generating page from dcr

windy

In my quest to generate a html from a dcr I have the following code snippet from my formAPI

[PHP]

var server = window.location.hostname;
IWDatacapture.callServer ("http://"+server+"/iw_cgi_wrapper/iw-bin/generate_page.ipl", params, true);

[/PHP]

When I run hit save to run the sript, I get the following error in the file /logs/iwui/error
"premature end of script....."

I have run the script generate_page.ipl via the windows command line and it does generate an html page. I have also read the various posts on this forum and applied the suggested fixes to no avail.

Thanks for assistance, help etc.

My envirnment is windows 2003 server and TeamSite 6.7.2.

I have run the script [...] and it does generate an html page

Remember, your script must generate correct CGI whatever else it does.
So - does script print anything to STDOUT? Does output conform to CGI protocol?

Thanks ISCBorisB. I have added a print statement to my script and the error has now dissapeared.

However, I am running the script from the dcr and it is taking for ever( and it has not completed running and thus not created the html page. is there anything I can do to speed up this length of time?

Don't know, what is your script doing ?

Try running it from a command line and see how long it takes, if it is taking too long then you need to fix the script. If that runs fast you probably are waiting until something times out.

Thanks Nipper. it take about 4 seconds on the command line. My script is below....

[PHP]
#!D:\Interwoven\TeamSite\iw-home\iw-perl\bin\iwperl.exe

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

use TeamSite::CGI_lite;
use TeamSite::Config;
my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
my $iwmount = TeamSite::Config::iwgetmount();

use CGI;

#Turn buffering off.
$| = 1;

my $IWGEN = "$iwhome/bin/iwgen";

my $in = new CGI;
my $workarea = $in->param('workarea');
my $templatepathtemp = $in->param('templatepath');
my $recordvpathtemp = $in->param('recordvpath');
my $outputFile = $in->param('outputFile');

my $templatepath = $iwmount . $templatepathtemp;
my $recordvpath = $iwmount . $recordvpathtemp;
my $genfile = $iwmount . $workarea . $outputFile;

my $command = qq($IWGEN -t $templatepath -r $recordvpath $genfile);

exit;

Put some logging into your script to see if it's being run in your DCR. Print the variable values from your script to a file so that you can see how far it's gone and what's in them.

Unless it's a typo you seem to have wrong callServer's URL Syntax (wrapper before iw-bin, etc)
Try the following verbatim, you do not need protocol, domain and all this Jazz.

IWDatacapture.callServer ("/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/generate_page.ipl", params, true);

Also, make sure that ipl itself is located in iw-bin, that's where wrapper expects it

Thanks, it was a typo. My callServer is identical to yours. The file generate_page.ipl is located in iw-bin. I'm adding logging to the ipl file to see what's going on.

Well if this is the 2nd to last line of your script I am surprised that nothing is being regenerated:

[color=#007700]
my $command = qq($IWGEN -t $templatepath -r $recordvpath $genfile);  

[/color]

I'm probably missing something obvious to you - kindly share; thanks

Start reading your Perl books and figure out what the command qq does. More importantly what it does not do.

Thanks Nipper. Your nudge sent me in another direction which resolved my issue.

Was that other direction to use "qx" instead of "qq"?

windy

I used

[PHP]

system ("$IWGEN -t $templatepath -r $recordvpath $genfile");

[/PHP]

Netsta result after Server start.zip
