task list not containing files

catorarn

ENV: win2k/Solaris8/TS552sp3

In the TS workarea view you select 5 html files and click the submit button. The associated dcrs are submitted via the default submit workflow.

The question is the following

Why is it that when you select the files and New Job>Default Submit, you will get all files (also unchanged) in the Task File list (when clicking edit task), whereras the same Default Submit workflow does not include the unchanged files in that list when you select the files and click the Submit button?

Due to a custom script to sync dcrs with generated files, I want to keep the unchanged files in the task's file list on clicking the Submit button.

Any way if it is possible, and if so, how to do this?

thanks

If I understand your question correctly - TeamSite's submit process pre-filters [out] files that are unmodified so that you don't attempt to submit non-changed files to staging (which you generally do not want to do) - the assumption being that if you are clicking on submit, all (or most all) of the editing has been done and you are looking to submit the modified files. Also, I believe this may be done for performance reasons - since if you don't select *any* files, TeamSite tries to make sure that of the N files within the entire workarea, only the M modified files are attached to the job and passed around from task to task.

Running the same workflow from the new_job command does *not* provide this pre-filtering, as it is assumed that the files may be attached to the workflow in order to assign them to someone to work on and make the modifications.

If you feel you can make a decent use-case for why you don't want submit to filter out the un-modified files - please contact Interwoven Support and file a feature request.
