RTFM... OpenDeploy Reference.

For starting... there is a xml config file, which has all the info about source and target servers, where you have OD installed (under conf folder).

Also fro the worklfow you have to call an external task (ipl file) which uses iwodstart command to deploy the pages.

1. You will need an *external task* in your workflow to run a script which will execute system commands - Workflow Developers Guide
2. iwsubmit - for submitting your files -TeamSite Command-Line Tools
3. iwodcmd - for executing the deployment (assuming you already have a deployment.xml configured) - OpenDeploy Administration Guide
4. If you need to pass substitution values to your deployment configuration, you will need to pass these variables to your externaltask script and build the iwodcmd command with the proper -k switches before executing deployment

Refer the mentioned documentation for specific details

Good news -- this is basically a universal (i.e. extremely common) requirement

Bad news -- it seems as though you really need to read the ... manuals, as kaalraa suggested

Guys
I am using the example configurable_author_submit.wft givenby the interwoven for the workflow.I used the config file to change the settings.

All my workflow works except the Deployment to another server.If i test using the Opendeploy administration site, my deployment is successfull.

Kindly advise how to enable the opendeploy feature in the workflow,currently
in configurable_author_submit.cfg i have set deploy_task=yes.

Hi Guys,

I am recieving an error in error log as below

Thu Apr 20 16:07:59 2006 - System environment variable IWODHOME is not set.
It must be set to the OpenDeploy home directory.
To set, issue from a DOS window: set IWODHOME=pathToYourODHome
Example: set IWODHOME=C:\iw-home\OpenDeployNG
To check, issue from a DOS window: echo %IWODHOME%

I have set the IWODHOME but still not able to resolve kindly advise

In your script, insert the following:

BEGIN {
   $ENV{"IWODHOME"} = "hard-code the path to your IWODHOME directory";
};

That's according to your error message, although I *think* the environment variable might be IWOD60HOME but try the code above first.

Could you have missed that at concatenation of your path string in your script?
how are you invoking deployment?
if you could paste a snippet of what you are actually doing then someone might be able to help better.

SSL deployments are covered in the documentation. They're too detailed to get into here -- do some reading.

If you're using OpenDeploy 6.x - the environment variable should be IWOD60HOME not IWODHOME - and it should be set in the system environment section for the server.

If you're calling OD from a CGI script - you also need to export the IWOD60HOME environment variable through Apache - in the IWHOME/iw-webd/conf/httpd.conf.template file - there's a line that reads:

PassEnv IWODHOME IWODRMIPORT

which needs to be changed to:

PassEnv IWOD60HOME IWODRMIPORT

(I think you can actually get rid of the IWODRMIPORT altogether, but I'm not sure) - once you change the template, you need to rebuild the config file from it (I believe an iwreset -ui will do that for you).

(the lack of the IWOD60HOME entry in the httpd.conf.template file should be reported as a bug to Interwoven)

If you're using OpenDeploy 5.x - you should probably upgrade - but you need to make sure that the IWODHOME system environment is set on the server.

Considering the SSL deployments require the configuring of the SSL directives in the deployment configuration file and the receiver's server configuration file - what do you think?

i was setting up ssl for opendeploy for the first time..and i came across this step in page 287(od administration guide release 6.0)saying i need to make sure that the od-home/bin is included in the PATH environment variable.

my question is what do i have to name this path???it was not stated in the guide.
Thanks.

PATH *is* the environment variable. It's saying that your od-home/bin directory should be included in the list of directories already in your PATH environment variable.

You can see your environment variables in your shell on either Windows or Unix (I should say, MOST flavors of Unix respond to this command) by typing "

set

" at your command prompt. PATH is listed there.

Are you on Windows or Unix?
