Moving file from 1 workarea to another in workflow

infoForDj

Hi,

I have to move a file from one workarea to another from within a workflow. I have used update task to do this. Now, I want to remove the file from the source workarea. How do I do this since the update task does not delete the file from the source workarea?

Thanks,
Dhruv

just delete it. if you need, you'd need to submit the deletion as well.

But rememeber - you either need to do this with an externaltask script (that can be instructed to operate in any area or areas) or you need to set up tasks that reference the source area to take care of the files in the source area - as distinct from the tasks that run with the target area (more complex to develop).

Hi,

I tried finding out as to how to delete content from a workarea through an external task but could not. Can you please help me out as to what to do in order to delete the content from the workarea through an external task?

Thanks

a little hint - use iwupdate in your external task.

Hi,

I checked on iwupdate from the following link.
http://support.interwoven.com/library/manuals/teamsite/html/600/ts.600.clt.unix/03_devTools75.html

However, I couldn't find anything that will allow me to delete the content from the source workarea. I also tried deleting content using the 'rm' command from the command prompt but that also failed.

Is there any other option that allows deletion of files from the source workarea.

Thanks,
Dhruv

you *SHOULD* be able to delete the content using either rm from the command line or using 'unlink' from perl. It's either your path is not correct, or permissions or something else.

when I reffered you to iwupdate, I meant submission process after deleting a file. iwupdate works as submit as well.

Greg - are you sure about that "iwupdate works as submit as well" ? The usage information for iwupdate clearly states:

... dst_vpath specifies a path to a workarea. (dst_vpath may specify a path to a file or directory in a workarea if the area-relative portions of dst_vpath and src_vpath are the same.) --fish

well, thanks for the correction, firstly.

yes, I was talking about iwupdate in a different context, I meant that updating one workarea to another in fact is similar to the submit process. but it does not apply here.

iwsubmit should be used here instead
