Search Metadata using API

Maninder_IBM

Folks,

Wanted to know is it possible to search for a particular value on a particlur metadata field for all assets?

I mean can you say return all those assets IDs (as array or collection) where the metadatafieldX = "y".

I want to eventually move these when found.

Any thoughts ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes you can do that using something like this:

objMDValue.GetValue

In the script you will have to walk through your folder structure and identify the asset type (generic, icc, image, container). And also identify what type of metadata it is (compound, multiple, boolean etc.)

Refer to the API guide and also the SDK examples. The AccessContainer example will be of help.
