Metadata not getting extracted for images copied to var/dam

Veena_07 Jun 5, 2013 11:32 PM

Requirement : Resize the image uploaded from desktop

I am moving my image uploaded from desktop (which is present as a file node in my page as below)

I am copying the jcr:content of this file to a file node(eg: test2.jpg) created in my var/dam

When i do this step , a launcher will be initiated for DAM Asset Synchroniztion workflow process; which copies the asset from var/dam to content/ dam which will again initaite a launcher for DAM update Asset workflow process will be initaited . As per the workflow it has to create metadata for the image. But metadata is not getting created for my copied image. Can anyone help me ;why it is not getting created, because without metadata renditions is nt getting created

Thanks

Veena

Which version of CQ5 are you using? /var/dam was present till CQ 5.4; in CQ 5.5 and newer you don't need anymore /var/dam and the sync to /content/dam.

IS there any specific reason for copying in to var/dam? why cant you create asset directly in content/dam?
Create Asset instead of file. Use Asset Manager API for creating asset .

maruthid,

In versions <= 5.4, a content upload actually saves to /var/dam first (temporarily) and then the asset synchronization workflows kick in to extract metadata and save those to /content/dam.

Veena, do you have permission restrictions on /var/dam and /content/dam for the user you are using for saving to those places? I'd check those as those might be failing to write to crx. Also, check that your asset synchronization workflows are enabled and working (upload via CQ5 dam using the same user and see if that is working correctly).

Hi

@maruthid

      I am moving it to var/dam since a launcher is exisiting for that. Otherwise i hve to create the entire structure in content/dam.

@sarwar

    There is no restriction. Actuallly when i copy my file to var/dam ;the launcher is being executed and the file is been created as DAM Asset in content/dam. But , may be because i copied the file from my page node ; it is missing some properties needed for meta data extraction i guess. COuldn't figure out what exactly is happening

Thanks
