Pushing data into a DCR

brooke

Has anyone attempted to "push" data into a DCR via a Perl script?

I'm looking to timestamp DCRs with a system date and time as they are put into a workflow. Obviously we can take data out of a DCR, but can we push data in?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Brooke,

If you're not picky about where/how the data is saved, you might want to consider using an external attribute to associate a publish date with a DCR. Look at the iwextatt command for more details.

Thanks for the tip! I'm actually first looking into utilizing code from a past post (Today's Date in a DCR) to just insert it in the beginning. But I might look into how I could do it utilizing the iwextatt command as well -- thanks!

In regard to the previously mentioned post, I've set up the perl script in the proper directory and inserted the code into my DCT, but get this error when I try to create a new DCR:

A MessageException was thrown: com.interwoven.clientutils100.TMessageException: Error building the requirements for java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@7de0d5: CreateProcess: perl \iw-home/local/bin/format_date.ipl error=2

Any thoughts anyone? It seemed to work right off for everyone else. Thanks so much!

Sounds like when you call the perl script it isn't returning correctly.

Try two things:

1) Actually run the command on your command line:

 perl iw-home/local/bin/format_date.ipl

and see what that gets you.

2) If that works, try using the iwpt_compile.ipl command on the command line and give it a -pt and -ofile arguments and at the end append this string: "-ocode ****.ipl ; ****.ipl" and that'll show you more about what's wrong.

<<Showing my Perl-novice quite a bit...>>

When I run the cmd line perl iw-home/local/bin/format_date.ipl, I get the error:
'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

Sorry for the sad questions -- we've been doing template dev here for awhile now, but are now testing the waters with Perl -- hitting some bumps!

Thanks so much,

You have to make sure perl is:

1. installed on your computer
2. in your path environment variable

Or: you need to first cd to the directory containing the perl executable.
