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.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page663.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
