Need A Good Example of iw_ostream

iomike

Like the title says, I'm look for a good example of how the iw_ostream is used. I've looked in the example on my teamsite install, but it's not working for me. How are you doing the file names?

I've attached a sample file I'm working with....

I'm assuming you looked at:

http://TEAMSITEBOX/iw/help/tst/pt/TeamSite__PT__iw_ostream.html ?

I can't say that I've seen nested OSTREAM tags -- are you sure about that? What error(s) are you receiving?

This line:

<iw_ostream file='/about/news_center/{dcr.news_center.pagename}.xml' append='t'>

looks very suspicious. I think you want:

<iw_ostream file='/about/news_center/{iw_value name="dcr.news_center.pagename"/}.xml' append='t'>

I haven't used iw_ostream - but looking at the documentation for it, it looks like 'mode' defaults to 'docroot' - which, as I understand it (from looking at the documentation for iw_include) means that the path you're providing

/BroadcastandBusiness/markets/10001/includes/test.shtml

is a path within the workarea (starting from the top of the workarea).

Does the path workarea-name/BroadcastandBusiness/markets/10001/includes already exist?
If not - I believe you'd have to create it first.
If so - try leaving off the initial '/' in the attribute value and see if that helps.

If the intent was to create this file on the local file system - you'd probably still need to make sure the directory structure is there first, and you'd have to set mode to 'cwd'

Does that help?

I just noticed this in the iw_ostream documentation:

                     +----------------------------------------------------------+
                     | Advanced Users:                                          |
                     |                                                          |
                     | If this tag generates additional output files, and the   |
                     | template is being "previewed"  (see -iw_pt-preview in    |
                     | the FLAGS documentation of TeamSite:T::iw_pt), then    |
                     | the  tag will exit with an error message.                |
                     |                                                          |
                     | This is to prevent clobbering "generated" output and to  |
                     | avoid leaving auxilary "preview files" hanging around.   |
                     +----------------------------------------------------------+

Perhaps that explains what's happening?

2 issues. I use iw_ostream all the time. It is quite good. You may want to post your complete TPL & DCT if you need help.

The zz file is a preview file. That is generated when you preview a DCR. That file is hidden via the TS GUI because it will confuse the users to no end.

thanks...
See attached file simple example.

Just a thought... taken from the Forms Publisher Guide 6.0

[left]Within the "ruleset" element, "the

'root-container'

subelement is a container that represents the root node in the resulting XML file. It is required."
[/left]

I henna no see the root-container in your sample DCT.
