Metedata tagging through workflow

InterwovenIsFun

i have a workflow in which the metadata form opens for a DCR and tagging can be done. My requirement is to copy the metadata from this DCR and paste it as metadata for the xml file created using generate.xsl. Also when the Submit workflow is initiated, both these files have to be submitted. can someone please give me a little help with this. . . .

You can set extended attributes for a particular file by using CLT or from CSSDK. Information is available on the resepective guides.

When you select a certain files and run a workflow, files can get attached to that job. There is also a CLT iwaddtask file, using which you can attch a file. Again same thing can be achieved from CSSDK as well.

Hope that helps.

hey, i am trying to get the extended attributes using the clt iwextattr. i am writing the command as
iwextattr -g //iwserver/default/main/rootwA/templatedata/global/footer/data/footer.xml

is there any prob with this? it says no vpath specified. . . .

curiousmaverick

Yes.

You are trying to get the value of the attribute but haven't mentioned the attribute. You may want to see the usage by executing iwextattr -h.

Hey, thnx

i cd do that. . .i got all of them. . .thanks to you. . am doing this for the first time. . .so Smiley Sad

---------------------------------------------------------------------
i am trying to store all the values i got by iwextattr -l into an array. i cant find any such example. i tried the normal way by saying
my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();

my @var;
push(@var,system $iwhome.'\bin\iwextattr -l y:/default/main/workarea/templatedata/global/footer/data/footer');

but this is not working. . . Smiley Sad

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
also, when i submit any file, a workflow is initiated which calls the ipl file which retrieves all the metadata . i need to get the name of the file due to which the workflow is initiated. can i do that? and if yes, what clt can i use? i am sorry, but i am not able to figure out. . .

You are in definite need to brush up your perl skills. The way you are trying to do is totally wrong. What I can think of is that you can redirect the output of that command to a file. Then read that file and populate a hash.

Make a CGITask as your first task. Use show_env.cgi as your CGI script which is available in iw-home. There you should get the name of the file as one of the parameters.

Are you sure that your own Perl is up to par? It's hard to find less efficient way to do it. How about the following?

use TeamSite::Config;
(my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome()) =~ tr|\\|/|;

my @attr_array = map{
   chomp $_;
   $_;
} qx($iwhome/bin/iwextattr -l /AssetVPath);

Sure enough, that'll give you an array of Attributes in the format "name=value", not just values

Or, if you want hash:

my %attr_hash = map{
   chomp $_;
   m/^(.+)=(.+)$/;
} qx($iwhome/bin/iwextattr -l /AssetVPath);

Well certainly not at per with your level Andy. I tried in my own limited way. And as you'd agree there are more than one way to do it in Perl.

Thanks for sharing the code though!

use TeamSite::Config;
(my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome()) =~ tr|\\|/|;
my @attributes = map{
chomp $_; $_;
} qx($iwhome/bin/iwextattr -l /AssetVPath);

I'm not Andy - but you are welcome Smiley Happy

Btw, why did you highlight standalone "$_;"? That's exactly what I intended
(eg, it is not a typo or something - just try with and without it)

hey, i got it. . .i did it this way :
my $str= $iwhome.'\bin\iwextattr -l y:/default/main/WORKAREA/templatedata/Global/Footer/data/footer';
my @arr=`$str`;

got all the attributes in the array this way. . . thanks a lot for your help Smiley Happy

Sure it'll work. Note though that you'll have an EOL at the end of each "name=value" String. In my sample I "chomp" it out

thanks for all the help. . . .do u know how i can get the name of the file due to which a workflow is instantiated?
