cgi file for ipl

I am working on an enhancement project which invloves Java/J2ee, Oracle PL_SQL, and TeamSite technologies. From the Java/J2EE web application a cgi file say abc.cgi is being called which displays a button to start the workflow (must be calling iwwft_instantiator.cgi). We need to create similar other cgi files but this abc.cgi is in binary format and is processing parameters received from jsp page. Although we have corresponding abc.ipl file which we can see and edit having same logic present in abc.cgi, but how to generate .cgi from .ipl if we create .ipl files referring to abc.ipl? I need some exe which can convert a .ipl to .cgi. Also I noticed one thing that size of abc.cgi is different from abc.ipl. I would be grateful if any kind of help or suggestions are provided. We are in a very critical phase of the project hence need to find resolution as soon as possible.

Thanks

I think, better hire a developer/consultant as he can understand and develop as per the requirments more accurately.

If this compiled .ipl file is supposed to be run on the TeamSite server - does it really need to be compiled?

If you want to compile it though - take a look at perlcc

I'm not on a TS box right now, so I don't know if this comes with iwperl, but on my local system I can take a perl script like foo.ipl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Hello World!\n";
exit 0;

and compile it into an executable named bar:

% perlcc foo.ipl -o bar
pccnUNWH.c: In function 'perl_init_aaaa':
pccnUNWH.c:15065: warning: this decimal constant is unsigned only in ISO C90

(I don't think you can do anything about that warning, not sure if it represents a "real" problem)
The result is:

% ls -l foo.ipl bar
-rwxr-xr-x   1 ghoti  wheel  660700 Jan 25 06:47 bar
-rwxr-xr-x   1 ghoti  wheel      74 Jan 25 06:46 foo.ipl
% ./bar
Hello World!

What is the location of your CGI/IPL Pair? If it is iwhome/httpd/iw-bin then your cgi is a universal *cgi wrapper*.

You do not compile it, just copy/rename an existing one. Check other cgi/ipl pairs, chances are you'll find out that
CGIs have the same size and timestamp. For details look here

CGI is just a wrapper for the IPL file.

U can do as follows to create a mytest.cgi(iw-home\teamsite\httpd\iw-bin directory).

1. Create a file called mytest.ipl(This is your perl file which has all the code)
2. Copy an existing cgi(even supplied by Interwoven) to mytest.cgi
[Please note that mytest.cgi is exact copy of other cgi but U renamed it..thats all).

3. Now U can invoke mytest.cgi and it would in turn invoke mytest.ipl.

Why are you replying to my post? I did not ask the question.

Piyush,

Here are the detailed steps to sort it out:-

1. Create your Perl script on windows box as abc.ipl
2. Now create a copy of the Interwoven provided show_env.cgi (recommended and available at

\Interwoven\TeamSite\httpd\iw-bin) and name it abc.cgi
3. Now when ever you will make a call to abc.cgi from menu, it will indirectly make a call to abc.ipl instead and the Perl script will execute with the perl interpreter.

Hope it helps,
Rahul Khare.
