Batch process to create large number of metadata fields in UCM?

Question

Is there any kind of scripting available to create a large number of metadata fields in UCM?.
thanks

I can give you a code in java, which adds two metadata fields. It's quite hardcoded, but you could use it as a basis for a script:
String FIELD1_NAME = "xsecretKey";
String FIELD2_NAME = "xattachmentID";
if (binder == null)
binder = new DataBinder(SharedObjects.getSafeEnvironment());
String maxOrderQuery = "select MAX(dOrder) as dOrder from DocMetaDefinition";
try
String val = loader.getDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, null);
//binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD1_NAME);
binder.putLocal("dName", FIELD2_NAME);
ResultSet tempRs = ws.createResultSet("Qmetadef", binder);
if (val == null || tempRs.isEmpty())
ResultSet rset = ws.createResultSetSQL(maxOrderQuery);
String orderStr = ResultSetUtils.getValue(rset, "dOrder");
int order = NumberUtils.parseInteger(orderStr, 0);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "BigText", "secretKey", "<$dateCurrent()*1$>");
addNewMetadataField(FIELD1_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
setNewFieldParams(binder, "Text", "attachmentID", null);
addNewMetadataField(FIELD2_NAME, binder, ++order, null, null, ws, cxt);
rset = ws.createResultSetSQL("select * from DocMeta where dID=0");
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD1_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD1_NAME
}, 200);
//fi[0].m_type = 5;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
if (!testResultSetFieldExists(rset, FIELD2_NAME))
FieldInfo fi[] = loader.createFieldInfo(new String[] {
FIELD2_NAME
}, 30);
//fi[0].m_type = 3;
ws.alterTable("DocMeta", fi, null, new String[] {
"dName"
loader.setDBConfigValue(COMPONENT_NAME, COMPONENT_SUBNAME, "7.0", "1");
catch (Exception e)
SystemUtils.dumpException(null, e);
}
