Setting DCR name.

Bhargav Coca

I have the same old DCR saving issue. I want to convert the name given by user to the DCR to all lowercase letters and then save the DCR, here is the snippet what I have. I know that IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(outputFileName); is an asynchronous process and doesn't complete spontaneously. Is there any other way of doing it?

Here is the snippet.

[html]
function setOutputFileName (outputFileName) {
outputFileName = outputFileName.toLowerCase();
alert(outputFileName);
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(outputFileName);
}

function onSaveNameSpecifiedHandler(vPath) {
alert("OnSave");
var regExp = new RegExp(IWDatacapture.getWorkarea() + "/templatedata/" +
IWDatacapture.getFormType() + "/data/(.+)");
var outputFileName = vPath.replace(regExp, "$1");
alert(vPath);
var mySplitResult = outputFileName.split("/");

setOutputFileName(mySplitResult[1]);
return true;
} // End of function onSaveNameSpecifiedHandler(vPath) {

function init() {
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveNameSpecified",onSaveNameSpecifiedHandler);
} // End of function init() {

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);
[/html]

Thank You

Possibly use iwat.exe to be used to trigger some custom code that gets the current file and renames it. One issue would be how would you handle the "Done" button on the bottom of your form that sends the current DCR to the next page since the DCR it's looking for is now using a different name.

Or you could do the renaming in a workflow prior to the the submit to staging task (deleting the user named file). Again, you would need to alert your users of the behind the scenes naming change of their DCRs.

Another option if you're running Windows Server 2003 or 2008, then you may be able to use Windows File Server Resource Manager to force certain naming conventions.

I must mention that I have not used this myself. It may or may not work on the Y: drive. If you try it out, let us know the results.

Well this is way too Complicated. I do not need to this much. Rather I would write a call server and pass my old DCR name and New name, which i want to save it as to my ipl file. In the ipl file i will use the following

mv

all my properties are intact and i will achieve what i wanted.

This can be implemented quickly too, but i was looking to see if I can use just FormAPI functions i have to do the same.

Thank You

In all reality, you shouldn't be the one manipulating their filenames. They should be creating their names using lower cases. If you can't rely on them to do this then you should set up some kind of rule that prevents this.

Is there a reason that you want to perform the lowercase instead of having your users do it themselves?

I work for a Government Agency and elder respectable people do not like any alerts or anything which restricts them, all they need is the things to work from their perspective. So I have to do my manipulations, no other alternative.

You need neither callServer nor iwat Event handling for this... Try

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

function init() {
  IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveNameSpecified",onSaveNameSpecifiedHandler);
}
function onSaveNameSpecifiedHandler(vPath) {
   var outputFileName = vPath.replace(/.*\/data\/(.+)/, "$1");
   setOutputFileName(outputFileName);
   return false; // That's right, return false!
}
function setOutputFileName (outputFileName) {
   IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(outputFileName.toLowerCase());
   IWDatacapture.save();
}

Once upon a time we've discussed a bit more elaborated processing of asynchronous "setDCRName" in [thread=20152]this thread[/thread].

is IWDatacapture.save(); is required to put immediately after IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(desiredname);
I tried IWDCRInfo.setDCRName (myName); and then do another activity like validating DB and then do IWDatacapture.save(). I put few check with
IWDCRInfo.getDCRPath(); in OnSaveNameSpecified method where I set the name is coming correctly but in OnSaveDone it is giving the name provided in the pop up window during Save As.

Lets say I have given name as MYDCR.xml and I would like to save as MYDCR_TodayDate.xml (MyDCR_02282014.xml)
Any suggestion on that?
Any help is appreciated.

Er.. your lead-in wasn't exactly clear, but this right here is a perversion of the content authoring model. In my mind, there's no "good" reason for this requirement, because the use case is likely accomplished via the version history. That's also why the API doesn't really work in such a way that you can get a filename from the user and then modify it before the save.

If you want to enforce a naming convention but still have some input from the user, use the onSave event to pop a prompt() and then you can massage the name before calling setDCRName(). Or, better yet, base the user-provided portion on the contents of a field in your DCR.
