iwsubmit.exe (windows 2000 , TS 6.5)

Hi
I want to use an external task which will run a perl script.The perl script's work is to submit the content from workarea to stagging , on scheuled basis.
I guess using iwsubmit.exe should work .But how should I use the perl script to run iwsubmit.exe?
Please suggest if any other alternative is there.
Thanks

Hi,
perhaps you have a look on the CLT iwlistmod, this CLT returns al modified files in a specified workarea.
You can write a script which calls iwlistmod, and iwsubmit in a second step.

It can be easily run using the system command using one of the following methods:

1. `iwsubmit -u "comment"`

2. system(iwsubmit -u "comment")

NOTE: Before using check the exact syntax of the command.

I want to get all the modified files in a STORE to be submitted.

Within a STORE .. there is no method to fecth the list of modified files.

Only iwlistmod can provide you the list of modified files and thats only from within a specified WORKAREA.

Write a script that traverses every workarea in every branch of the store to find all the modified files and submit them.

Note - if you have multiple workareas on a given branch - it is possible to run into conflicts due to having the same file modified in multiple workareas.

You can either always submit with overwrite mode enabled - or you can try to determine where the conflicts will be, within your script, and log (and skip) those files for post-processing.

How can I generate the vpaths to all the work areas in the Default store?

This is called "programming" - and I'd generally classify this as being at the Perl-101 level.

There are numerous ways you could do this - my personal favorite is to roll my own using standard Perl built-in's: opendir, readdir, closedir and grep.

It wouldn't surprise me if code for doing this kind of thing had been posted before - but IMO - if you cannot code this yourself you should hire someone for one day to do it for you.

Heh - I thought I remembered doing so - but didn't feel like searching for it ;-)
