FormAPI enable , Use to capture client side event

netsnaveen

I am trying to use FormAPIs and havent been successful yet.
I have set enable_formapi=true in iw.cfg and have restarted the iwserver.

My goal is to call an inline perl script based on client side event onItemChange once I read the value selected from list box.

And have tried to use all the ways mentioned in the documents.

My DCR goes as follows:

<data-capture-requirements type="content" name="Phonenumbers">
<ruleset name="Phone numbers">

<item name="Country">
<label>Country</label>
<description>Choose the country</description>
<select required="t">
<inline command="/server/teamsite/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /server/teamsite/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/phonesctry.pl" />
</select>
<database data-type="VARCHAR(100)" />
</item>

<script language='javascript'>
<![CDATA[
function init() {
IWDatacapture.displayMessage("Retrieving locations in ");
IWDatacapture.redraw();
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler('/Country', 'onItemChange', printVal);
}
function printVal(item)
{
alert("Retrieving locations in");
IWDatacapture.displayMessage("Retrieving locations in");
IWDatacapture.redraw();
}
init();

]]>
</script>

</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>

If I get this working, I will then need to call a perl script and pass the value that is selected from the list box and do the required processing. As U see I am trying to capture a user event as in client side Scripting.

Hope there are developers who have done this successfully already. I would appreciate if you can share the ways of doing it.
Environment i am working on : Solaris OS, TS 5.5.2
SP 4 installed.

Have you taken a look at the FormAPI templating examples Interwoven ships?

You can find them at:

iw-home/examples/Templating/templatedata/userscript


These should provide you a kickstart. If not, let us know.
