how to set extended attribute

Hi All,

I want to set extended attibutes(eamanifest.xml) to hundreds of files for spar.
How to achieve it? Is it a manual process or do we any script to extract extended attributes for the content?

Thanks,
Adarsh

You will need to create a script for this which would set extended attribute for each file in SPAR.

Thanks mabubhai for your reply .
I wanted to know if the file (eamanifest.xml) can be generated through any Teamsite default script . Or if you have the same anywhere . It will be great if you can share the same.

It's not, in the same way that no script is provided to create spars. You must create it on your own, to suit your specific purposes.

We pondered on this topic a few years back while deploying assets across servers. As very correctly quoted, you do not have any OOTB script to do this. I would also suggest against building a very heavy earmanifest file. A few quick tips:

1) If your objective of creating a spar is to move assets across teamsite servers on the same VLAN/NETWORK, please use opendeploy.
2) If you are planning to move assets across servers which belong to different networks, you will mostly require EA's for DCR's. Pages and static assets would work just fine unless they have been heavily tagged. Use scripts to set EA's at this end.

Different projects have different best practice. Please adopt an option that suits you best!
