Alert

formapi

Hi

 

I am trying to set Metadata using formAPI(through form API i am calling an IPL file) when i use alert(); in form APi metadata is being set and if i remove alert(); metadata is not being set.

Below is the code::::

 

 

function Handler()
{
        var dcrName = IWDCRInfo.getDCRName();
        var dcrPath = IWDatacapture.getDCRPath(dcrName);
        var server = window.location.hostname;
        var params = new Object();
        alert("1");
        params.dcr_path = dcrPath;
        params.dcrName = dcrName;
        
        IWDatacapture.callServer("http://" + server + "/iw-bin/rbc/groupName.ipl", params, true);
        alert("2");
  }

 

 

My ipl File ::::

 

#!/app/Autonomy/Interwoven/TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/iwperl -w
use CGI::Carp;
use TeamSite::CGI_lite;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

# begin the cgitask
$|=1;

$cgi = TeamSite::CGI_lite->new();
$cgi->parse_data();
my $dcr_path = $cgi->{'form'}{'dcr_path'};
my $dcr_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'dcrName'};

my $dcr_folder = $dcr_path;
$dcr_folder =~ s/\/\/(.*?)\/(.*)/\/iwmnt\/$2/;
my $ea_dcrpath = $dcr_folder;    #Group Metadata setting
$dcr_folder =~ s/(.*)\/(.*)/$1/;
$dcr_path =~ s/\/\/(.*?)\/(.*)/\/$2/;
$dcr_path =~ s/(.*)\/templatedata\/(.*)/templatedata\/$2/;

# Group Metadata setting
my $x="'";
my $group="group";
my $groupNameCmd = "/app/Autonomy/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwattrib " . $x . $ea_dcrpath . $x . " " .  $group;
my $groupName = `$groupNameCmd`;
my $Groupfirst = substr($groupName, 0,3);
if($Groupfirst eq 'APP'){
my $setGroup = "/app/Autonomy/Interwoven/TeamSite/bin/iwextattr -s TeamSite/Metadata/SharedGroup=" .$x.$groupName.$x.  " " .$x.$ea_dcrpath.$x;
system($setGroup);
}

# Group Metadata setting

1. This thread belongs in the TeamSite forum, not the OpenDeploy forum - I've already asked for it to be moved (so please don't recreate it there)
2. I haven't gone thoroughly through your code - but I suggest you add some debugging statements in your Perl code (at least one very near the beginning) to see whether the script is being executed both with and without the alert in your FormAPI code.
1. If it is being executed in both cases - the problem is probably in the Perl code
2. If it isn't benig executed without the alert, something very strange is going on - let us know
3. I believe the script will be running as "iwui" rather than the user doing the editing of the DCR.  If you want to fix that, you should use the iwcgi_wrapper.cgi and you need to move the script directly into the IWHOME/httpd/iw-bin directory - not in a subdirectory.
