Issue with external task being run by Non OS user

Jeevz

Hi,

Is there a way for a Non OS user to trigger the external task/preview the DCR's. When I tried, I get the below error message.

We are using TS 6.7.1 on Solaris.

Thanks in Advance...

Cannot execute command external task for NonOS user "{userid}". Use URL external tasks.
Could not run /apps/interwoven/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl {path to ipl}l for task 36022; aborting (requires admin attention)

I believe the answer is "no" - and thus the message about switching to use URL Tasks.
I haven't had the opportunity to fully try this out at my current customer's site because while they are using non-OS users on Solaris 10, they also required the use of Java over Perl and the workflow design and implementation were never finished.
The only other way to do it - would be to make sure that the owner of the externaltask is always an OS user rather than a non-OS user.
