating/PrimaryPT and MY_EA=thisismyea.

My Data category name is Automobile and type name is Lufth. and my presentation template file name is Lufth.tpl so shd i replace above with these values .

Thanks
RG

The iwextattr -g TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryPT will get the tpl that is being used...
You can substitute it with any named EA that you have set.
For example:
iwextattr -g MyEA
Will get the value of the "MyEA" attribute (if its set)
and
iwextattr -s MyEA=foo
Will set an attribute

So, in this example if I reversed the order (set before get) my "MyEA" attribute would return "foo"

I haven't included the full perl code here, but I could create it pretty quickly if you wanted me to.

To see some of the EA's that teamsite has placed on your generated files or DCR's just click the "properties" link next to the asset in the TS interface (professional). Once you know what EA's you have, its quite easy to get them using the syntax listed above.

Thanks a lot Darin for the quick idea.

Can you send me the full code based on my last reply. else we can have chat for quick resolve.

I'll post it here so that others can hopefully benefit:

<iw_perl><![CDATA[
my $outputName = iwpt_get_ofile_name();
my $cmd;

#set extended attribute
$cmd = qq(iwextattr -s TEST_EA="it worked!" $outputName);
qx($cmd);

#get extended attribute
$cmd = qq(iwextattr -g TEST_EA $outputName);
$my_ea = qx($cmd);
]]></iw_perl>

<iw_value name='$my_ea'/>

if everthing goes ok, this code should output this: "it worked!"
