How to export meta-data

TP07830 — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 01:29:29 +0000

I am charged with archiving data from a legacy AS400 packaged system. I can export the data using attachmate and a few tricks to get it into XML on my LAN. However, the FDF info is not good as metadata, so I need to retrieve the field level that is available thru ‘file commands”display file field description’. That facility has the option to stream into a file which I could also get at through AttachMate. (1) Is there a way to do this for selective information rather than capturing all the extraneous stuff, and (2) is there was to do it preserving the display names for this metadata, such as in a ‘label’-'value’ pairing. Of course, I would like to do this one request per database, since each database has hundreds of tables.

I have been told that when examing a floppy dik the metadata showed no inconsistencies and that the dates are taken from the system clock and GMT. Is it therefore possible to manipulate the dates so they are both consistant with each other and what would have been tested on a disk to show GMT.

SharePoint 2007 global document policy

I want to set a global policy where every time someone uploads or creates a document in the share point he will need to enter some basic meta data about the document (like it’s security level and type)
not just on a site level but the entire portal.
we had a policy like that at the 2003 version but it stopped working once we migrated to Moss2007. how to I set it up again ?

Hello

I created metadata over a a “set” of files.

My next step is to define a primary over one of the files, and then foreign keys over the other files defined in my metadata relational database.

Unfortunately, when I attempt to define my primary key over the main file, I receive an SQL error message. I was able to determine that this is attributed to certain field names in the file beginning with special characters such as @, or $ which evidently SQL can not handle.
So, my question is, does anyone have a work around, or, do I need to rename all my fields in the relational database prior to creating the metadata ?

Thank you for your feedback.
