Modified by "System" problem

kaleemS

Hi

We are running some post-script (using iwextattr to set the extended attribute) on Save/Update the DCR's but the teamsite shows the DCR has updated by "System" instead of logged-in user.

Is there any why to set the modified by OR any alternate way ?

Where are you putting the external script ? Is it in the "iw-home\httpd\iw-bin" ? If yes, then use "iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi", in the path name.

IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/setMetadata.ipl");

iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi will impersonate the user and set him as modified by for that file.

Hi vaibhav,

Thank you for reply,

Yes, we putting our external script in the folder "iw-home\httpd\iw-bin".
What do you mean by use "iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi", in the path name?

Here is the sample external code.

use TeamSite::CGI_lite;
use TeamSite::Config;
use TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRparser;
use TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode;
#$|=1;
my $cgi = TeamSite::CGI_lite->new();
$cgi->parse_data();
my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
$iwhome =~ s/\\/\//g;
my $incontextasset = $cgi->{form}{incontextasset};
my $dcr = "Y:".$incontextasset;
my $xml = "";
open(DCR,"$dcr");
while(){
$xml = $xml."$_";
}
close(DCR);
my $rootnode = TeamSite: Smiley Very Happy

CRnode->new($xml);
my $ProductNode = $rootnode->get_node('ProductName');
my $ProductName = $ProductNode->value();
#my $ProductName = "Testing";
system "iwextattr -s TeamSite/Metadata/ProductName=\"$ProductName\" \"$incontextasset\" ";
# Get the all the values for current time
($Second, $Minute, $Hour, $Day, $Month, $Year, $WeekDay, $DayOfYear, $IsDST) = localtime(time);
my $Month = $Month + 1;
if($Month < 10) {
$Month = "0" . $Month; # add a leading zero to one-digit months
}
if($Day < 10) {
$Day = "0" . $Day; # add a leading zero to one-digit days
}
if($Hour < 10) {
$Hour = "0" . $Hour; # add a leading zero to one-digit days
}
if($Minute < 10) {
$Minute = "0" . $Minute; # add a leading zero to one-digit days
}
if($Second < 10) {
$Second = "0" . $Second; # add a leading zero to one-digit days
}
$Year = $Year + 1900;
my $id = `iwextattr -g TeamSite/Metadata/ID \"$incontextasset\"` ;
my $productid = `iwextattr -g TeamSite/Metadata/ProductID \"$incontextasset\"` ;
if($id eq ""){
system "iwextattr -s TeamSite/Metadata/ID=\"$Year$Month$Day$Hour$Minute$Second\" \"$incontextasset\" ";
}
$id = `iwextattr -g TeamSite/Metadata/ID \"$incontextasset\"` ;
if($productid eq ""){
system "iwextattr -s TeamSite/Metadata/ProductID=\"$id\" \"$incontextasset\" ";
}
return;
exit 0;

using system clt we are executing iwextattr cmd.
Where should I need to add .cgi to fix the problem.
Thank you in advance

Try rereading the previous response - vaibhav2288 was referring to how you call the external script, not how you wrote the external script.

IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/setMetadata.ipl");

iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi will impersonate the user and set him as modified by for that file.

Note, however:

MSelvan

Try with the following.Might you will get a solution

"IW_home/bin/iwlock.exe".DCR_PATH."locked ". currently_logged_user-name
"IW_home/bin/iwchgrp.exe ".group." "+DCR_PATH
"IW_home/bin/iwextattrib.exe -s Owner=".currently_logged_user." ".DCR_PATH

vaibhav2288

@MSelvan -He does not want to set the extended attribute. He want the modified by column as the username of the user who is modifying the file.

"IW_home/bin/iwextattrib.exe -s Owner=".currently_logged_user." ".DCR_PATH

@kaleemS -
You can send the formAPI code from where you have called the above perl script. So that people here can help you out.

Thanks.

Here is the Datacapture.cfg code

<script language="JavaScript" location="webserver" src="/iw-mount/default/main/Development/Admin/WORKAREA/shared/DCT/Pall/Common.js"/>
<script language="JavaScript" location="webserver" src="/iw-mount/default/main/Development/Admin/WORKAREA/shared/DCT/Product/SaveProductAttributes.js"/>

and The javascript SaveProductAttributes.js file is

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone", setProductAttributes);
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveNameSpecified", enforceFileNameRules);

function setProductAttributes(){

var incontextasset = IWDatacapture.getDCRPath();
var incontextDCR=incontextasset.substring(incontextasset.indexOf("/default"),incontextasset.length);
params = new Object();
params.incontextasset = incontextDCR;
server=window.location.hostname;
IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/Pall/set_productattributes.ipl",params);
return true;

}

here I am calling to set_productattributes.ipl which is executing post script work.

@MSelvan:
I tried to save owner of the file before start of the post script code using
my $fileOwner = `iwextattr -g Owner \"$incontextasset\"`;

and reset it back at the end of code. using
system "iwextattr -s Owner=\"$fileOwner\" \"$incontextasset\" ";
but it didn't work for me.

}

here I am calling to set_productattributes.ipl which is doing post script task to add new extended attributes. however the system automatically modifying the "Modified By" column and setting it to the "System" (which is actually without owner of the file). I want to stop system to modify "Modified BY" Column OR reset back the current user.

I also tried to save the owner of the file in to the variable using the code
my $fileOwner = `iwextattr -g Owner Y:.\"$incontextasset\"`;
before the first line postscript
and tried to save back to original ownerusing
system "iwextattr -s Owner=\"$fileOwner\" \"$incontextasset\" ";
but it didn't work for me

Place your CGI code directly under "iw-home/httpd/iw-bin". Impersonation Wrapper will not find it under "Pall" subfolder.
When done, modify the call:

// IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/Pall/set_productattributes.ipl",params); Commented out. Instead:
IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/set_productattributes.ipl", params);

Beware! As Ghoti already noted, the user of this stuff *may* need local Windows logging priviliges, directly or through
ADS for example.

That should say login locally privileges.

The problem has been resolved.

Now it is working fine

Is it working fine for ALL users or just for users who have logon locally privileges (e.g.: those users who are part of the Local Administrator's group)? If you haven't tested this with a user who cannot actually login to the server - I suggest you do so.

I am using CreateNewDcr.ipl file for setting Extended Attributes. In saveDone() method i have written command like

IWDatacapture.callServer("http://" + server + "/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/CreateNewDcr.ipl",params);

It modifies name from iwui to user_name, but it does not call .ipl file, hence EA are not getting set.

Even i tried by separating both cgi and ipl call like this-->

IWDatacapture.callServer("http://" + server + "/iw-bin/geam/CreateNewDcr.ipl",params);
IWDatacapture.callServer("http://" + server + "/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/CreateNewDcr.ipl",params);

In this case, either of the callServer is called. Not both.

Kindly help me on this issue.

Have you actually read the thread that you are using to ask your questions?

If you haven't - do so. If you have - do it again. Pay attention to where you
should place your code so that iw_cgi_wrapper can find it.
