Workflow trigger on delete DCR

Amit_LnT

Hi,
Is there any way in CCPRO, where we can catch the Delete Files action and invoke a workflow. I need this WF to clear the contents on target servers. I am sure, this is pretty common requirement. But, I found in the PDF that invoking WF on delete is only possible in CCSTD with tt_deletedcr. If anybody has face the same and found some workaround.
I am trying to give user the same feeling of deleting the file and delete the file from target in the background. I do not want user to explicitly invoke the WF for this
Is it possible ?

Appreciate your help.

Env: TS 6.5 SP2, windows server 2003.

Thanks,
Amit

You might be able to use an iwat trigger script - if you can find the event you want to use to trigger it with - or you could remove the OOTB menu item for Delete and replace it with your own custom implementation (I've done this before - where we needed to make sure that if you deleted any DCR or generated file that it deleted both the DCR and the generated file, and submitted the deletions, and deployed the deletions)

If you want to break the steps into a workflow you could, and use something like iwwft_compile.ipl to run it - but if you're going to write a script - and you're not planning for a review process (probably a mistake, IMO) then you could do the entire thing in the script and not bother with the workflow.
