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.
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.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
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.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
Any metadata that does not correspond to the rules set forth by the filter are removed from the active metadata. Note that the
metadata is still "present", but is disabled and ignored on all tasks that uses metadata afterwards.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified metadata.
