File List on Reciever?

DavidMusser

I just don't remember... maybe it was the long nights, and cafinee does rot your brain, but I just don't remember... so to keep me from having to read the manual :-)
Just tell me if this is in the product or not as of 6.02...

I know that if I run a dnr on the reciever I can get a list of the files in the deployment in a manifest format ( I believe it is that format)... now I need that to be in a file for my script to read. So I can either write this to a file or is there a way for 6.02 to tell it to create a file?

I don't believe there is a way to do this by default, but I figured that before I went through all the file creation logic I'd check. Unfortunatly the script that I have to use can not accept a stream, and only a file....

The file would be something like

-Added
foo/bar/file.htm
foo/bar/file.htm
foo/bar/file.htm

-Removed
foo/bar/file.htm
foo/bar/file.htm

or something like that...So pardon the question if It's like on page 1 of the od admin guide ;-)

The receiver does have manifest files written to it - e.g. rcv.prod_file_list_5763.MYDEF1.mybaseserver.to.myreceiver.log.mf - but the format is XML like:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<iwodManifest type="transfer">
<profile srcPlatform="UNIX" srcDir="/default/main/ED/en/ABOUTED/STAGING"
trgPlatform="UNIX" trgDir="/preview/en"/>
<item path="about/offices/list/oese/contacts.html" type="FILE" reason="FILELIST"
action="UPDATE" status="COMPLETED" statusDetail=""
srcDir="/default/main/ED/en/ABOUTED/STAGING" trgDir="/preview/en"/>
<item path="metadata/about/offices/list/oese/contacts.html" type="FILE" reason="FILELIST"
action="UPDATE" status="COMPLETED" statusDetail=""
srcDir="/default/main/ED/en/ABOUTED/STAGING" trgDir="/preview/en"/>
...
</iwodManifest>

Of course, you need to figure out the name of the file, and I'm not sure whether the file would already exist at the time your DNR kicked off, or whether it would normally get written out after the deployment is completed ....

Or you can use some programming language for your DNR script that *can* read in a stream from STDIN (also in XML format) and parse it to get your list of deployed, deleted files, etc.
