Workflow Handler: execute-follow-up

[naveengm]

Any pointers on how to use  execute-follow-up workflow handler in 4 tier architecture.

The handler worked perfect when I dropped custom program in "TCROOT/bin" folder in 2 tier architecture.

It will work in 4-tier too (exactly like how it worked in 2-tier) except the custom program will execute on the 4-tier server.

Hello Fegade,

I tried in my DEV environment- 4 Tier . My custom program didnt get invoked at all.

Is there any other extra settings need to be done apart from dropping into TCRoot/bin ?

Does your program invoke any UI or requires login?

If your 4-tier server is configured to run pool manager/tcservers as a service, then there is no "login" associated with the tcserver process.

Further if no one is logged in on 4-tier server (i.e. all processes are running in background), then any program that requires login or UI will not work.

Did you restart your pool manager after putting it in the %TC_ROOT%\bin folder?

Resolution: 

My custom program was referring to Mapped-Network-Drive which is fine with 2T. But in 4T, mapped drives are not recognized. Alternatively changing to UNC as suggested by Fegade resolved the issue.

Thanks Fegade.
