More on iwsend_mail

win2k server 5.5.2

I found that iwsend_mail.ipl doesn't work so hot...
Having more than 2 people in my email group bombs. The e-mail gets sent (now in the right format) but the external task does not return proper

Try something like this in a WF with 2 members in the 'Reviewers' group (External Task).
__INSERT__( iw_get_mail_cmd('iwsend_mail','', "-t " . get_group_members('SERVER', 'Reviewers')));
or this
__INSERT__( iw_get_mail_cmd('iwsend_mail','', "-t SERVER\\user1, SERVER\\user2,"));

Then try something like this in a WF with 3 members in the 'Reviewers' group (External Task).
__INSERT__( iw_get_mail_cmd('iwsend_mail','', "-t " . get_group_members('SERVER', 'Reviewers')));
or this
__INSERT__( iw_get_mail_cmd('iwsend_mail','', "-t SERVER\\user1, SERVER\\user2, SERVER\\user3"));

What I have found out that is if there is a SPACE or SPACES between the commas SERVER\\user1, SERVER\\user2, SERVER\\user3 it will bomb on my server but only if there is more than 2 members in that group.

Thanks in advance...
OH my iwsend_mail.ipl version is..
my $VERSION = "5.5.2 Build 9275 REL Interwoven 20020617";

If it works on your system and your iwsend mail is of a different version please post it as an attachment.

We had similar issues. Ended up making some aliases for reviewers and using those instead

Rather than using get_mail_cmd() - could you try doing the same thing with your own code to create the command line?

Alternatively, could you post the resultant command lines from the failed attempts?

I thought this was an IW perl sub but i had found it in the workflow that are consultants had created....

#=====================================================================
# Name: get_group_members
#
# Arguments: server - name of server the group is defined on
# group - name of the group
# Purpose: Retrieves a list of users in a Windows group on

# prepare a list of mail recipients.

#=====================================================================
use Win32API::Net qw(LocalGroupGetMembers);

sub get_group_members
{
my $server = @_[0];
my $group = @_[1];
my @users;
my $cnt;
my $memberlist;

LocalGroupGetMembers($server, $group, \@users);

foreach $membername (sort @users)
{
if ($cnt++ < $#users)
{ $memberlist .= "$server\\$membername, "; } # <----- Space between comma and quote
else
{ $memberlist .= "$server\\$membername"; }
}
return $memberlist;
}

I Changed it to

sub get_group_members
{
my $server = @_[0];
my $group = @_[1];
my @users;
my $cnt;
my $memberlist;

LocalGroupGetMembers($server, $group, \@users);

foreach $membername (sort @users)
{
if ($cnt++ < $#users)
{ $memberlist .= "$server\\$membername,"; } # <----- NO Space between comma and quote
else
{ $memberlist .= "$server\\$membername"; }
}
return $memberlist;
}

----------------------------------------------------
Seems to work fine now
