issue with iwextattr on xml

JoeS

I'm working on a perl script that will read the extended attributes of an xml file and then write them out to a pdf file. I'm running into trouble with the iwextattr command and no value is getting returned when I search for an attribute.

$command = "/iw-home/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwextattr -g TeamSite/Metadata/ComplianceCodeReason $filepath ";

Also the -l command isn't working either. Thanks for any advice.

how do you mean ? The EA data you are querying is a space according to the XML you posted,

JoeS

Here's the xml without any spaces. Still getting error "sh key: cannot open".

Is that only from the script or is that the case from the command line? How are you running the script?

JoeS

I'm running it from the command line:

-bash-3.00$ iwperl read_file_submit.ipl
/default/main/mfs/WORKAREA/mfsemc/files/static/hp/placeholder6.pdf
/default/main/mfs/WORKAREA/mfsemc/files/static/hp/placeholder7.pdf

sh: key: cannot open

In your script print out the exact command and run it from the command line.

JoeS

Same result as running the script:

[HTML]
-bash-3.00$ /iw-home/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwextattr -g TeamSite/Metadata/ComplianceCodeReason /iwmnt/default/main/mfs/WORKAREA/mfsemc/files/static/hp/placeholder.xml
EA TeamSite/Metadata/ComplianceCodeReason not found
[/HTML]

Try without /iwmnt.

Also run iwextattr -l on the same file

Adam Stoller

Also try running /bin/ls -l on the file in question. The "Cannot open" error sounds like it could be either a mis-typed path (file doesn't exist) or a permissions issue.

JoeS

OK - found the problem. It's not returning a value because there are no extended attributes set on the placeholder.xml. It's just a text file. Metadata needs to be stored in the content store and can only be set either via Tagging or by using iwextattr -s. So now I need to parse the contents of the XML file and use that to set EAs. Thanks.
