Datadeploy return Code

Hi .
Iam able to deploy a DCR to Database with datadeploy when a DCR is saved. Iam invoking a callServer("/some.ipl",param) from the DCT on onSaveDone event to deploy the DCR to Database(basically, the ipl contains a call to iwdd.ipl).
I want to know whether Datadeploy returns any code with which i can know that the deployment was successful or it failed. In my ipl i dont have anything which tells the user that the callServer() was successful or it failed. I want to throw some exception if the Datadeploy failed to deploy
Thanks.

Unfortunately the return code from iwdd.ipl is not quite reliable.
What version of DD are you using ?

I am Using DataDeploy 5.6 on Sun OS 5.8. How do I get that return code? Why do you think it is unreliable?
Thanks

I didnt state clearly earlier. If you are using version of DD < 5.6 iwdd.ipl might return success although a deployment might have failed during a SQL operation. This problem has been fixed in DD5.6 tho.

an example to invoke
my $loadcmd = "$ddhome/bin/iwdd.ipl" .
" cfg=$ddhome/conf/loaddb.cfg" .
" deployment=multi" .
" myclearflag=$myclearflag" .
$logfilearg .
"";
print OUTFILE "INVOKING [$loadcmd]\n";
print STDERR "INVOKING [$loadcmd]\n";

$result=system($loadcmd);
print OUTFILE "result=[$result]\n";
if ($result != 0) {
print OUTFILE "Invocation failed\n";
} else {
print OUTFILE "Loaded database from file(s)\n";
}
