Files not getting deleted from STAGING after I submit the deleted file from the WA

System

We are using custom workflow and open deploy to deploy the files. The workflow as such has no problems but on delete of a file from the workarea and consecutively submitting the file into STAGING nothing happens.

We have doDeletes option in the OD config file set to yes

The default Submit workflow which comes out of the box is being able to delete the file.

Please find attached the wft file and the od config file

Are you sure the deleted files are being included in the generated file list?
Since you didn't post the code for

$iwhome/local/config/wft/Palm/WWW/filelist_dev_deploy.ipl

it's kind of difficult for anyone to tell.

The WFT you posted looks significantly over-engineered - but that's neither here nor there with regard to the issue you're asking about.

My apologies,

This workflow file has been made by someone else which we are using. Please find attached the filelist_dev_deploy.ipl.

Be it as it may, you'd have to debug these modules. I doubt that someone here will go through hundreds
of lines of your Client code for free.

Note also that what you've posted has almost nothing to do to the declared problem. Modules you've attached
configure and execute some Deployment - none of which is related to the WF failure to submit deletions to Staging.

The only relevant thing I was able to get from all these is the fact that (unlike Default Submit) you do not
use standard Submit Task within your flow. Instead you run an External Task with some custom "iwunlockAndSubmitFiles.ipl"
script. Go through it, log out liberally, see what it does and how it does it, etc... You problem is somewhere in
this module

Go tell your boss that you need to bring someone in who can debug this workflow. Normally I would suggest getting the person who wrote it, but looking at the code, I would think that a bad idae.

Thank you all for your comments....tried getting that person but it was a vain so tried debugging myself where i got lost...so if anyone has any positive thoughts please share

As noted, you have to debug custom Script "iwunlockAndSubmitFiles.ipl", it is that simple. It is a custom code that you did not post.
We have no way of knowing what it does or does not do

Well the script you posted does not seem to populate a filelist for the filelist deployment, so that's the first thing I'd look at in terms of trying to fix the code.

...
my @iw_files    = $task->GetFiles();
# nowhere else in this script do I see a reference to either iw_files or GetFiles
...
my $webFilelist = $logdir . "/web_dev_filelist-" . $jobId . ".txt";
my $appFilelist = $logdir . "/app_dev_filelist-" . $jobId . ".txt";
...
my $deployArgs; # command line values passed to the deployment template
   $deployArgs .= " $deployName" ;
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"webFarmName=" . $env . "_web_farm\"" ;
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"appFarmName=" . $env . "_app_farm\"" ;
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"environment=$env\"";
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"areaPath=$basepath\"" ;
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"webFilelist=$webFilelist\"" ;
   $deployArgs .= " -k \"appFilelist=$appFilelist\"" ;
   #$deployArgs .= " -sim" ; #uncomment if you want to run a simulated deployment

# add deployment arguments do the deployment command
$deploy_cmd .= $deployArgs;
$deploy_cmd .= " 2>&1"; # Add system commands to help corral errors
# While you define $webFilelist and $appFilelist in the code, nowhere do I see anything that populates those files - again, something doesn't jive here
...

That's about the extent of what I'm willing to look at. You have a lot of debugging ahead of you - personally, I'd just rewrite the entire thing from scratch - at least then I'd know what the code was supposed to do ;-)

attaching iwunlockAndSubmit.ipl and createfilelist, createfilelist-dev.ipl

Really appreciate your response and time

OK, this is quite involved. I have worked with the person who wrote this (and she knows what she is doing), so there is a lot more to this code.

The code you posted does a whole lot more than just submitting a file or two. You really need to get some help.

Whatever else this code does - it deliberately bypasses deleted Files (eg, does not Submit Deletions). Look at the fragment:

if (-f $filePath)
{
...
my $submit_cmd_result = `$submitCmd`;
...
That's done on the WA, for the deleted File -f operator evaluates to false, ergo - no submit.

Note that you have way too many moving parts here for the *casual* fix proposal (should removed files be
included in Submission/Deployment Lists and how, should you remove them from the Deployment Target as well,
etc...) You or someone else will have to work out required WF changes
