iw_solution_email.ipl

dkuntze

I've got some problems using a slightly modified copy of the iw_solution_emal.ipl script.

I'm getting a

Can't call method "GetId" on an undefined value

error message when I execute the externaltask:

<command v="C:\iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl C:\iw-home/local/config/wft/fnni/job_postings/iw_solution_email.ipl -t 'dqp_deploy' -t 'retry_deployment'"/>

I've attached the ipl script to assist.

Here's the generated wft:

Your problem is how your command is constructed.

The "-t" flag describes the task whose owner(s) is emailed about the notification. Instead of dqp_deploy and retry_deployment, your argument needs to be DQP Deploy and Retry Deployment, which is how you have the tasks defined.
