Migration of extended attributes

Hi,
Could anybody help me with a procedure of how to migrate
extended attributes from an old server after migration of content to a new server operation on an Windows NT system ,Problem is after migrating the content to new box, the DCR are not recognized , so we need to migrate the extended attributes , there are 2 scripts but they do not work , if any body could help with perl scripts for an windows machine to take care of this or is there any way around to migrate the extended attributes

Thanks in advance

We had to do much the same thing, but only with a few workarea files. If you want the scripts that we used to at least get you started, let me know [stephen.gray1@usbank.com]

Hi Raghav,

Attached scripts could help you in migrating metadata(ext attributes). get_file_attributes.ipl walks through the current directory and exports all metadata to a temporary file. set_file_attributes.ipl applies metadata to all the files in the current directory by calling iwextattr -s.

You will need to execute the scripts from the appropriate workarea/branch on Y:\ drive (or whatever your TeamSite mapped drive is).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I missed set_file_attributes.ipl. Here it is.
