If you're trying to set EA with the attribute values stored in an XML file, the syntax is:

iwextattr -s ATTRIBUTE_NAME < XML_NAME -x vpath

Example: iwextattr -s TeamSite/Metadata/Language < abc.xml -x /default/main/BRANCH/WORKAREA/wa/file.pdf

Perhaps its just me, but I would be surprised at a redirection like that working within the middle of the command line.
I could see possibly doing it at the end, or doing it with a pipe at the beginning, but doing it in the middle seems highly suspect.

Hi,
The syntax : -s -x filename < xmlfilename
Eg: -s -x "1.pdf" <"1.xml" is working fine for me

Now i can set the EA value. But couldn't reset the ea field using xml file
If i give value element as <value> <value/> ", give error "value is not CDATA"
Can any one help me.

I don't believe it will let you set a null value to any key - at least not without a warning / error message. You could try putting a space in there (

) and I believe that should work, but you'll still have the key/value pair defined - albeit with a space.

If you want to delete a specific key / value pair you'll probably have to make a separate invocation of iwextattr with the -d flag.

Hi,

if we give the attribute value as <value> </value>(with a space in between), the same error 'value is not CDATA' is again coming

Hmm - perhaps try:

Also - despite getting the error - have you verified whether all the other values are getting set correctly? (I seem to recall that it complained about null or empty values but still proceeded through the rest of the XML).

As I said before - you may have to treat nullifications differently by using iwextattr -d rather than relying solely on the use of input XML.
