Duplicate jobs

parsan99

Hi All

We have a custom menu item which calls /iw-bin/iwwft_instantiator.cgi to instantiate workflows. From what I noticed, at times this creates duplicate workflows at the exact same instance(for the same user) with the same workflow files being attached. I have a snippet of the iwevents.log below. Any clues on what might be causing this?. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am not sure how I got this idea but I thought Teamsite allows only one workflow on a file at a point of time?.

bash-2.03$ cat iwevents.log | grep "test_article"
[Mon Mar 8 13:35:52 2004] user1 editor TaskAddFile NewArticle 0x6e200 Edit-Article 0x6e201 templatedata/Articles/Article/test_article
[Mon Mar 8 13:35:52 2004] user1 editor TaskAddFile NewArticle 0x6e207 Edit-Article 0x6e208 templatedata/Articles/Article/test_article

Thanks

I would speculate that the user is "double-clicking" the button on the form. This would call iwwft_instantiator.cgi twice, and thus create 2 workflows. There are no built-in restrictions in TeamSite about how many jobs a file can be assigned to. Since this is a custom-menu item based thing, I would suggest that you use a little bit of javascript to disable the button when its clicked once.
