The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
NewWild Card
For a given Metadata Field Management action, all nodes of a given level mightbe updated with a new Field Value.To accom-
modate this,metadata/data selection functions have beenmodified to accept a wild card parameter "?", indicating the function
operates on allnodes (not just one) of a given level.For example, in a PDF emulation, the format of a selected region is:
region(?,0.59375,2.21875,1.85416,2.51041,KeepCase,NoTrim)
where “?” represents the current physical data page processed by the task.
Limitations
l The name of the metadata field to add must adhere to thess syntax rules: start with a letter, followed by zero or more
letters, numbers, underscore or dash. The name is not case-sensitive.
l Metadata Fields Management actions on the Page level are not possible since the entire task execution is based on the
data page node.
l The task raises an error if the selected Metadata Fields Management action is Sum and if one of the field valuesis not
numeric.The task supports approximately 15 digits of precision in a range from 2.23 x 10
-308
to 1.79 x 10
308
.
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.
Input:
This task takes any file as input and does not modify it.
Process:
This task does not execute any change to the process, its files or variables. It only executes the selected action on Metadata.
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.
