Callserver not working

Shilpax

Hi,

I am trying to populate a dropdown item using callserver. I have two different drop down lists calling two different ipl file using callserver, one of them works perfectly fine but the other one does not. :-(
both the callserver calls are called on different events. Not getting the exact cause of this issue.
The ipl works file for the perl code but the HTML code inserted does not seem to be working even though the values are hardcoded....

Here is the code -
//This function works fine and populates the required drp down.
function Language_Populate(item)
{
var selectedregion = item.getOptions()[item.getValue()].value;
var params=new Object();
if(selectedregion != "0") {
params.ItemName = "/Help/MetaDataDetails/language";
params.RegionCode = selectedregion;
IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/PowerSuite5/GetLanguages_CR.ipl",params, true);
}
else {
var newOptions = new Array();
newOptions[0] = new Option("Select Language", "0" , true, true);
var subItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Help/MetaDataDetails/language");
subItem.setOptions(newOptions);
}
}


//This function calls the ipl but not able to populate the drp dwn

function DCR_Populate(item)
{
var selectedlanguage = item.getOptions()[item.getValue()].value;
var folderpath = "/default/main/PowerSuite5/common/WORKAREA/common_wa/templatedata/PS5Common/Help/data/Fridley/"+selectedlanguage+"/";
var params=new Object();
if(selectedlanguage != "0") {
alert("call language selection ...");
params.ItemName = "/Help/Help/listofdcr";
params.foldername = folderpath;
IWDatacapture.callServer("/iw-bin/PowerSuite5/HelpGetDCRList.ipl",params, true);

}
else {
var newOptions = new Array();
newOptions[0] = new Option("Select folder", "0");
var subItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Help/HelpMain/listofdcr");
subItem.setOptions(newOptions);
}
}

IPL code -

#!/opt/webapps/interwoven/TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/iwperl

use TeamSite::Config;
use TeamSite::CGI_lite;

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


$|=1;

print "---------------$iwmount\n";

my $cgi = TeamSite::CGI_lite->new();
$cgi->parse_data();

my $FormObject = $cgi->{'form'}{'FormObject'};

my $logfile = "/opt/webapps/interwoven/TeamSite/tmp/PowerSuite5/dbconnect_CR.log";
open(LOG,">$logfile");
print LOG "---------------$iwmount\n";

my $itemName = $cgi->{'form'}{'ItemName'};
my $foldername = $cgi->{'form'}{'foldername'};

How do you call your language/dcr populate functions? Do you resynchronize Client/Server threads between two calls?

Note that callServer works by sending asynchronous http request from the single Data Capture Form hidden frame.
Subsequent callServer requests may override the current one. So, if you execute two calls in a row, the second one
(second called, not second finished!) probably overrides the first.
