End User Preview ?
How do people handle outside end user reviewers ? I have users that are from differing groups who are a wide range of one time customers. Since, if I email joe a URL from TeamSite, it requires a login to see the virtualize page, this implies one of 3 options. First buy licenses for 1 time use, second have people log in as…

permissions on log files ?
Then I run custom ipl, the new log files created only have owner read/write permission, no group or other read access. Since the tasks run as users other than myself at times, I cannot check the log. I know I can go into the PERL and for each logfile, change how it is created. But since sometimes I use open, other times I…

Visiual format license notification
I have read KB 2402, and reinstalled ewebeditpro, however I am still getting, on one or two clients, the active X license issue. The only thing I can think of is that the users must use a fully qualified path (server.domain) rather than just server. So they can see the license file in…

DOS has iwchgrp.exe to change the group of a branch. Anyway to do this on SOlaris ? Someone made & poplated several branches with no group. I do not want to give this group tsadmin rights, who is the only owner. Andy

Workflows fail for author only
Something is wrong here. I have mutliple WFs defined. If I log in as an author (though I have master ability) they work great. If I remove my login from the editor, admin, & master role files, and run a WF I get : Invalid WOrkflow Job XXXX does not exist Error 02439 Operation not permitted Error User Andy cannot submit…

Perl backtiks run as root
I have a CGI that runs: $cmd="/usr/bin/touch /tmp/hi"; `$cmd`; When the cgi runs normal it is fine, but the file is owned by nobody. However I want this run as root so I chmod u+s to the cgi, now it does not run at all (I remove /tmp/hi nothing comes back) So it appears when the CGI is setuid, it will not do a system call.…

disable check for table existance in DD ?
Any idea if we can disable DD looking for a table's existance before it writes ? It sems like wasted overhead plaus, we do not want it to create a table, there are procedures for this. Our prefered behavior is that DD just fail on the write & we can fix it later. TIA Andy

Looking for some pointers (outside of TS Admin manual, enabling Server Side Include Requests) on how to debug this. Solaris 2.8, Apache, TS 552 SP2, create foo.shtml with images as /images/blah.jpg get the red X. rename foo.shtml to foo.html works fine. I have rechecked the iw.cfg and httd.conf. Everything looks according…

kb 49799 iwodstart core dumps in WF on SOlaris ?
Anyone see KB 49799 & get a fix to work ? The issue is that iwodstart seg faults (on solaris) when invoked from a WF due to bugs in TeamSite and SOlaris. The workaround(s) provided did not work (3, replace ksh, not popular here, point javawrapper to different shell, didn't work, and use -inst flag, worked on one system,…

sample of redirecting PT to another server ?
I am about to start hacking a PT that will generate some app server code & then spawn the "preview" redirected to another server. I was hoping someone had some sample code for this, it must be a common occurance, but I could not see anything in the archives or in the library that would help. Andy

JRE required for OD Receiver ?
I have an admin complaining about OD receiver taking up ~ 120 MB on Solaris. 70M is JRE. If I am not using the OD gui to manage this puppy, do we need the JRE ? Can it be removed without breaking something ? Andy

Finding who spawned a deployment ?
Strange problem. I have a deployment that gets invoked from a WF I wrote or a custom menu item. Somehow, somewhere, someone has this puppy kicking off every minute (with a bad set of parameters so it fails). How can I figure out how this is getting started ? It is not in cron, nor is it in the OD schedule. I know I can…

Massive deployment speed difference OD 5.5.2
This is strange. I have a WF that I run an iwodstart, it takes 4 seconds to run. My customer wants a custom menu item to deploy. Fine. Using the same deployment, OD takes 1 minute 41 seconds. This is on the same machine, just copying to /tmp. I have included the logfiles. OD runs for almost 2 minutes, just very slowly from…

Trying to do a get latest in a WF This command works great from solaris: iwupdate /default/main/config/STAGING /default/main/config/WORKAREA/tsadmn but this part of my WF does not update (the tasks on either side go, so I am certain it is executing. <updatetask lock = "f" name = "Update" owner = "tsadm" start =…

manually invoking a WFT ?
Anyone do this from a script ? iwjobc foo.wft (working wft) feed to iwinvokejob The man page shows an XML file not a wft. When I run iwjobc from the shell it complains of "stuff" at the end of my xml at line 211 which is where my workflow actually starts. Anyone do this will it take a WFT ? Tips/Pointers/RTFMs appreciated…

<submittask> Q
I am writing a WF to, after someone copies in a bunch of files, that gets spawned and submits all changes. Going through testing and the docs, it looks like <submittask> will only take a list of files, not just figure out what's different & submit those. The hacker in me says, make it an external task that spawns iwsubmit…

Thought this was helpful...
For those of you (on unix) that want a list of files that contain a certain string in a large directory. I use it to search for perl lcoations in this example: find /iw-home -name "*.*pl" -print | xargs grep -l "#!/iw-home" | more gives a list like this : /iw-home/private/bin/iwanalyze.ipl…

managing config files in TS
Just curious. I am managing all of our config files in TeamSite. So I have a workflow that deploys from the config branch to $IW-HOME. Works great when people are used to editing the files by hand. The rub comes when you use the admin gui, open deploy gui, WFB, etc. Since these programs look only in the "approved" areas…

telnet to OD port ?
Used to be, with older OpenDeploy, you could telnet to the port for OpenDeploy and tell that it is running. Has that functionality changed in later releases ? Is there a way to verify that the OD receiver is hanging on a port ? Andy

max num character dir name on Solaris ?
I remember Solaris has/used to have a max number of characters for files & directories. I am running Solaris 2.8 and TS 5.5.2, does anyone know what the upper bound is ? I thought only the first 19 characters were significant. But hey, I also thought the Bears would make the playoffs last year. :-) Tips/Pointers/RTFMs…

New receivers, 5.5.1 or 5.6
I have some serverd loaded with 5.5.1 (OD), got a new one to bring up. Are there any compelling reasons to load 5.6 yet or are people staying with 5.5 ? I am not moving to 5.6 anytime soon. ANdy

IWOV regex reference suggestions ?
OK, so normally I am a brute force type of guy. Instead of complex regex I write a perl script to brute force my way through a problem. Unfortunately I cannot keep doing that, so I wanted to find out what some good reference materials might be. I am using Unix Power Tools (admittedly that is old but still really good), I…

Only Masters can use WFB ?
I looked through the archives, did not see this. It appears that one must be a master to use WFB ? (to connect to the server). Is there a way to allow Administrators to do this ? Anyone who needs to use the GUI to build workflows is someone I do not want having master access. :-) Andy

Location of custom CGIs ?
Where do people put custom CGIs ? I was hoping to place project specific directories under httpd/iw-bin however the scripts do not behave consistently. The admin manual recommends placing in httpd/iw-bin but I would prefer keeping the project separate. One example of a failure is the show_env.cgi which behaves differently…

Locking a file one server 2 from server 1
I have 2 TS servers with some common objects. No NFS connection in between. I am looking for an easy way to programmatically lock the 2 redundant objects at the same time. Server 1 had /default/main/foo.txt, I want to lock both at the same time, without requiring the user to lock into server2. Choice 1, write a rsh/ssh…
