Exporting Property Metadata

Hi,
does anybody know how to export and import property metadata from one system to another?
I have created some properties through System Configuration>Content Management>Global Services>Property Metadata>Properties. Now I want to export this properties and import them to the test system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gregori,
if you are on NW04, go to the place you described by your own, choose Actions -> Export -> Start from the top menu, mark the properties you whish to export, choose Export, choose settings, choose OK; you can add other configurations as well into the same export, like new namespaces...
After done, choose Actions - Export - Finalize, fill in an Archive Name, choose OK.
Now you can download the configArchive.
You can import it via Actions - Import.
Hope it helps

Property Metadata don't change when deploying project

Hi,
1.) I used this help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/2dff5a13363f0ae10000000a114a6b/content.htm
to create my own commands, uicommands, etc.
2.) I also created manually in: System Administration => System Configuration => Knowledge Management => Content Management => Global Services => Property Metadata my own properties to extend the userdetails like described in http://help.sap.com/bp_epv170/EP_US/Documentation/How-to/KM/Extending_User_Details.pdf
This all works perfectly.
Instead of creating and exporting all my Property Metadata manually I exported them (I have now a XML) and integrated them into my Project => see 1.)
I also found this post: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/message?messageID=3533233
So, when I deploy my project and the properties aren't existing the are created immediately. BUT when I change something in the property metadata XML in my project and I redeploy the project the existing property doesn't change.
I don't want to delete everytime all my properties to make changes active.
With uicommands I don't have this problems. When I change there something I can deploy the project, new uicommands will be added and existing ones will be updated. Unfortunately not by property metadata.
Do you have any ideas why this happens?
Regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
you might have a versioning problem when merging the new KM configuration from your project with the existing configuration in KM. That would explain why everything works fine if you delete the existing settings first but it won't if you try to overwrite the existing settings!
KM merges the configuration when you deploy a PAR file with configuration. You need to tell the system that the settings in the PAR file should replace the existing settings. This can be done by including the file export_cm_mapping.xml into your project. (At least that is the name of the file in NW04). You can get this file by exporting some configuration from your KM system with the KM export functionality and unzip the resulting configarchive file. It should contain the correct export_cm_mapping.xml file. Just take this file and put it into the src.config directory in the same path. (For NW04 that is: src.config/install/data/system/command/export_cm_mapping.xml.)
Hope this helps,
Martin

How to insert a space-bar in the Muse CC master slide page property metadata

I'm using the latest version of Muse CC and need to know how to insert a space-bar in the master slide page property metadata page title suffix area

I found it. If anyone else has this problem press the shift and \ at the same time on a standard windows keyboard.

Context right-click to export XMP metadata to file

I'd like to have the right click context menu include the option to "Export XMP Metadata to Files" in the Library grid or filmstrip. Currently an annoying trip to the Menu bar is required to invoke this function.

It was there for B4.1. The Contextual Menus are getting crowded, so maybe that's why they took it out.
I like lots of Contexual Menus,too. But they get a little useless if too crowded, so maybe they need ot be user configuarable for what one uses the most.
Maybe by V1.5?

How to export custom metadata fields

How do I export custom metadata fields (or even the DATE) to a text or spreadsheet? Why does Aperture have dozens of metadata choices, but only allows a few to be exported?

You can try Automator which must be installed already in your computer. Create a new workflow, on the left pane select Aperture to see a list of actions, select "get selected items" and "extract metadata", and drag both to the right most pane. there you'll choose the Tag names to extract from the images already selected inside aperture and choose an output method, tabbed text should work fine for a spreadsheet. Hope it works.

Icon for Property Metadata

Hello everyone,
I want to assign an icon to every Property Metadata that i define.
When you create a new property, you can enter property metadata values in csv format. Is it possible to associate an Icon as well with the MetaData Property ?
Its possible to enter MIME types as well in csv format. I am trying to use it but the tab is not displayed if I use any property renderer related to image. If I set "property renderer" to "Not set" then I can see my MetaData values but no Icons / Images.
I believe, diplaying images as property metadata should be possible. Has anyone tried it? I am not using the correct combination of property and property renderer I guess.
Help me out in this case ..
Cheers!!
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
Form my understanding of the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/1a/9a4a3b80f2ec40aa7456bc87a94259/content.htm">OnlineHelp</a>, I do not see how to do what you want without programming.
The MIME types we can enter in CSV format, refer to a list of document types to property apply.
As the allowed values are "text", I do not expect it is possible to associate images to these texts.
Sorry not to have better news

Get a list of all available Property MetaData through API

Hello,
We have create some custom Property MetaData and assigned them to an new group.
Now I need to be able to get a list of all the Property MetaData in this new group using a SAP portal API.
But the only code snippets I've found requires at least the name if the property metadata.
In other cases a KM IResource object is needed but then you only have the property metadata that's applicable on that IResource.
Is it possible to do what I have in mind?
If so can you point me into the correct direction, or provide a code example.
I've been looking at the IMetaModel, IMetaGroupListIterator, IMetaGroup etc but I've not found any solution.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Dries

Hi
Try this:
IConfigurationAccess icAccess = Configuration.getInstance();
IWDClientUser wdcu = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = wdcu.getSAPUser();
IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
IConfigClientContext confContext = IConfigClientContext.createContext(user);
IConfigManager icManager = icAccess.getConfigManager(confContext);
IConfigPlugin icPlugin = icManager.getConfigPlugin(ConfigurationProxy.CFG_PLUGIN_CM_SERVICES_PROPERTIES_METADATA);
IMutableConfigurable[] mcs = icPlugin.getConfigurables();
this mcs object will give you list of all meta data property for this user.
Hope this helps

Need to export custom metadata fields to a national data base, can I ???

In Aperture3 are custom tags embedded in exported Versions or Masters. I have a task to embed matadata on 2000 items and need to pass on the information to someone who doesn’t have Aperture

I am not sure whether you really can embed custom metadata in the jpeg file itself. However you can quite easily export all metadata associated with a file in Aperture using AppleScript. The script below shows you how it works in principle with the different data categories in aperture: IPTC, custom fields etc. To adapt the script to your needs, replace eg "Photo Category" with the name of your own custom field. By copy/paste you can add more fields...
tell application "Aperture"
set tSelection to the selection
-- this is the header, not really necessary
set tValues to "Version Name" & tab
set tValues to tValues & "File Name" & tab
set tValues to tValues & "Keywords" & tab
set tValues to tValues & "Category" & tab
set tValues to tValues & return
--here starts the real stuff
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in tSelection
set tImg to item i of tSelection
--add Version name
try
set t to name of tImg
on error
set t to ""
end try
set tValues to tValues & t & tab
try
--add FileName
set t to the value of other tag "FileName" of tImg
on error
set t to ""
end try
set tValues to tValues & t & tab
try
--add IPTC tag
set t to the value of IPTC tag "Keywords" of tImg
on error
set t to ""
end try
set tValues to tValues & t & tab
try
--add a custom field
set t to the value of custom tag "Photo Category" of tImg
on error
set t to ""
end try
set tValues to tValues & t & tab
--next line/image
set tValues to tValues & return
end repeat
set f to choose file name with prompt "Choose file name..."
set my_log to tValues
set mylogfile to open for access f with write permission
set eof of mylogfile to 0
write my_log to mylogfile starting at eof
close access mylogfile
end tell

Exporting Custom Metadata to Excel

I've created custom metadata views and presets for cataloging my images. Is it possible to export this metadata into an Excel spreadsheet as a CSV or TSV file? File/Export/Metadata exports standard metadata, but not my custom fields and entries. Or, is it possible to export XMP sidecar files and somehow import those into Excel? All that data is there somewhere within Aperture - please help me get it out and into a spreadsheet! Thanks.

Replace property metadata values with icons

Hello everybody,
   We have created a new property metadata with specific allowed values. Then we created a new layout set to list a repository including that metadata. We are wondering if there is a way to replace the specific metadata values in the list with a set of icons to improve the look and feel.
   Best regards,
       Virgilio Ruiz

Hi Virgilio
Here a description how to use one of the standard property renderers that touches your needs:

If it does not cover your needs, you should go for development as suggested by Robert.

Rename property metadata and keep values

Hello,
I tried to rename a property metadata by changing the property id.
Then I saw that the values of the changed property will not be shown. Is there a way to keep the values and to change the property id?

Hi,
i've created a WebDynpro that makes the changes at table UME_STRINGS. You only have to change the ATTR- and ATTRH-values.
I hope this table will not be changed by SAP at next time.

Adding Property MetaData to Upload screen

Hi,
I would like to add some Property Metadata for documents that I upload to the KM.
I have managed to created a new tab with all my properties, but I would like to have some of these properties on the first screen of the upload process, meening, near the name & description of the file - and not inside a different tab.
Any suggestions how to add properties near the name and description of the file.
Thanks in advance,
Aviad

Hi Avaid and Kiran,
Creation of Property Metadata:
navigate to: System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Property Metadata.
This would give you all the properties that are linked with content management.
When you check Details of any document, the properties (modified date, created date, etc) all exist in the above mentioned Property Metadata.
If exists, you can use the property.
Read more:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/75/e000861cb8ad4b8e4f19dd6416346d/frameset.htm
Assuming that it does exist then how should you add this property such that its visible/accessing in Document details:
Navigate to => System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Property Structures.
The tabs that you see in Document details are all placed in tabs.
If you want your property to be placed in a different one, then create your tab, add your property and add this tab in the all_groups tab.
The link given above contains all details.
Please check these documents:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/how to configure predefined properties with dependent values.pdf
and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/working with metadata properties in km.pdf
All the best!

Property metadata

In Global services, I've created a group in property metadata.
Then I clicked on the property option, and created a property with:
Namespace alias-default
Type-String
Group-"The one I created above"
Allowed values csv-a, b, c
documents/<The folder in which i had created a .txt file before>
Clicked OK.
I navigated to Content Admin-> KM Content -> /documents/<myfolder>, Clicked on a text file within that -> Details -> Settings -> Properties.
There I do not see My Property
Any idea if Im missing something here

Hi Prem,
in order to see your property, you need to integrate it in a Property (Structure) Group and not only in a Property (Metadata) Group. You can create this group under "Global Services" -> "Property Structures" -> "Property Groups" and add your property to the "Group Items". Afterwards you need to add the just created group to the "Group Items" of the Property (Structure) Group "all_groups". By that you will have a new tab with your property in it.
Alternatively, if you use the Property (Metadata) Group "default" in your property definition (and not your own group, you should be able to see your property in the "Miscellaneous" tab, without having to add it to a Property (Structure) Group.
Hope this helps,
Robert
PS: Check again all parameters, to be correct, as mentioned in SAPHelp. For example the entry for "Document Validity Patterns (csv)" must be "/documents/<YOUR_FOLDER>/".

Sorting for property metadata

Hi All
I have created a custom metadata and KM navigation iview. This custom metadata property
is displayed in the iview using layout set. I am getting the option to sort by this property. Is there any way to remove the sorting option for metadata properties?
Points will be awarded for useful answers.

Yoga

That's it!
To change the data type of a property you have to change it on database.
So you'll first change the type-attribute of your property (in the "Property Metadata") into the used type.
Then you open the "Enterprise Manager Console" as standalone to edit the database. Enter the network => Databases => DATABASE.world and login as sysdba => enter scheme => sapDATABASEdb => tables => kmc_dbrm_names. Here you can have a look for your property (show content). The ID belongs to you'd notice.
After that you're changing to database kmc_dbrm_props (show content). Select (by SQL-Statement) the localnameid by the noticed number. By changing the column "typ" or "type" you can change the datas type.
1 stands for string
3 stands for integer
5 stands for date
All of the type-numbers you can find in the table kmc_dbrm_props. The content it belongs to you'll have to find out on your own. By using SQL-Statement you can change all entries you want.
Good Luck ;-D
