Length of paths

TS 5.5.2 SP4, Solaris 8

Hi,

I have a problem when running an external task with the length of the command string. The command I am running is:

$cmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwupdate -w /default/main/Cust/Release/EDITION/$editionName/$filePath $MRorWRPath/WORKAREA/$MRorWR";

Once all the variables are replaced this command has become too long and fails to execute. I can bypass the problem by changing to the source directory of the file but this seems to be a short term solution if my users make their filenames any longer.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? This must be a problem that other people (including Interwoven) have faced.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

I had the same problem with OD and I did changed the source directory of the path and didn-t gave second thought to it.... however if there is an alternative or you find one I am rather interested to know about it.

Cheers,

The limitation is, as far as I know, at the system level (OS/shell) not TeamSite.
The solutions are (a) cd to the source directory first, (b) only allow short branch / workarea / directory / file names, (c) wait until the OS/shell gets upgraded some time in the possible future to allow longer command lines.

If you put it into a file & exec the file, length does not matter.
I have some incredibly long DD command lines and that is the only way I can execute them to debug.
