iwexttr problems with 5.5.2 sp2

We have recently installed 5.5.2 service pack 2 and i have had some problems with iwexttr.

From within my presentation template, i can call it to set extended attributes fine. From within my datacapture template, if i call a perl script to set some attributes it doesnt work.

If i add write permissions for SYSTEM to the dcr im trying to set then it works. Has anyone had any experience with this tool and problems after installing sp 2

Can you please show the command line used to invoke iwextattr?

We're also running TST 5.5.2 with SP2 on Windows 2000.

We have a Perl subroutine that calls the iwgen or iwregen command as appropriate.

When this Perl subroutine is called from a presentation template, the Templating extended attributes are (automatically) set on the file generated.

However, when this Perl subroutine is called from a workflow externaltask, the Templating extended attributes are not set at all on the file generated.

I tried running the externaltask as "$user," "$workareaowner" and SYSTEM. No progress.

Interestingly, when a file is generated from a workflow (via that subroutine), the TS File Properties shows that the file was created by SYSTEM.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Are you configured for LDAP? I think there is a recent KB article about this issue.

try this in the subroutine
`$iwhome/bin/iwsubmit "$doc_path" Comment:"$comment"`;

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow.

John, thanks for mentioning that KB article. Giving SYSTEM access to the Workarea and then, recurssively, to the sub-folder in question works.
