Returning Deployment Status to a Java file

Hi All,

I m using WFM and using a java file to call the Deployment Script, I need to retrieve the Deployment Status and use this information in my java file (The same file from where the script was called). The value of the next task will depend on the deployment status. Can someone let me know how can we retrieve the status?
Thanks in advance.

How exactly do you "call the Deployment Script"?

Both ProcessBuilder.start and Runtime.exec methods return Process(java.lang.Process). Wait till it terminates
and call Procees.exitValue().

If you are using OD web service client (usually coded in Java) to run the deployment, it'll return the DeploymentStatus object with status code / message.

My Problem is that i am doing a scheduled deployment.I want the deployment to get scheduled but the workflow should proceed and end. And when the deployment runs on the specified date i want to trigger an dnr which sends an email with deployment status is failure. I cannot let my workflow wait till the deployment happens.So Process(P.WaitFor) for cannot be used. Is there any way out???

call the Deployment [...] I need to retrieve the Deployment Status...
I cannot let my workflow wait till the deployment happens...Is there any way out?

So, your question basically is "How can I get a Deployment Status before Deployment happens?"
If it is - you can try to code a Time machine. If it isn't - you'd have to spend more efforts
carefully explaining your use case if you want any meaningful help.

It *sounds* like you are planning some asynchronous interactions between scheduled Task(s) and
randomly executed workflows. It is not clear which process initiates a Deployment and what they
have to do to each other in the first place

are you using custom deploy task or the OOTB?

you don't have to wait for the deployment to finish to end the workflow, you can transition to the end in different ways. once the deployment runs, dnr will take care of notifying the user whether deployments fails or finishes successfully.

You can use DNR to do this. Alternatively, you can have a "utility" run on at a "regular interval" to see which deployments have completed and do whatever "post-handling" you need to be done. DNR would be simpler.

I agree with vpatel. DNR approach is nice. Allows OD to callback to workflow and also allows scheduled deployment to be cancelled if needed (if you add that support to your workflow).
