Hi Guys,

I wrote a custom import (validation) perl-cgi script to upload files to teamsite 7.2 server. However, for uploaded file modified by is "SYSTEM".

I know I can change owner using iwaccess cmd but that doesn't help. In file properties it still shows modified by as system.

Is there a way to show "user id" for uploaded file instead of "system"? Thanks for your advice.

What process executes your CGI? Is it a custom Menu Item, DCT callout, Workflow CGI Task, something else?

It's a custom menu item, File -> Import.

It's a custom menu item, File -> Import.

Have you tried running your CGI through iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi (in the URI)?

No I haven't, I will research but any heads up/advice on how to do it will be appreciated.

Hi Ghoti, when I implemented in ui_custom.xml as url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/custom_import.cgi" I got the following error afterwards below:

Error tryin to open a pipe to: I:\Interwoven\TeamSite\httpd\iw-bin\custom_import.cgi(1)

Place your CGI Perl code directly in the "/iw-home/httpd/iw-bin" folder.
Rename it so that the Extension is 'ipl'. Use this syntax:

<link ... url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/custom_import.ipl ...">

Thanks Boris I get error below after your suggestion:

import code below inside ui_custom.xml for file --> import menu

You might be out of luck... Your code works without impersonation wrapper so it does
not seem to be your CGI problem. Code does not work through the wrapper though.

You may want to contact Support, see what they can suggest. Other than that - not sure
what else you can try...
