OD Return Code 6.0.1

tik

We use 6.0.1 OD on Solaris

I am trying to catch error code returned after deployment and we use iwodstart to run the deployment

We were trying to use something like this:

my $deploy_cmd = "$odhome/bin/iwodstart $file";
my $status = `$deploy_cmd 2>&1`;

if ($status !~ /(.*)Completed(.*)/i)
{
DEPLOYMENT FAILS , take next action
}
else
{
DEPLOYMENT SUCCESS, take next action
}

But $status does not seem to return anything

Please advise

First of all - you should be using iwodcmd start - which I will use below in what I believe to be the correct coding (the die statements could be replaced with something else):

 my $deploy_cmd = "$odhome/bin/iwodcmd start $file";
my $results = qx($deploy_cmd 2>&1);
my $status = $? >> 8;

if ($status == 1){
    die("deployment failed to start:\n$results\n");
}
elsif ($status == 2){
    die("deployment ran but failed:\n$results\n");
}
elsif ($status == 9) {
    die("deployment completed with errors:\n$results\n");
}
elsif ($status != 0){
    die("unknown exit status - probably a failure:\n$results\n");
}
else {
    # deployment succeeded
}
