if you search for iwjobc your might find results like this thread

Team

Yes I am looking at this but somehow not getting the right point to invoke it.

Can you tell how can we compile the wft file into a spec file and pass that spec file as string?

nipper

Did you even look at the link I provided ? There are multiple examples and the last one is extremely detailed.

Team

Yes I a looking at it and creating.

Here is what I have:

The first task of the workflow I am trying to iniate is /wft/default/default_submit.wft:

owner="__TAG__('iw_user');"
creator="__TAG__('iw_user');"
description="__INSERT__($submit_cmt);">

name="Check for conflicts"
start="t"
immediate="t">

__INSERT__(submit_files_xml());

In IPL I have:
#!C:\iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use TeamSite::WFtask;
use TeamSite::Config;
use TeamSite::Uniscape::uniscape qw(UTF8ToNative_2);

use TeamSite::WFsystem;
use TeamSite::WFtemplate;
use TeamSite::CGI_lite; # needed by WFtemplate
use TeamSite::WFworkflow;

my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();

print TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
open(TXT,">>$iwhome/tmp/iwat.log");
my $param1=$ARGV[0];
my $param2=$ARGV[1];
my $param3=$ARGV[2];
my $param4=$ARGV[3];
my $param5=$ARGV[4];
my $param6=$ARGV[5];

print TXT "Parameters\n";
print TXT "Param1". $param1."\n";
print TXT "Param2". $param2."\n";
print TXT "Param3". $param3."\n";
print TXT "Param4". $param4."\n";
print TXT "Param5". $param5."\n";
print TXT "Param6". $param6."\n";

close(TXT);

my $job = undef;

my $wf_template = "$iwhome/local/config/wft/default/default_submit.wft";
my $wf_system = TeamSite::WFsystem->new();
my $wf = $wf_system->CreateWorkflow($wf_template);

if (-f $wf_template) {
#Get WF Template
my $wft = TeamSite::WFtemplate->new(template => $wf_template,);
print "inside loop";

# Add Required Tags
#$wft->{tag}{iw_user}{value} = "whomever";

# Associate Files for Attachment
#$wft->{cgi_elem}{iw_file} = scalar(@files);
#$wft->{tag}{iw_file}{value} = \@files;

# Get Workflow Specs
#$wft->get_tags();
#my $job_specs = $wft->get_workflow();

#Create WF with $job_specs, invoke if valid;
}

`iwjobc -s ts07 $iwhome/local/config/wft/default/default_submit.wft`

=========================================

Error I am getting:
inside loop
junk after document element at line 274
ERROR:00001: Failure in operation

Pls advice what I am mising and what I need to do. I am trying to just invoke a default workflow given by Interwoven examples

nipper

because iwjobc wants a Job Spec file and not a WFT file. You need to convert the WFT to a Job Spec and feed that to iwjobc

iwwft_compile will convert the WFT

and then go get some training

Team

That is where I am stucked up.

I read about it but don't know how to use it?

I added this but got an error "System cannot find teh file specified"

`iwwft_compile.ipl -o jobspec.xml < wftinput.xml`;

`iwwft_compile.ipl -i < wftinput.xml`;

nipper

Did you READ the perldoc or did you just assume I type the command and it will work.

Do you have any clue what is supposed to be in wftinput.xml ?

Team

i want to actually understand what is purpose of wfinput.xml and jobspec.xml?

Team

Also, by default where is the job spec generated.

WHat is this:

default/author_submit.wftparam>
jbrown
msmith

bizdocs/project.doc
bizdocs/design_spec.doc

Do I need to edit and put my own custom values? If yes, where is this file?

nipper

Those are parameters that the workflow needs to run.

putting your own custom entries in there would be a good idea.

Team

Where is this file located so that I can add custom entries? OR badically how can i add custom entries.

nipper

you create the file and use the location in the execution of iwwft_compile

Team

Thanks a lot for your help.
It worked.

If possible, could you please share a snippet of your code? Thanks.
