DCR delete trigger in Teamsite

Hi,

In one scenario, i want to Delete Master DCR but before deleting that master DCR, i want to delete all respective child browse in that master.

For this scenario, i m not able to get any trigger on file deletion of DCR.

I have checked file FSE events for delete. but not getting triggered.
Please guide me here. how can i handle this scenario?

You could remove the OOTB delete functionality and create your own Delete function that would handle your various deletion cases. IMO, that's probably the best route.

And what will happen when somebody deletes a DCR using File System?

You let your users use windows explorer to delete files? man that's gotta be scary.

Relax, it's Ok. I code for various Audiences: Content Contributors, Business Users, System Administrators, Developers, etc...

Admins and some Developers may have SFS Access. Keep in mind that certain Deletions may be executed by Workflows,
Customized Components, CGIs, Scheduled Scripts etc, both existing and perhaps future ones. I can easily see a Use Case
where single module automatically maintains DCRs referential integrity

it's okay i'm relaxed (and i code for various users too) Smiley Wink

Well, the OP didn't say "how" the dcr is to be deleted and generally when dealing with TS the normal way I've seen files deleted are with workflow and the OOTB deletion. So, based on that info IMO the best route would be to do a custom deletion and replace the OOTB version. I thought about mentioning workflow but that should be handled through the custom deletion function anyway.

Anything deleting files outside of TS GUI was either created by a Developer or Admin ,who should know the environment pretty well and should have coded their process properly to handle these deletes. Now if you're manually performing the deletes, well good luck to you because that's a poor way to go about it and opens you up to human error and no amount of coding is going to be able to help you there.

Ah, let's see... Instead of the single unified mechanism you would recommend the following (with three "should's")

Mechanism #1: "do a custom deletion and replace the OOTB" AND
Mechanism #2: "workflow [...] should be handled through the custom deletion function" AND
Mechanism #3: "Developer or Admin [...] should know the environment [...] should have coded their process properly" AND
Mechanism #4: "no amount of coding is going to be able to help you there"

That is certainly a valid way of doing things. Using Triggers is another, equally valid. Whichever one you like

I am not aware of any specific "File Deletion", much less "DCR Deletion" Events. You may look for the combination of other
Events to catch that one (like locking etc), the problem is in filtering out "False Positives".

Alternatively, if you can wait till Deletion is Submitted to Staging you may catch a "Submit" Event. Then you'll parse Submit
Event Object to get a List of modified Files. From there you can determine New/Updated/Deleted Files and act accordingly.

I agree triggers are a valid way of doing things, unfortunately interwoven hasn't provided a trigger for deletion of files, and the submit trigger only works if you've got files previously submitted to the staging area. which may or may not be big deal depending on the requirements.

the submit trigger only works if you've got files previously submitted to the staging area.

Yes Jamik, thats true... therefore i decided to do add one drop down in File menu below Delete option i.e Delete Master DCR.

On that Delete Master DCR click, i have called one CGI that process requested path and display all child's to be deleted in popup.

Thank you Jamik and ISCBorisB for your suggestion.

For adding custom menu i have updated ui_custom.xml from this path /iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/etc/conf/customer/
<iwov-ui>
<heading id="iw.ccpro.filesys.heading">
<iwov-insert-after id="iw.group.submit">
<link id="btgsportal.filesys_heading.refresh"
label="Refresh"
description="Allows you to refresh the main frame"
url="javascript&colon;void(top.fs_navigate_to_vpath(top.fs_get_current_vpath()));"
icon="/base/images/refreshIcon.gif"
/>
<action-list id="iw.ccpro.filesys.menubar">
<menu id="iw.ccpro.file.menu">
<link id="cu.report_menu_item.link"
label="Delete Master DCR"
description="It will Delete Master DCR from Teamsite"
url="/iw-bin/report.cgi"
target="_blank">
</link>
</menu>
</action-list>
</iwov-insert-after>
</heading>
</iwov-ui>

and run toolkit, but "Delete master" DCR option is not appered in File menu.
is there any other configuration require for that?

Adam Stoller

From your post it looks like you have the menubar addition within an iwov-insert-after clause which is within a heading clause:[html]

...

[/html]Try moving it outside that clause and re-run make_toolkit.ipl:[html]

...

[/html]

If you're looking for OOTB menu item id references you either need to search through the reference files (iwhome/local/config/lib/content_center/reference/...) and/or right-click and get properties of the items in your browser.
