XML Metadata Extractor

The XML metadata extractor is a UE module that extracts metadata associated with CA DataMinder events stored on the CMS whose actual message data is stored in a third-party archive. The extracted metedata is written to XML output files.

This enables organizations to import the extracted metadata into their archive and store it with the actual message data. In effect, it enables organizations to designate their archive solution as a definitive system of record for all event data.

Extracting event metadata to XML output files is a two‑step process:

1. Create an XML job definition document. This contains the configuration parameters and defines which events are eligible for extraction.
2. Schedule the job. Because the extraction jobs are run from a command line, you can use any compatible scheduler to run regular extraction jobs.

Note: Instructions for importing the metadata from the XML output files into your archive are beyond the scope of this Deployment guide.
