Unable to execute Od command through WFM

Hi ,

I am trying to execute od clt through java class in wfm but when I execute same code from backend i.e

> java classname

its getting executed and returning proc.exitValue() as 0 (success).

But When I execute same code via WFM urltask it returns result 1 (failure).Please the code below :

_________________________________________________________________________________

public class odTask implements CSURLExternalTask
{

   public void execute(CSClient client, CSExternalTask task, Hashtable arg2)
           throws CSException
       {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       String odClt = "/opt/Interwoven/OpenDeployNG/bin/iwodstart odtest";
       Process proc;
       try
       {
           proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(odClt);
           proc.waitFor();
           System.out.println(proc.exitValue()+"===This through odTask wfm ===");
       }
       catch (Exception e)
       {
           // TODO Auto-generated catch block
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

   }

}

Do not use iwodstart - if you are going to use a CLT use iwodcmd start
Why use the CLT? There is already a Deploy task that uses a class which initiates deployments via the OpenDeploy web interface. If you want to go this route, search the forums regarding deploytask and (if memory serves correctly) urlexternaldeploytask class.

And the reason it works on a cmd prompt but not through Java is probably because you're missing required environment variables.. If you still insist on forking a process, you should at least be capturing its STDOUT and STDERR so you can actually get useful output out of it.

I was using url task .so to initiate opendeploy through url task .iwui must have od-admin role that was the issue ,so that was the issue ..if some one facing same issue first authorize iwui as od-admin role.

Hi,

We are also facing similar issue in WFM. We have already authorised the user as od-admin role.

But the logs are not getting updated (any of opendeploy logs).

Can you please provide any inputs?

Do I need to fork a process for the deployment to be executed?

TS : 7.4.1

OS: Windows 2012

Thanks,

Hi ,

I followed below steps ,hope it works out for u .

list users with od-admin role
./iwodauthorize -r list od-admin
Adding iwui user to od-admin role :
->iwodauthorize -r add od-admin iwui
->Restart od services.

Note : if you use urltask to trigger opendeploy then make sure iwui has od-admin role to trigger opendeploy other wise ot wont trigger.The urltask runs as iwui so to let it initiate OD, we have to assign iwui a role in OD.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I am running my URL Task as administrator. This user has already been given the od-admin role.

I tried with another user who also has the od-admin role.

But the deployment is not getting triggered although the class associated with external task is getting invoked.

Thanks,

Hi ,

Placde some sysout in java file and see upto where its going .

sumitk

These are going in server.log file (which is default location).

The log shows that OD command is getting formed correctly but after executing below statement:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(datadeployCommand);

The log file does not print anything. If I check the OD server status, no deployment is running in it. No updates in od.log as well and nothing is getting printed in server.log or content_center.log file.

gauravTsDev

Use like this code snippet .:

proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(odCltCmd);
proc.waitFor();

if(proc.exitValue()==0)
{

                        task.chooseTransition(task.getTransitions()[0], "Success");

                   }

                   if(proc.exitValue()==1)
                   {
                        task.chooseTransition(task.getTransitions()[1], "failure");

                   }

sumitk

When you say :

proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(odCltCmd);

Are you able to invoke the deployment and able to see OD logs getting created/updated?

I am doing similar thing but OD logs are not getting created/updated.

gauravTsDev

yes od logs gets updated odbase.log.Use proc.waitFor() so that it could finish the deployment before class execute finishes.Print exit value in log .Also check whether deployment not being stuck and if it is restart od services and again try executing file best way is to place sysout to know the cause.exitvalue =1 means failure.

sumitk

The WINDOWS environment runs the system calls through SYSTEM user. It worked after adding SYSTEM user into od-admin role.

Thanks for your help.
