I don't see anything relevant on the link provided.

Can someone suggest me some way how can I get a list of Workareas for a particular branch.

For example suppose I select the /default/main/www as the branch, so I want to have a list of all the workareas for the www sub branch.

It's not clear at all what you are looking for. Do you want a script of some sort? Can you be more specific as far as what mechanism you want to use to get this information?

I have a Jsp Page on which I have populated a dropdown of the branches and sub-brancheson the TeamSite server. Once the user select a particular branch or a sub branch, I want to populate another dropdown (combobox) with the list of workareas for the selected branch.

Can i have some script or code which I can use to populate the dropdown with the name of the workareas for the selected branch.

For designing the combobox for the available branches on the teamSite server I have used the following code

use TeamSite::Config;
use TeamSite::Usertask;

my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
my($branch_menu) = TeamSite::Usertask::make_branchpathlist("$iwhome");
print $branch_menu;

So similarly can I have code for a list of Workareas?

You could write some simple code that determines whether a WORKAREA directory exists, and if so scans the WORKAREA directory for all its subdirectories. Those are your workareas.

sunil_j-
Would iwlist work for you? Here's a code snippet of what I've used before... note that iwlist will return all editions as well, so I filtered them out...

my $list = `$iwhome/bin/iwlist -a main/$branch`;
my @Was = split /\n/, $list;
foreach $wa (@was){
if ($wa !~ /INITIAL|ed_/){
print "...$file, $wa\n";
}
}

That would work as long as your editions always started with "ed", which may not always be the case. iwlist also returns the names of any sub-branches as well, which makes it even more confusing. iwlist would be a much more effective tool if you could tell it specifically what you wanted returned (show me only the workareas, or only the editions, etc.).

good points Smitty! We don't have all those sub-complications & whatnot, so I didn't think about that. So many variables, so little time...
thanks!

iwlist /branchvpath/WORKAREA will list all the workareas on that branch.

iwlist -m /branchvpath/WORKAREA should list all the workareas on that branch for which the user has write access.

See iwlist -h for more information.
