"Would you like to regenerate now" message

Alyssa

Hi all,

I have added a call server function on the finish button in a template that generates the data record using iwgen. This was to overcome the problem where the user creates a new dcr, saves it then clicks finish without clicking generate first, as this meant that the generated page was never created.

The problem I am encountering now is that when the user opens an existing generated page, edits and saves then clicks finish, it is always asking them if they would like to regenerate. Even though they've just clicked on the finish button it has just generated the page.

Does anybody know what stops this message from appearing? I know that if a user opens the templated page, edits, clicks the generate button then clicks finish, the message doesn't appear. So what's the difference between clicking generate in the template and running a generate command via the finish button?

thanks,
A

I guess since you are using iwgen to generate the page, it is asking you to regenerate the page whenever you edit the page second time. When you are closing the DCR after editing the page, the templating engine might not recognize that the page has already been regenerated. I am not sure if there is any way to supress this alert.

May be any other users on forum will be able to throw more light on this.

I suggest reading through the FormAPI manual and searching the forums - the means of getting rid of the "do you want to regenerate" message has been documented and/or discussed before.

Ghoti is right.

You should go through the FormApi pdf. Try to focus on "onSaveNameSpecified" event and then try to use "IWDCRInfo" object which gives the status of DCR, now according to status you can call "iwgen".

Hope you will get solution.

I think I found a way around this issue, I wait for the onClose event to be triggered then call a function that just uses "IWDatacapture.close();" to close the template without asking the user if they would like to generate. Seems to be doing the trick.

Can someone point me to the document or discussion?

I am trying to find a way to hide the "Would you like to regenerate now?" message box after click "Finish". However, instead closing the window, I want it to transition to the "Select Next Action" screen as it would after the pop-up message. Does anyone know how to accomplish it?

Below is the proper fix for your problem.

Create a handler while closing the DCR
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onClose", close_routine);

Upon closing, set the value of the hidden variable "regenerateNeedsTobeDone" to false.

function close_routine()
{
top._dcWin.datacapture_buttonframe.regenerateNeedsTobeDone=false;
return true;
}

}

The term "proper" is questionable here. The above code may do exactly what is wanted - but it uses functionality that is not part of the actual API - and thus subject to change by Autonomy Interwoven without any advance warning or support given.

If you read the FormAPI manual - you'll find what at least appears to be the exact same functionality provided using that actual published API - and thus it is supported and "proper".

Besides, it is 2+ years too late

Change the regenerateNeedsTobeDone = true; value to regenerateNeedsTobeDone = false; in datacapture_buttonframe.jsp
