DocumentManagementClient.GetNode() does not return Metadata

How do I get the metadata for a node. I created the node with DocumentManagementClient.CreatNode(otauth,Node) and all my specified metadata was created. But when I get the node Metadata is nothing. Specifically I am trying to retrieve the specifics tab for a physical object. Any help.

    The node was actually created on Content Server and has all of the metadata that you entered from CWS, but when you call document management's "GetNode" and pass in the node ID, the resulting node does not have Metadata on it, as in the Metadata is missing or empty?

    That is correct. Calling Getnode(otauth,id) retrieves the node but Metadata is nothing. Any ideas on how to get metadata to populate?

    Should have already been populated.  Can you try something... add a category with at least one attribute (and a value in that attribute, say a string of text in a Text Field) to that node.  Then try the GetNode again, and see if Metadata gets populated (it should).

    Ok I added a cat and att and getnode did populate with 1 attribute group as expected. Now how do I get the rest of the attributes from the specific tab. For example I want to get the pofromdate and offsite storage id.

    I tried this;Node = DocumentServiceClient.GetNode(otauth,id)For each Cat as cws.AttributeGroup in Node.Metadata.attributegroupsFor each Att as object in Cat.valuesMsgbox (“Category “ & Cat.displayname & “ Attribute “ & att.description & “ first value “ & att.values(0)NextNextThere must be a more elegant way to do this without iteration. But maybe it can get you started.
