Automatic submission of DCR's to staging area

vinitha

Hi,
Thanks in advance. I have a workflow, which would do the task of deploying the files generated from the dcr to the production server. Now the developers need the additional functionality of automatic submision of the DCR's to the staging area of TeamSite associated with the files being deployed to production site.

This is very easy

Add an external task to get the DCR that created the HTML

Add a submit task if it is not there.

Thanks for your response. The external task you had mentioned, is that a perl script?

A perl script you need to write, yes

Vinitha,

Are the generated files being attached to the workflow after generation? If yes, just add a submit task after that.

If not, add an external task (Perl Script) which takes the generated file, attach them to workflow and use iwsubmit CLT to submit the files.

you are giving a WRONG advice. Because, if the workflow takes just some generated content, DCR is not automatically attached (generally speaking, it might be attached by TeamSite automatically in some circumstances, but not always and one should not rely on this fact).

Hi,

Thanks all for your comments. Yes Greg, you are right. The DCR's does not automatically gets submitted.

Thanks Greg for pointing out the concept, however i was just asking if the files being generated (by generate tool or external task) are being attached 'manually' to the workflow?

Vinitha: On a more clear point - Are you attaching the generated files to the workflow after generation using any external task.

If yes, then you can use iwsubmit... within the same task.
If no, then add an external task; attach the generated files to wf and submit them as well.

Now the developers need the additional functionality of automatic submision of the DCR's to the staging area of TeamSite associated with the files being deployed to production site.

As per your earlier query, you have to associate the DCR's as well with your workflow and use a submit task.

From what Vinitha has said already - this is perfectly clear. IF the files were generated in the workflow, the question would not have come up in this form altogether. Because, in order to generate the files, one needs to submit a DCR at least. Which was not the case. I repeat - please try not to make the simple thing more complicated. Just do not comment on this.
