OD return value

System

Hi,

I am using the below code. To find out whether deployment success or not.Some times OD service is down still it is returning return code '0' and always saying it is successful.


my $deploy_command="$od_home\\bin\\iwodstart.bat file_deploy -k \"deploy_def=generic-def\" -k \"source_area_name=$areapath\" -k \"repfarm=$repFarm\" -k \"dest_area_name=$destination_dir\" -k \"filelist=$filelist\"";

$results = `$deploy_command`;

$rc = $?;

if ($rc eq 0)
{
$deploystatus = "Deployment Finished.";
}
else
{

$deploystatus = "Deployment NotFinished-ERRORCODE-$rc";
}

Could any one pls.help me to solve this issue.Does this command return's always '0'??.

I don't think so bcz i read in manuel it will return 0,1,2.
0-succeeded
1-starting of the deployment failed
2-deployment ran and returned a failed status. right

So what if OD service is down??

Thanx in advance

If you are running OD in a windows environment, I believe the return code is always 0. Don't remember where this is documented but if I remember or come accross it I'll post it.

Whether the above statement is true or not the below solution will work.

To determine if the deployment failed or not you should parse the $results variable and look for a line that contains
Status: Complete - or - Status: Failed
