How to get status of iwsubmit -x ----Urgent..Pls help

We are using an external script in workflow to generating html files in Teamsite Staging area using iwsubmit -x command.

I wants to get the status(Fail/succes) of iwsubmit while it’s run to set callback to workflow.

I tried below solution:

$cmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwsubmit -x $htmlPath";

$htmlPath->This is a path of html file in Teamsite workarea.

$results = qx($cmd 2>&1);

if ($?)
{
$callback=1;
$comment="Fail";
}
else{
$callback=0;
$comment="Success";
}
but I didn’t get any fail and success in result its always go in fail loop.

Pls suggest me how to proceed.

Thanks
Anu

Historically, the IWOV CLTs are not always consistent in their return values.

From a command line - run the iwsubmit command you want with a modified file and check the return status; Then run it again (file no longer modified) and check the return status again.

If you can determine a difference (success / failure) by the return status from the command line, you should be able to do the same from the script - otherwise you have to parse the results ($results) to determine if there was an error or not -- including explicit filtering out of errors that simply indicate that the file was unchanged and did not require to be submitted.

Hi Goti,

Thanks for suggestion..

But I already tried this but for both fail or suceess I got only this after running the command.

Usage: iwsubmit [-h] [-v] [-s] [-w|-x] [-u] [-r] [-c global_comment] [-i info_comment] {vpath file_comment}+
Usage: iwsubmit [-h] [-v] [-s] [-w|-x] [-u] [-r] [-c global_comment] [-i info_comment] -f file_name
-h displays this usage information.
-v displays this command's version number.
-s skip conflicts and locked files
-w overwrite all files. Files in STAGING but not in
src_area will be deleted
-x overwrite conflicts
-u unlock locked files
-r report on submitted files
-c global_comment comment to attach to submit event
-i info_comment second comment to attach to submit event
-f file_name file from which to read the vpath and file_comment
(use newline to separate vpath and file_comment)
(if file_name is -, stdin will be read)
vpath path to a file, directory, or workarea.
file_comment comment to attach to the file

So not able to find out from where to get status.

Thanks

Hi Anu,

You need to give the comments for iwsubmit after the vpath like this

$iwhome/bin/iwsubmit -x $htmlPath "comments" and then try to run it.

A point to ponder. When a program returns the how-to-invoke message, it typically means that you are not setting the parameters correctly. As was pointed out in the previous message, you need a comment.

Hi,

Now I am able to get the status of Command.

But if I am not updating html file and run this command then its give me error mesg every time.

Command Run:

/opt/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwsubmit -x /default/main/Test/COMMON/WORKAREA/general_wa/Test_COMMON/html/general/en/content/without_sec_25.html comment

Error mesg:
/default/main/MYCUMMINS/EP_COMMON/WORKAREA/general_wa/MYCUMMINS_EP_COMMON/html/general/en/content/without_sec_25.html: ERROR:02401: File or directory is the same as the other version

I want the submission of file from workarea to staging area according to file wise not as a directorywise.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Anu

As I stated previously - you need to parse the error messages that come on STDERR and explicitly ignore any that have "ERROR:02401:" in them. Something like:

...
my $cmd = qq($iwhome/bin/iwsubmit $file "$comment");
my $results = qx($cmd 2>&1);
my $status = $?;
if ($status && $results !~ /ERROR:02401:/){
    # An actual error occurred - handle it
}
...
