Hi there,

 

I need to massively update tags and description (dc:description) to some of my assets saved on AEM. Is there an OOB API I can use for it?

As I key I would like to use the name of the file.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Serena Pitotti

Hi @serenapitotti 

 

There are various options available to do this which depend upon whether you are using AEM 6.5 or AEM as a Cloud Service. This previous thread has details on those options - https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager-assets/how-to-bulk-update-metadata-in-aem-assets/td-p/573132

 

Please go through these and check if these are helpful and let us know for any additional questions.

 

Thanks

Narendra

      @serenapitotti 
      I had to massively update metadata for all the 200000 assets we have.
      My approach was to export all the relevant information via a csv export, 
      then using the excel powerquery function to create new tags, based of assetpath and other tags based on the filename.

      Sorry again - no API solution - but it worked like a charm.

        And what about the publication of the assets?

          Hi @serenapitotti, could you please elaborate a bit on the need?
          What i was describing was a way to update, transform or generate new properties for pretty much any metadata property within aem.

          So it works very well for dc:description as well as cq:tags.
          My approach is done by excel power query - which allows you to use any function that power query brings to the table. 
          dc:description might be a bit strange, depending if you are using text that includes characters that a CSV file usualy uses as a seperator. But even that can be worked arround. 
          So, could you please elaborate a bit more on your situation?
          I would like to help you, but I seem to not understand the situation, since I still firmly believe that my solution would solve the problem.
