Creating a Custom Resource

Creating a Custom Resource

Create a custom resource to extract metadata from sources for which Metadata Manager does not package a resource type.
Before you create a custom resource, you must create the custom model and upload the load template. If you use an extraction command file, you must also set the mm.allow.preload.command custom property for the Metadata Manager Service to true.
  1. On the
    Load
     tab, click
    Actions
    New Resource
    .
    The
    Resource Selection
     window appears.
  2. In the
    Other
     folder, select the custom resource type.
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Properties
     window appears.
  4. Enter the resource name and optional description.
  5. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Input Files
     window appears.
  6. If you use an extraction command file, click
    Upload
     and select the file.
  7. Add or upload the metadata source files:
    • Add metadata source files when you store the files in a directory that the Metadata Manager web application can access and the files change.
    • Upload metadata source files when the files do not change. Metadata Manager uploads the files into the Metadata Manager repository.
  8. Update the file properties for each metadata source file, if required.
  9. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Mapping Rules
     window appears.
  10. Assign each metadata source file to one or more mapping rules.
    If you upload metadata source files, Metadata Manager displays the mapping rule associations at the bottom of the
    Mapping Rules
     window. If you add metadata source files, you must assign the files to mapping rules manually.
    To assign a metadata source file to mapping rules, select the file, select the mapping rules, and click
    Assign
    .
    To delete an association between a metadata source file and a mapping rule, click
    Remove
     at the bottom of the
    Mapping Rules
     window.
  11. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Enumerated Links
     window appears.
  12. Optionally, add or upload the files that contain enumerated links information:
    • Add enumerated links files when you store the files in a directory that the Metadata Manager web application can access and the files change.
    • Upload enumerated links files when the files do not change. Metadata Manager uploads the files into the Metadata Manager repository.
  13. Update the file properties for each enumerated links file, if required.
  14. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Schedule
     window appears.
  15. Specify whether to attach a schedule.
  16. Click
    Finish
    .
    Metadata Manager creates the custom resource.
After you create the resource, you can configure linking rules, load the resource, and create links between resources.
