Metadata capture "erases" attached DCR

ReggieRWalker

Env: TS 6.1, sp1, Win2K
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a workflow that:
(a) CGI TASK: Prompts the user for DCR type
(b) CGI TASK: Creates "blank" DCR, provides user link to edit created DCR (using EDIT CCI URL), link to attach DCR to workflow
(c) CGI TASK: Add Metadata (using iwmetadata.cgi)
(d) EXTERNAL TASK: Generates ASP file.

Unfortunately, after the user Saves and Closes the Metadata Capture screen, the DCR that is generated has been restored to the same content that the "blank" DCR has (although the DCR was edited in Step b)?!?! Am I missing something? Is this expected behavior?

TIA

metadata capture does not regenerate DCRs, or any other files .... Check your workflow tasks to see what else could be contrubuting to this behaviour.

I understand that metadata capture does not regenerate files. I have an external task that generates the files. When I "Save & Close" the metadata capture screen, the workflow transitions to the generate task, at which point the DCR's content has been "erased." I'll file a support case, I just wanted to see if anyone else has seen that behavior.

Thanks

are you sure the content is there when you go to set the metadata?
if so - I'd look at your generate script.
if not - I'd look at what comes before the set metadata step

Thanks Fish.

I checked the DCR right before the metadata task - it's there- right *after* I click "Save and Close" I check again and it's gone...

So, it's actually changing before it gets to the generate script. Weird huh?

Could it be something in the iwmetadata.cgi?

Doesn't make any sense to me the way you describe it - I'd suggest opening a case with support - but I'm not sure they'll be able to help you either unless they can recreate the problem in-house

you should probably explain the process better. E.g.,do you set metadata on a DCR on on a ASP page? If it's on DCR, why? etc, etc.

I am with fish, when he says that this does not make sense to him...
