Metadata File Management
The Metadata File Management Action Task is used to execute actions on Metadata files. This task does not modify the data,
job infos, variables or any other part of your process.
Task Input:
This task takes any file as input and does not modify it.
Task Process:
This task does not execute any change to the process, its files or variables. It only executes the selected action on Metadata.
Task Output:
This task outputs the exact same data that was given to it. Its metadata will either be missing (Delete Metadata), Changed
(Load Metadata)or the same (Save Metadata).
The Metadata Management Action Task properties are as follows:
l Chose an action group
l Load metadata file:Loads an external metadata file that was previously saved. This can be useful in Error
processes if you have previously saved the Metadata to file (ErrorBin outputs do not transfer Metadata).
l Save the current metadata file:Saves the current metadata to a specified location. Useful as a backup or
for use in Error processes.
l Delete the current metadata file:Removes the active metadata from the process. Useful when using a
secondary input task that does not automatically regenerates metadata. No metadata will be available until
another task generates it.
l Metadata Folder:Use Browse to find the location of the folder where to save the files or enter a path using var-
iables. Not active when the delete action is chosen.
l Metadata Filename: Enter a static or variable name for the metadata file to load. Not active when the delete action
is chosen.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 54).
Metadata Filter
The task allows specifying the Level (Group, Document and Datapage) on which to perform the action and under which con-
dition. At least one level must have the condition set. The action will be performed sequentially beginning with the rule on the
Group level, Document level and Data page level. The selection is performed on the node only.
Metadata Filter task properties are as follows:
