iwat.exe and DestroyFSE

mcdoma2000

I am trying to set up a trigger on DestroyFSE. I have found a couple of references in the Knowledge Base, particularly #1458 "How to generate events on file create/rename/modify." It says to add log_createfse=on, log_destroyfse=on, or log_renamefse=on, in the iw.cfg file. It also notes that these entries were undocumented as of December 1999.

The thing that worries me is that its date is December 28, 1999. We are using TeamSite 6.5. I have tried using iwat.exe to set up a script to be run for DestroyFSE, but it doesn't appear to be called. I have NOT followed KB1458 because of its date. I can get results for creating an edition from this:

iwat PublishStagingArea "e:/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl e:/iw-home/local/bin/pubtrigger.ipl"

But for this:
iwat DestroyFSE "e:/iw-home/iw-perl/bin/iwperl e:/iw-home/local/bin/destroy_event_handler.ipl"

doesn't get called.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

I believe you still need those entries in the iw.cfg file and you still need to run iwreset after having made those changes - however, given that 6.5 makes much more use of the event subsystem it would probably be worthwhile for you to open a case with Support. If those entries are still what is needed they should open a Doc Bug regarding it - if some other configuration change is needed they should open up a Doc Bug to make sure it gets documented in the next SP. If the system doesn't provide for that functionality anymore then you probably have a product Bug that needs to be escalated up to engineering.
