Problem with dummy workflow

We are using a dummy workflow just to show a message to users when they click on Action -> New Job

Workflow Code..

Code of dummycode.ipl
[html]
……………………………….

use CGI; # load CGI routines
#use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser set_message);

$q = new CGI; # create new CGI object

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

#$form_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_form_name'};
$form_name = "window.opener.top.formframe.document.dcreditForm";

print'';

print <
<script language="Javascript">

function onClickClose()
{
window.close();
return true;
}

</script>
JS

print $q->start_html('Dummy Workflow');

print < The Publish & Deploy workflow is no longer used. Any content you submit will now be deployed live immediately.Please close this window

EndOfHTML1

print '';
print $q->end_html;

[/html]
Now the problem is whenever which user clicks on Action -> New Job… a new pending job appears in workflow section. The job is not ending.

Do you see any issue in the code?

Hi,

I do not see any callback happening in the CGI. If you are assuming that return true will do a callback and end task will get invoked then that's not correct.

Thanks

Ok, then how do we use callback here?

Read the workflow manual, the workflow tutorial supplement (available on devnet) and/or look at the sample_cgitask.ipl script (or something similar, which at least used to be included with the product)

I tried the code given in sample_cgitask.ipl but it's not solving the purpose.. I'm attaching the new code which I tried..

use CGI; # load CGI routines
use TeamSite::WFtask;

open(LOG,">c:/iw-home/.../log/new_job_invalid.log");

sub TASK_PARAM () { "task_id" }

my($taskId) = $cgi->{form}{&TASK_PARAM};

my $task = TeamSite::WFtask->new($taskId);

print LOG "Task : $task\n";

$q = new CGI; # create new CGI object

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

#$form_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_form_name'};
$form_name = "window.opener.top.formframe.document.dcreditForm";

print'';

print <

function onClickClose()

window.close();
return true;
}

print $q->start_html('New Job Invalid');

print <

The Publish & Deploy workflow is no longer used within this workarea. Any content you submit will now be deployed live immediately.

Please close this window

EndOfHTML1
$task->CallBack(0, "Done");

print '';
print $q->end_html;

[/html]

I also tried with below code but no gain...


my ($success, $immediate) = $task->CallBack($transition, $comment);
write_acknowledgement($success, $immediate);

You appear to be missing a lot of fundamentals here.

There might be more problems with the code you posted - but the above is sufficient to indicate you either don't know what you're doing and should hire someone who does - or you should spend more time reading the available information (manuals, forum postings, perldocs, etc.) and working it out for yourself before posting something like the above.

Your problem apparently is incorrect (or even absent) CGI Task transition to the <endtask>.

That said, you do not have to instantiate any Workflow at all to do what you want.
As I've indicated [post=113235]here[/post], all you have to do is "warn and close" right from the WF Instantiation screen.

[html]my $javascript = qq(
<script type="text/javascript">
function bail_out() {
window.moveBy(2000,2000);
alert("Sorry dude. There are no Workflows configured for this Branch");
self.close();
}
</script>
);

CGI_info(
html_body_options => "style='display:none' onLoad='bail_out();'",
pre_tagtable_html => $javascript,
);

TAG_info(
feign => [
html => "",
],
);
]]>

Thanks.. it solves our purpose Smiley Happy
