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).
Properties
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 variables. 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.
