vpath of DCR

sun9

I am trying to get the vpath of my dcrs through my perl script that creates these dcrs from a data file, right now I am using $iwmnt/complete path to the dcrs/ is there a better way to get the path to the dcrs from within the perl script instead of hardcoding it in the script?
Thanks.

Hi,

If you need the path to appended with /iwmnt , you will have to it append it manually.

Another way would be to get the WORKAREA path to be fetched into a constant and append the dcr/file path to it.

Hope this suits your requirement.

Without knowing the context in which this script is called, the fields of information that are accessible from the data file, and seeing the code of the script itself, it is difficult to respond to such a query.

Thanks for ur response Pawan. How can I get the workarea path in the perl script?
I tried


use TeamSite::Config;
use TeamSite::CGI_lite;
$cgi = new TeamSite::CGI_lite;
$cgi->parse_data();
$vpath = $cgi->{form}{vpath};

But when I try to print $vpath I do not get any value, when I try to look for CGI_lite.pm on my server I cannot find it could that be the reason why I do not get any value for $vpath?

That module is there. If it weren't, your script wouldn't compile at all. Why are you expecting this variable to be passed in, though?

Is this script running on the source side or target side?
If the target side, is the target side a TeamSite server or something else?

Can you explain a bit more the procedural steps involved here?
You have a data file (where? how is it created/maintained?) that contains information (what information? what format?) which is being extracted (by what process? the script that's the primary topic of this thread?) to create DCRs (presumably on a TeamSite server).

And somehow this is all tied to a deployment.

Is the data file being deployed to the TeamSite server from some other server? (reverse deployment?) - and you're trying to use a DNR script to parse the contents of the deployed data file to generate DCRs?? and somehow this script that is generating the DCRs doesn't know the path to the DCRs???

I'm confused.

Have you looked at this tech note:

(helps if you need the vpath from a tpl)

The script is running on the source side.
The data is a csv file that is received from a 3rd Party. The file is uploaded into TeamSite where the values need to be extracted using a Custom Perl Script.
This Perl script will be executed by a DNR by the client in OD. The reason we are trying to use OD is so that the any user can run the script without having to login to UNIX and kick it off at the CMD. Once the script runs, the data is extracted and made into DCR's. Each DCR will be used to allow the client to enter additional data which will be used in the generated XML file. Then using another OD script. The generated XML file will be deployed to the production TeamSite server to drive Flash files.
We are trying to avoid hard coding paths and have been trying to use VPATH to automatically get the required paths-
1) Path to the csv file
2) Type=Content/Type information using VPATH to be used in the iwextattr which is also run from the perl script.

Thanks.

I'm still a bit confused.
Does the CSV file contain information about the DCR name and it's location?
If not - from where do you expect to get that information?
Are you performing a deployment with OD or just using it to kick off the DNR script?
If you are performing a deployment, what are you deploying?

Maybe it's just me, but there seem to be big gaps in the requirements and/or design here. Perhaps someone else can help.

1) Instead of using the OD - DNR you can execute the Perl Script from a Cron Job.
2) U say that the script reads the file and converts the data into the form of a DCR-- my question similar to ghoti's is where and how do you specify the DCR name and path.
3) I agree with Ghoti that the requirment here has some Gaps. According to me the path where you upload the csv file must be fixed,(unless u have a requirment to upload CSV files at different places) In this case u do not need to Build up the path, u can keep this as fixed.
4) For the other path, the requirment needs to be more precise and clear. For example, in which step you are generating the XML which will be deployed onto the production server.
5) At one time, are there more than one csv file/ or more then one DCR are being created -- consequently more then one XML file are being deployed.

Please put the things more clearly.

Why not create a workflow there an external task will do the csv file parsing and creation of DCR and then attach those dcr for user entry through a CGI task. At the end Deploy those files once everything is complete.
