Workflow that has OpenDeploy status included

OpenDeploy 602 -> Deployments to Oracle9i tables

Hi all, I wondered if someone developed a workflow cgi task or external task that probes OpenDeploy for success or failure to return that in a cgi to the user as part of the workflow?

My customer Fortis has something implemented, but that goes from the File menu in CCPro, after starting a standalone file deployment from the CCPro interface and not from a workflow.

Any help would be appreciated. I included the script that Fortis use to provide feedback from the CC Pro Action menu.

Your requirement is to capture if there is any error in the open deploy and display the same massage or custom message to user through CGI task?

If so then you can store the message in a workflow variable and then at last pick this variable and display the information in one go using a CGI task.

Other aspect of displaying the message would be as transition comment for the task. However, be clear about the requirement.

In the CGI or External Task you may want to use OD Command return Code to catch Success/Failure
Something Like the following

my $transition_message;
my $result = qx($od_command);
my $rc = ($? >> 8);
if ($rc == 0) {
   $transition_message = "Successfully Deployed";
}
else {
   $transition_message = "Deployment Failed, Return Code = $rc";
   # Log out $result to see details
}

If you're checking the exit value - you need to use system() not qx() - as the latter will return to you the contents of STDOUT from the command which is run - which you could then parse to find the results.

In this case - I think system() is generally a better choice since OD (at least on Unix) does a good job of returning status results in its exit code (if memory serves - 0, 1, 2, 3, 9 - or something like that - it's documented though)

In Windows, both qx and backticks set proper $? variable. Right now I do not have an environment to check on UNIX although I'm sure
it works there as well
In the sample I used $result for STDOUT and $rc to retain Return code

I stand corrected - I looked at your setting of $result and glossed over the fact you were using $? below it, thinking you were still using $result.
Sorry.
