Thanks

What about using the DAR Installer ?

personally I use what is on the content server already and require my updates to be run from there. Usually updating the file sytem so not such a hardship requirement

It is very easy to find: you should look for "emc.install" string into all the EMC plug-in descriptors ("plugin.xml"). But I 99% sure, that this information does not help you. It looks that the Ant task does not work if it is not running from (Headless) Composer.

"EMC Documentum Composer Version 6.5 SP2 User Guide" (chapter 20) contains an example of running Ant scripts containing the Documentum Ant tasks.

I did find it but you cannot use it with Ant. you have to use it thru the Headless composer. But I have a intresting situation

when I call the headless composer from a bat file it works fine but when I call it thru the java ant task. It launches eclipse. Its not even composer. Any clues why that might be.

Try to use something like this in your script:

<java classpath="${composer.home.dir}/startup.jar" classname="org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main" dir="${composer.tempinstallworkspace.dir}" fork="true" failonerror="true" newenvironment="true">
 <jvmarg value="-Ddfc.properties.file=${deploy.dfc.properties}"/>
 <arg line="-data ${composer.tempinstallworkspace.dir}" />
 <arg line="-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner" />
 <arg line="-buildfile ${ant.file}" />
 <arg value="${target.installdar.name}" />
</java>

target.installdar.name - the property containing the name of the target (in the current script file) which uses Documentum Ant tasks.

Dmitri,

Thanks for all your help. Here is what I found

To actually run headless composer thru Ant. you have to not use the <args> tag. You have to use to pass it in one line. You can use either the exec task and use the args line attribute instead of specifing it on individual line.
