iwcp error

herald10

Hi,
From a perl script I am trying to copy a DCR within the same workarea. It reports the following error.
ERROR:02439: Operation not permitted

The code is as follows:

sub createBackup
{
my ($dcr,$currdir) = (shift,shift);
my $cpcmd = "$iwhome/bin/iwcp $dcr $currdir/backup";
my $result= `$cpcmd`;
if($result){die "ERROR in createBackup module\n";}
}

Appreciate any help
Thanks

Perhaps this will help, from one of our support cases...

The reason for the error you are seeing is because iwcp expects full paths or relative paths. Starting TS 5.5, Teamsite can have multiple stores and hence it is necessary for iwcp to have the full path, starting from /iwmnt.

So, basically the following fails:

tsmdlabsol4% iwcp /default/main/Atlanta/WORKAREA/Atlantawa/FILE2 /default/main/Atlanta/WORKAREA/Atlantawa/FILE1
ERROR:02439: Operation not permitted

while this one works:

tsmdlabsol4% iwcp /iwmnt/default/main/Atlanta/WORKAREA/Atlantawa/FILE2 /iwmnt/default/main/Atlanta/WORKAREA/Atlantawa/FILE1
tsmdlabsol4%
tsmdlabsol4% ls
FILE1 testhomepage.html testpage3
FILE2 testpage2

So if you are using any scripts that use vpaths starting with /default... please change them to /iwmnt/default...

There's a longer, drawn-out, scenario that leads into this (which I can provide if necessary), but if I recall correctly, the first time you do the iwcp command it's fine, but if you try to overwrite, or re-create a file with iwcp you get this error unless you use the /iwmnt path (in TS5 anyway)
