update metadata through workflow.

Question

I'm trying to update metadata with user id through workflow, when I was run the workflow on the particular that asset metadata should be update with the user id.

Write a workflow to save the name/id of the user on the metadata of the asset on which the workflow was run on in the field- "user id".

I need java code for this.

I hope you are aware of wring custom work flow process (Java which implements WorkflowProcess). Here, you need to write the actual logic.

Hi @nandigama_vamsi
how to update the metadata of an asset with the user ID using a workflow

import com.adobe.granite.workflow.WorkflowSession;
import com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec.WorkItem;
import com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec.WorkflowData;
import com.adobe.granite.workflow.metadata.MetaDataMap;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolver;

public class UpdateMetadataWorkflowProcess {

    public void execute(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap metaDataMap) {
        try {
            // Get the user ID
            String userId = workItem.getWorkflow().getInitiator();

            // Get the asset path
            String assetPath = workItem.getWorkflowData().getPayload().toString();

            // Get the resource resolver
            ResourceResolver resourceResolver = workflowSession.adaptTo(ResourceResolver.class);

            // Update the metadata of the asset
            Resource assetResource = resourceResolver.getResource(assetPath);
            ModifiableValueMap metadata = assetResource.adaptTo(ModifiableValueMap.class);
            metadata.put("user id", userId);
            resourceResolver.commit();

            // Log the success message
            workflowSession.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap().put("success", "Metadata updated successfully");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Log the error message
            workflowSession.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap().put("error", "Failed to update metadata: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
