Filelist in iwodcmd start command for OD

Aditya218

Hi

I am initiating OD through workflow. The requirement is something like this:
A DCR is passed in the workflow and after the Reviewer approves it, an xml file is generated and this xml file needs to be moved into another location using OD which is another task in my workflow that calls an ipl file which initiates OD using iwodcmd start command.
I would like to know what the file=$filelist in the PERL file in the iwodcmd command(iwodcmd start mydeploymentname -k area= $areapath -k file=$filelist) should contain. Should it contain the path to any textfile which contains the list of files that i need to deploy? Kindly let me know as I am stuck on this issue.

Thanks

$filelist contains the path of the filelist. The actual content of this filelist will have list of files to deploy

Generally, the file list file contains a list of src-area-relative paths to files to be deployed.

If the full path to a file is /a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i_want_to_be_deployed.htm, and the source area and path for the deployment is "/a/b/c/d" and "." (respectively) - then the file list file should contain "e/f/g/h/i_want_to_be_deployed.htm"

Comprende?

Thanks for your replies. But I have already configured this file path and area while creating the deployment file(deployment.xml file). Do I need to mention the area and path again in my ipl file also? If that is the case, Can i give the file list path directly in my ipl file?

Sorry - I misread your initial post.

I would like to know what the file=$filelist in the PERL file in the iwodcmd command(iwodcmd start mydeploymentname -k area= $areapath -k file=$filelist) should contain.

The

-k file=$filelist

in the Perl script means that you are passing the full path to the filelist, as a parameter, to OpenDeploy so that it can be used to replace

$file^

within the deployment configuration file - i.e. so that the name and path of the file list is not hard-coded in the configuration file.

Generally speaking - you don't want to hard-code paths in your deployment configuration file, it is far better to pass that information in as parameters so that the same deployment configuration file can be used multiple times - either in succession (as in a workflow) or for different purposes (for different branches or other situations in which the basis of the deployment remains the same but the paths are different.

Thank you for the information. I have made the necessary changes in my Perl Script and the deployment is working. But I am facing an issue. I only want the file(DCR) that is routed in my workflow to be deployed. But in my case, the entire package is getting deployed and not the file alone.I have given the area something like this.../default/main/new/STAGING as i need to deploy my files from the staging area. Now, the remaining path till the location of my DCR is getting printed in the filelist and the entire folder structure is getting deployed as per the path in the filelist. I want only that particular DCR to be deployed. Can anyone tell me how I can control what is being printed in the filelist and what necessary additional configurations i need to make.

Thanks

You need to control the creation of the file list being used for the file list deployment - and this is usually done as part of a workflow externaltask script prior to that script invoking OpenDeploy. If you're not up to such tasks, perhaps you need to hire someone who is and/or take training to improve your skill sets.
