I am running teamsite on Windows Server anyone have any scripts I can use with Windows Scheduler to have TeamSite create nightly editions of a branch?

Hi,
write a batch file with iwpublish commands in it...
Look into CLT documentation for iwpublish options.

You can create a windows task (cronjob) which starts the batch file.

I use the combination of these two functions to find all the stores on the system (Find_Stores) and then publish all the branches on each store that have submissions to publish(Publish_All).
This will not create editions if there are not any changes.
This will name the editions using the name of the branch followed by the date in the format YYYYMMDD.


sub Publish_All(){
 for $mount (@IWStores){
  for (`$IWList $mount`){push(@branch_list,$mount . "\\" . $_)}
 }
 for my $LocalBranch (@branch_list){
  chomp($LocalBranch);
  my @LocalBranches = `$IWList $LocalBranch`;
  for (@LocalBranches){
   chomp($_);
   unless ( ($_ =~ /EDITION/) || ($_ =~ /STAGING/) || ($_ =~ /WORKAREA/) ){
    push(@branch_list,$LocalBranch . "\\" . $_);
    my $EditionName = $_ . "." . $full_year . "" . $mon . "" . $mday;
    system($IWPublish,"-f",$LocalBranch . "\\" . $_,"STAGING",$EditionName,"AutoPublish before daily backups");
   }
  }
 }
}
sub Find_Stores{
 my @StoreAdmResp = `$iwbin/iwstoreadm -l`;
 for (@StoreAdmResp){
@ThisStore = split(/\s+/);
 push(@IWStores,$iw_mount . "\\" . $ThisStore[0]);
 }
}
my ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = localtime $time;
$mon += 1;
if ($mday <= 9)
{
$mday = "0" . $mday;
}
if ($mon <= 9)
{
$mon = "0" . $mon;
}
$full_year = $year + 1900;

Your posted code references a number of variables that aren't, in fact, defined within the posted code - however it does provide the basis upon which one could easily fill in the desired information.

I'd suggest you look at Date::Format for a nicer / simpler way to get the date information you are (supposedly) using, and rather than invoking iwlist multiple times (somewhere I think there's a FR for it to be able to recurse, but as yet I don't believe that ability exists) - write a simple recursion function or use something like TeamSite::Dirwalk to quickly recurse down the branches and sub-branches without actually recursing through them.

Then it's a matter of preference as to whether you want to create the editions while recursing through the branches, or get a list of all branches first and then perform all the edition creation afterwards - I don't think there's any advantage or disadvantage to either approach.
