Setting EA on images in teamsite

Pallavi Singh

Hi,

I need a help here as i have to add extended attributes for images in teamsite by reading the attributes/tags from an excel sheet.
Is there any way of setting EA's by reading excel sheet which contains image names and attributes/tags against multiple images?

I am using TS 8.2, Windows and Java.

Thanks in advance.

There is no OOTB solution for what you are trying to do, however if your development skills are reasonable then it should not be too difficult.

Is this a 1 time import or will it be run all the time ?

You can have a Java app that reads the spreadsheet and then runs the CDDSK to set the appropraite EAs.

I did parsing of excel and now trying to set extended attribute by reading a column from the excel where i have mentioned the file path as Y:\default\main\Branch\WORKAREA\shared\SomeFolder\image.jpg.

My code:

if (new File(filePath).exists())
{
%>

File Found. Setting attribute...

<% //running command for setting EA } else { %>

Not a valid file

<%
}

I am checking the file existence but it is failing to enter in if section and throwing error as Not a valid file.

Any suggestions...

Thanks in advance

What class are you using to set the file ? Most of the classes need a type of CSFile maybe you are calling it with an incorrect type.
