WriteFile Problems

[kiestone]

Has anyone experienced issues using the ReadFile/WriteFile commands? When I tried the WriteFile on two different ServiceCenter servers, it hung the server until I restarted. I was using the example out of the ServiceCenter Javascript guide on pages 25 - 26 to see how it worked.

Any suggestions?

No I have not had any problems with that. Not that I have done it a lot. I have only used a script written by HP to generate javascript documentation and it worked fine.

Have you checked that the path you are using is valid ?

Care to elaborate on this? Sounds interesting...

I can't remember the exact name of the script. Seomthing with jsdocwriter.

What it does is scan the javascript library and writes some textfiles on the server. These textfiles can then be parsed by a perl script that generates html documentation. The script itself if documented so you should be able to get it to work by reading that. I found it by accident when 6.2 was new and I was checking it out.

It's an OOB ScriptLibrary? Hmm, might not be in 6.1 then.

Yes it is OOB and it is in 6.2 not in 6.1. I copied it back to 6.1 and it works just fine there too.

A little more information now that I have a chance to check in SC.

The scriplibrary is called: JSDocWriter

You need JSDoc to compile the html documents. Can be found here: http://jsdoc.sourceforge.net/ and you need Pearl to run JSDoc.

I don't have a 6.2 instance handy, could you possibly post an unload of the ScriptLibrary?

Apologies for the threadjack, OP. Sorry, I haven't used them either.

Hi,
I am using 6.1 version running on HP system. and I have the same problem with writeFile function.
Could you help me how to import this library and / or unl file.

Thank you.

Have you tried looking in the path you specified on the Server not on your client.
I ran into this today. JS runs server side which makes I suppose, but it kills me that it still locks up your client when you mess up a your code a bit.
