dcr not showing up

I open a dct (that i've just created) add content and save it as usual, it seems to save, but when I go into the folder that it should have been saved to nothing is there. I have checked the templating.cfg - everything is fine. Any help would be great.

You need to provide more context:
- What version of TeamSite / TeamSite Templating?
- What platform?
- Are you using the [default] browse-based templating or the Java based templating GUI?
- Where are you assuming the DCR should have been saved?
- What is your indication for "It seems to save"?

My guess is that this is a small misunderstanding somewhere - but it's kind of difficult to figure out where without knowing more about the situation.

I'm using 5.5, without the java gui, on NT. What I mean by "seems to have saved" - is that as when I try to save a DCR from this particular DCT there is no pop up that tells me something didn't save or indicates an unsuccesful attempt. The path it 'appears' to try and save to is the right path to the relevant data folder to store the DCR.

Does your DCT use callouts? for required fields?

If not - try switching your templating interface to the browser-based version (View > Change Templating UI) and see if you can save the DCR that way.

If you can - the problem is specific to the Java UI - and I'd recommed you contact Interwoven Support to open a case and probably a bug report.

If you still cannot save the file - the problem is probably somewhere else, and I'd recommend contacting Interwoven Support to help you work through the problem.

In either case, I'm not sure that there is much we can do in the forum (having said this, I'm now sure someone will pipe in with the resolution ;-) without getting into much more detail about your environment - and Support is better equipped to help you that way.

There is a new twist, I rewrote the DCT very simple with just one text item, and it does save when there is only one item, but if I add even one more it doesn't save.

Adam Stoller

Can you post (as an attachment) both the simple DCT that worked, and the slightly-less simple DCT that didn't?

This sounds like an error in the DCT code - though I'm surprised you would get as far as you did if that were the case - it's still a possibility that should be checked - and much more in line with what the forums can help you with...

this is fine
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE datacapture SYSTEM "datacapture5.0.dtd">

<data-capture-requirements type="content" name="portal">

<ruleset name="portal">

<item name="Department">
<database data-type="CHAR(4)" />
<text required="f" maxlength="4" />
</item>

</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>

but this isn't
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE datacapture SYSTEM "datacapture5.0.dtd">

<data-capture-requirements type="content" name="portal">

<ruleset name="portal">

<item name="Department">
<database data-type="CHAR(4)" />
<text required="f" maxlength="4" />
</item>
<item name="test">
<database data-type="CHAR(4)" />
<text required="f" maxlength="4" />
</item>

</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>

It's sorted, the dcr-type="iwov" was pointing to dcr-type="xml" , but I confess I don't see why this causes a problem. Thanks for your help. Have a nice weekend!

Adam Stoller

a dcr-type of "iwov" vs. "xml" determines how TeamSite Templating will attempt to process the DCT - because the XML format of the two are different.
