Workflow and Deployment

Could someone show me how to do a deployment from a workflow? I am running 5.5.1 Opendeploy. I have setup a workflow that select file(s) from a workarea, submit to staging. I have problem deploying to production through using a filelist deployment. Could someone help?

Thanks,
Tim

What version of TeamSite are you using ? If you have 5.5.2, look at <iw-home>/local/config/wft/solutions/ directory. There are a bunch of workflow examples there. One of them does the file-list deployemnt as an external task.

I am running Teamsite 5.52. I have look at those deployment. I tried to run the author_submit_with_deploy.wft workflow but I got several errors indicating that the workflow was invalid and could not find the owner. I log in as an Editor. When logged in as Author, I can't create a new job. What is the correct deployment command line syntax if for running iwodstart in a .ipl file?

There's no difference in syntax if you run iwodstart on the command line or within an ipl. If you can get your deployment to run on the command line, you should be able to get it to run inside a perl script.

It's basically just:
iwodstart DEP_NAME -inst INST -k "name=value"

Where 'DEP_NAME' is the name of your deployment (without the trailing ".xml") and INST is some unique identifier for your deployment. If you have any variables defined in your deployment configuration, you need to fill them in at run time with the -k flag.

Check out the OD manual for more examples.

Also, I don't think Authors can initiaite workflow jobs.
