Reassigning job ownership

wailing

Hi,

I'm currently stuck trying to reassign the job owner to the branch owner within the template_script tag. I know there's a form value 'iw_jobid' which I can use, but cannot seem to see the value at all.

Here's my code:

sub getBranchOwner
{
my $br_path = __VALUE__("iw_branch");
my $br_owner = `$iwhome/bin/iwattrib $br_path owner`;
if (!$br_owner)
{
$br_owner = __VALUE__("iw_user");
}
chomp($br_owner);
return $br_owner;
}

# Import routines from library
use TeamSite::WFworkflow qw(
SetOwner
);
my $newBranchOwner = getBranchOwner();
my $iw_jobid = __VALUE__("iw_jobid");
my $workflow = new TeamSite::WFworkflow($iw_jobid);
$workflow->SetOwner($newBranchOwner);

Hope somebody can help with this, TIA!

rgds,
Rika

There is no iw_jobid variable that you can use in your workflow template. Think about it - there is no job ID until you instantiate the job. You would have to do this from an externaltask within your job if you want to use the WFworkflow methods to set the owner. I guess I don't understand why you don't just do this in your workflow once you have determined the value of $br_owner:

<workflow name='WhateverYourWorkflowNameIs'
__INSERT__("
owner='$br_owner'
creator='$iw_user'
description='$job_desc'>");
