how to skip tt_data intantiation form

Faizi

Hi Experts,

I like to skip an intermediate screen while invoking 'tt_data' command and workflow instantiation screen.

I am attaching the screen image that will give better understanding.
User wants to directly go to the workflow instantiation screen.

Please let me know if you guys implemented it.

Thanks in advance.

I did something similar once through FormAPI. Basically, I've created customized "Finish" handler that showed
user dialog I needed and ultimately called "newjob" CC Command. If that's an acceptable approach I can illustrate
it with the little sample, etc

Please illustrate your approach, so that i can go ahead. It will be really appreciable.

One more thing i want ask regarding iwmodedct command on unix for executing a workflow. how can i use it?

Usage: iwmodeldct ConfigXmlFilePath OutputDCTFilePath

Generates the instantiation screen DCT for a given workflow and config file.
-h Print this message
-v Print version
ConfigXmlFilePath Workflow Model Config xml file path
OutputDCTFilePath Output file path where the DCT will be saved, if no file name is specified, the DCT will be displayed on screen.

ConfigXmlFilePath = ? (is it default_config.xml?)
OutputDCTFilePath =?

I have searched in docs but did not found any thing helpful. Please suggest better solution.

Thanks,

Hmm - I thought I posted something on this ... anyway - I believe the documentation is in error (surprised?) as iwmodeldct is for creating custom instantiation configuration files for WFMs - not (as near as I can tell) for instantiating WFMs as jobs.

However, I don't have a Unix system handy - so hopefully you can verify: Is there an iwmodelc on your Unix system? If so - that's what you presumably need to use (and the documentation probably meant to differentiate Windows from Unix with respect to the fact that the Windows CLT has ".bat" at the end of it)

I've never used iwmodelc (on any platform) to instantiate a WFM programmatically, so I can't really provide much in the way of usage information and the information provided (both at the command line and in the docs) seems to be severely lacking (again - surprised?) - most specifically about how does one supply information to populate instantiation form fields.

If you manage to figure it out - please post the details.

Yes... absolutely correct!!
I was really confused, i tried iwmodeldct on unix box but it was confusing. Finally i checked imodelc and it is executed then i realize it is a big bug in documentation. It is also surprising me that no body reported this on DevNet (Except Ghoti).

iwmodelc [-options] modelname vpath [outputFolder]

where options include:
-h Print this message
-v Print version
-i Instantiate the model
-d Debug mode, saves the expanded model and jobspec into
if present or current folder

modelName: Workflow Model name, with out file extension
vpath: Teamsite vpath, This is where the workflow will be
instantiated from
[outputFolder]: Output folder to save the expanded model and the job spec. Should be used only with "-d" option.

But while executing same command it gives error:
Error: file not found: /usr1/app/interwoven/TeamSite/servletd/conf/ssl_cert/private/key.pem

Let me figure out this then i shall update you.

Please illustrate your approach...

See if you can leverage the following FormAPI sample for what you need. Note that as posted the sample uses CC 'newjob' Command, AFAIK that's WFT.
I never tried it for WFM, you may need to modify URL for that perhaps with little hacking - or just use WFT for this Scenario
[php]function init() {
customFinish();
}
function customFinish() {
try{
var finish = parent.document.getElementById('iw.base.wizard.finish.button');
finish.href='javascript&colon;parent.getScriptFrame().customFinishHandler();';
}
catch(e){
alert('ERROR - Can not find "Finish" button');
}
}
function customFinishHandler() {
var command = '/iw-cc/newjob?';

// --- Un-comment any of the lines below if you want particular attribute ---
//command += 'vpath=VPath_to_Attach&'; // File(s) to Attach, Optional
//command += 'iw_template_name=WF_Screen_Title&'; // WF Win Title, Optional
//command += 'done_page=DoneURL&'; // URL to go after Job instantiation, Optional

command += 'iw_template_file=TemplateFile'; // Template to use
var wfwininst = window.open(command, '',
'width=500,height=350,status=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,left=250,top=225');
}[/php]

Thanks Andy,

I have implemented this for WFM by hacking "/iw-cc/command/iw.ccpro.submit" form.
By default it is working for WFT only but for WFM you need to pass some more parameters.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Andy...

I'm not Andy - but you are welcome

How can i manage to invoke onSave/onSaveValid etc. events on whenever a DCR is open for edit. Whether DCR is updated or not.

The default functionality is whenever DCR open for edit if you do not make any changes then clicking on Finish button it wont go to onSave and other events. It checks isModified() status of DCR if it returns false then it closed the DCR window.

There is a method in ForAPI docs.
IWDatacapture.setIsModified ()
It saves a DCR even if the form has not been modified.

Please suggest me if any one used this method.

Thanks,

Faizi

It is a bug in FormAPI document. IWDatacapture.setIsModified () is not working. It works with Boolean parameter. So when i passed with true/false, it is working.
IWDatacapture.setIsModified (true) will set DCR status as modified. So if we want to save a DCR or run through all the save events, whether DCR is not modified then this method will work for solution.

Are you saying that as soon as JS executes IWDatacapture.setIsModified (true), the DCR gets marked modified?
if so, does it work onformload?
what TS version?

Yes, you can call this method on init() of form and DCR status marked as modified.
As per my understanding this will work with TS 6 & above versions.

Faizi can you share what parameters you have tweaked for this? I cant seem to get hold of this one!

Hi Bhaskar,
After a long time i logged in to DEVNET.

Hope you got the solution. Our implementation was based FormAPI's HtmlUtil object.
Through this object, create Form and add required input fields with name and value.
There is a flag named as 'workflowType.flag' and it's value should be 'true' to invoke WFM type workflow.

Hope you got this point.
