Setting the Name of the Generated HTML

I want to name the HTML file that is generated from the dcr with the same name as the actual DCR itself. Anyone have any hints?

Thank you,
Rick

If you are using workflow based approach there is a way to capture DCR name in the script and use it as a name for output file.

Hope this helps!

I think you can do this with <iw_ostream>.

See the docs at:

Hope this helps.

Actually, I do this with the <iw_ostream>, just get the name of the DCR to be generated (there's a function to do that, see the manual) and append any other strings that you might need....
Attention, this kind of generation modifies the standard teamsite working way..what I mean is that the user will still have to type a filename [I think there's no way around this unless you create your own .cgi, and then again...] in our case we ask them to type their username, and a file like username.xml is created on the root dir... at the same time, a file called DCRname.xml is created on the path we want it to be created... but this file has NO extended attributes, so you have to manually add them (and change permissions as desired). then these files would look as if they were normally generated by teamsite. Hop this helps.

Rococi,

Here's a snippet of code from one of our external tasks that generates a new .asp page based on the name of the DCR. The big regex line below is the key to naming the generated page. Once I get the name of the page to be generated (from the dcr name) I then call a subroutine to generate that page. If you need the specifics of the subroutine, let me know. I hope this helps Smiley Happy


# Iterate through each file attached to the workflow
foreach my $file_path (@filename)
{
 # If file is a DCR, then call the generate subfunctions.  
 if($file_path =~ /templatedata\\.*\\data\\/i)
 {
  my $generated_page;

  # Get path of the DCR
  my $dcr_path  = "$area_path\\$file_path";


  # Use the name of the DCR as the generated page name and add a .asp extension
  ($generated_page = $file_path) =~ s/^templatedata\\.*\\data\\([a-z0-9_\s]+)(\.?)(.*)$/$iw_mount$area_path\\Builders\\$1\.asp/i;

  &generate_page($dcr_path,$generated_page,$builder_page_template);
 }
}
