workflow job triggered by publish

Does anyone know where I can find a complete list of valid commands for use in a <command_list> section of available_templates.cfg? In particular, I'd like to know if there is command value which causes a workflow to be triggered on a publish.

If you look in the Workflow Developer's Guide, there's a pretty complete list of valid command values for available_templates.cfg - publish not being one of them. You could use an event trigger to kick off a workflow whenever a publish event occurs (iwatpub). There's pretty good documentation on event triggers in your Command Line Tools manual.

Ok, I looked in the Developer's Guide again and found the list under the heading "Workflow Template Type Constraints". Also remember now why I'm not sure this is complete: there's a note below the list about adding custom types. But there's no explanation of how a custom type would be associated an event in TeamSite. This makes me wonder if there might be an extended set of commands not available in Workflow Builder by default, but still valid for use in available_templates.cfg.

So, has anybody worked with custom types before?

I believe someone a long time ago asked about adding a custom type and someone from Interwoven said that this was not actually available to do. They should fix the documentation.

Oh ok. Well, no big surprises there. Thanks for your help, Dave!

I'd recommend using the 'iwat' command over the 'iwatpub' command. The latter requires more setup on your part to create the daemon processes / services - whereas the former is more nicely built-in to TeamSite and is more flexible in its application.
