IPL is not getting invoked

SE123

Hi,

I am facing one problem. I am using inline command in which I pass one parameter to database and picks the value from it and populates the values in DCR . Let's say if I change the parameter the IPL file picks the appropriate values from database and populates the values in case of NEW Form Entry(i.e. new DCR). However, if I edit the existing DCR which was generated using old parameter, the IPL should picks the new values from DB and populate to DCR. But I think IPL is not getting invoked.

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

How about debugging the IPL ?

is it good perl ? run:

iwperl -c inline_script.ipl

if it compiles correctly then open a debug file and start dumping debug statements.

You can also just run it from the command line and see what happens

From your general description (works for new DCRs does not work for editing existing DCRs) - this is usually a FormAPI issue where the code is written to work for new DCRs but some aspect of it does not get triggered (or does not work correctly) for existing DCRs. I'd suggest looking through the FormAPI code carefully to make sure it does what you think it does in all cases.

I have entered some debug statements and IPL is retrieveing correct values from database.But, The values are not getting reflected to DCR. DCR is still populating the old values which was generated at the time of creation of that DCR.

I guess u can check whether a DCR is new or an existing one which is opened in edit mode....and modify your code to work and populate when it is opened in edited mode .

Thanks Rajiv,
Is it possible for you to provide some snippet for better understanding.

var dcrpath = IWDatacapture.getDCRPath();
if (dcrpath){
//edit mode
}
else
{
//new dcr
}

}

{

}

Thanks JAg,
But my problem is when I open the DCR in edit mode and say I make my values blank, but still when I reopen it it doesn't picked the values from IPL but it picked the value from saved DCR itself i.e. it is now populating blank. For your understanding below is my code:

item name="id" pathid="id" selected="t"

text
inline command="/iw-home/ts-home/iw-perl/bin/perl /iw-home/ts-home/httpd/iw-bin/id.ipl"

/item

item name="name" pathid="name" selected="t"
text
inline command="/iw-home/ts-home/iw-perl/bin/perl /iw-home/ts-home/httpd/iw-bin/name.ipl"
text
item

remove your inline code from DCT,call the same ipl as callserver in JS init method end.
Then reset the value in js from your ipl callback result. Add the earlier post code snippet as well to make a call at edit mode only.

i hope it will resolve your problem.

Could you tell me how can I assign the value to a variable in JS like say I want to assign the value returned from IPL to the variable IWDatacapture.getItem("/apar/id").getValue() or a normal variable of js

Try one or more of the following:

Go through Form Api document or Existing examples(available in Teamsite examples folder) you will get clear idea on this.
