How to change command of a external task

meikel

Hi,
i send email with iwsendmail.ipl.
It works fine with the command (in wft)
__INSERT__(get_mail_cmd("$iwhome", "-t $mail_receiver -f $mail_sender"));

Now, I have to change the receiver of that mail during the workflow.
There is a function $task->GetCommand().
Can I change the command line like "$task->SetCommand("BLAH")"???

regards
meikel

If you're using iwsend_mail.ipl - don't use get_mail_cmd() - it was written to deal with a more simplistic version of the various mail scripts.

Instead - write the basic command into the code like:

<template_script><![CDATA[
  use TeamSite::Config;
  my $iwhome = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome();
  my $iwperl = "$iwhome/iw-perl/bin/iwperl";
  my $mailcmd = "$iwperl $iwhome/bin/iwsend_mail.ipl";
  ...
]]></template_script>
...
  <externaltask ...>
      ...
      <command v="__INSERT__($mailcmd);"/>
      <variables>
          <variable key="mail_to" value="__INSERT__($mail_receiver);"/>
          <variable key="mail_from" value="__INSERT__($mail_sender);"/>
          ...
      </variables>
  </externaltask>
  ...

Then, in an externaltask you can do:

$task->SetVariable("mail_to", "$new_recipient");

The documentation for iwsend_mail.ipl is, I believe, in the TeamSite Workflow Developer's Guide. You could also look at using the iw_solutions_mail.ipl script (documentation within the same manual, I believe).
