How to call iwpt_compile in externaltask

frbcraig

I have an external task in which I am attempting to loop over the list of selected files for the current task. As I loop over the files I want to call iwpt_compile to generate that correct output file. Are there any examples of how this would look in the ipl. I have the code that loops over the files, but have not been able to find an example for iwpt_compile - or is this even the correct command for this??

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You shall try the below command in your TPL:

/Interwoven/Teamsite/bin/iwpt_compile.ipl -pt %TPL Location% -iw_pt-dcr %DCR Location% -ofile %OUTPUT File Location%

You shall get the list of files attached to the workflow in the IPL :
my ($env, $jobId, $taskId, $area) = @ARGV[0..3];
my $task = TeamSite::WFtask->new($taskId);
my @files = $task->GetFiles();

Reghu.

You're mixing DOS / BATCH file syntax (first example) and Perl code (second example) - why?

...
my $results = qx($iwhome/bin/iwpt_compile.ipl -pt $pt -iw_pt-dcr $dcr -ofile $ofile 2>&1);
if ($?) {
    # an error appears to have occurred
}
...

I have the code creating what I think is the correct paths for -pt, -iw_pt-dcr and -ofile attributes -

$cmdGenPage = "iwpt_compile.ipl -pt $pt -iw_pt-dcr $dcr -ofile $ofile";
debug($cmdGenPage);
print `$cmdGenPage`;

Now how do I call iwpt_compile - this doesn't seem to work......the output file is not created.....

thanks,

You probably need the path to iwpt_compile

frbcraig

Assuming I have the correct path to iwpt_compile - will the print function cause the command to execute?

It probably will. It is a bad idea regardless. Look at Ghoti's prior post. It illustrates the best approach, covering command's STDOUT/STDERR and return code

frbcraig

Here is the string the is in the cmdGenPage string:

\progra~1\interw~1\teamsite\bin\iwpt_compile.ipl -pt templatedata\sixbits\banner ad\presentation\bannerad.tpl -iw_pt-dcr templatedata\sixbits\banner ad\data\atlanta\common\6fextra\B35CF5C1-5056-8C45-29A1524E5AF35553.dcr -ofile site\xml\atlanta\common\6fextra\B35CF5C1-5056-8C45-29A1524E5AF35553.xml

but the output is not created in site/xml.....or anywhere else that I can find.....

Thanks again for your help!!

frbcraig

My implementation of Ghoti's approach does not seem to be working.....it doesn't kick out with any errors that I can see - but the output file is never created where I'm expecting it.....

my $results = qx(D:\\progra~1\\interw~1\\teamsite\\bin\\iwpt_compile.ipl -pt $pt -iw_pt-dcr $dcr -ofile $ofile 2>&1);

the $pt, $dcr and $ofile is as from my earlier post....

Since I do not know what your PWD is you probably should include iwmount/iw_workarea and provide absolute paths for the PT, XML and ofile

In addition to Nipper's notes:

1. pt and dcr Paths seem to have a space in it that is not just the artifact of Forum Software.
If that's the case, enclose full Path version of them in double quotes

2. Add '-iw_include-location' Full Path to set a *base Workarea*

nipper

& you should really use a longer filename as well, B35CF5C1-5056-8C45-29A1524E5AF35553.dcr is way too common. :-)

Figured this out - iwpt_compile requires the full path for the attributes (ie Y:\dfault\main\project1\templatedata\article\data\dcrname). Once I put the full path for these, everything worked as it should.

Thanks for all of the help on this!

That works because you happen to be in the default store, and because IWOV happened to be nice about it - Y:/default/... is not a vpath - it is a file system path. /default/... is a vpath.
