OD DNR return code

Hi all,

I need some input on a DNR return code problem:

I have included an exe-binary as DNR-script:

<dnrDeployment location="source" when="before">
<script cmd="c:\myexefile.exe some_parameters..." async="no" />
</dnrDeployment>

The exe file returns number exit codes like
0 (great, everything's fine)
1 (ooops, little error)
2 (aarrrghhh, what are you doin'?!)

OD doesn't react to these exit codes.
If my exe-file returns an 1, OD returns "Status: Completed" anyway.

Some other threads say, that a DNR-script has to write a line like
<response code="0"/>
to STDOUT, so that OD reacts on this line.

Is there a possibility to configure OD, so that standard number exit codes 0,1,2,... are evaluated by OD?

Using OD6.0.1 on Win2003.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Currently OD only reacts to the -2 response code via the XML snippet piped to standard out. This enables the DNR to trigger a deployment failure.

There's an open Feature Request (# 41736) for supporting multiple return codes from DNRs.

You'll need a wrapper script that runs your binary - checks the exit status - and if it fails, spits out the appropriate XML

<response code="-2"/>
(with newline at end)

in order to signal to OD that the script failed.

If your DNR script writes a bunch of miscellaneous data to STDOUT prior to writing <response code="0"/> or <response code="-2"/>
will the success or failure status be recognized by OD? Or do you have do suppress all writing to STDOUT except for the response code line?

OD currently honours only <response code="-2"/> . Any other codes are ignored. You don't have to suppress all your writing to stdout. OD will try to parse the output for response code line.
