This appendix provides information about Idoc Script functions and variables, which you can use for customizing Oracle WebCenter Content.
Idoc Script has many built-in global functions. Functions perform actions, including string comparison and manipulation routines, date formatting, and ResultSet manipulation. Some functions also return results, such as the results of calculations or comparisons.
Information is passed to functions by enclosing the information in parentheses after the name of the function. Pieces of information that are passed to a function are called parameters. Some functions do not take parameters; some functions take one parameter; some take several. There are also functions for which the number of parameters depends on how the function is being used.
In addition to the built-in global functions, you can define new global functions, including custom classes, with Java code. For more information, see Chapter 11, "Getting Started with Content Server Components," and Chapter 17, "Creating Custom Components."
Along with built-in functions, Idoc Script uses a range of variables. Variables which are used within Idoc scripts include dynamic variables, conditional dynamic variables, and page display variables. Many of these variables can be used both within scripts and specified individually in the WebCenter Content config.cfg and intradoc.cfg files, or used in a web browser URL.
For details about variables that are used only in .cfg files or in a web browser URL, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content.
Aborts the current page and displays an error message.
This function evaluates the StatusCode variable, and if a negative numeric value (-1) is returned, substitutes the display of the current page with an error page.
The StatusMessage variable can be used as the error message string.
The only parameter is the error message string.
Returns the error message string on an error page.
Aborts the current page and displays Access Denied as an error message:
<$abortToErrorPage("Access Denied")$>
Aborts the current page and displays the value of the StatusMessage variable as an error message:
<$abortToErrorPage("<$StatusMessage$>")$>
Specifies that a metadata field option list has blank value as the first option in the list.
Returns TRUE if the first value in the option is blank.
Returns FALSE if the first value in the option list is not blank.
Specifies that the first value in the option list is blank:
<$if ForceDocTypeChoice and isTrue(ForceDocTypeChoice)$>
<$addEmptyOption = 1$>
<$endif$>
Checks if the current user has the admin role for at least one security group.
Returns TRUE if the user is an administrator for at least one security group.
Returns FALSE if the user is not assigned the admin role.

<$if (AdminAtLeastOneGroup)$>
<a href="<$redirect$>">
<$endif$>
Specifies whether the current page was created immediately after a login.
Returns TRUE if the page was created immediately after a login.
Returns FALSE if the page was not created immediately after a login.
Displays an alternate URL if the page was not created immediately after a login:

<$endif$>
Checks if the current user has checkin permission for the content item's security group.
Returns TRUE if the user has checkin permission.
Returns FALSE if the user does not have checkin permission.
Can be used to do an optional presentation for a user with checkin permission:
<$if (AllowCheckin)$>
<a href="<$redirect$>">
<$endif$>
Checks whether current user has checkout permission for the content item's security group.
Returns TRUE if the user has checkout permission.
Returns FALSE if the user does not have checkout permission.

<$endif$>
Specifies the e-mail address of the author of a content item.
Returns a string or Boolean value depending on use.
Standard use: Returns the e-mail address of the content item's author as a string.
Used in a conditional statement:
Returns TRUE if the content item author has a defined e-mail address.
Returns FALSE if the content item author has no e-mail address.
Can be used to alert the content item author through e-mail when a revision is made.
<$AuthorAddress$>
Enables authors of content items to delete their own revisions without having the Delete privilege for the security group.
When set to TRUE and Content Server is configured to use Folders (enabled by the FrameworkFolders component), authors can delete their own revisions as long as they have the Read privilege, where normally they would need the Delete privilege for the security group.
When set to TRUE and Content Server is configured to use Contribution Folders (enabled by the Folders_g component), authors can delete their own revisions as long as they have the Read privilege, where normally they would need the Delete privilege for the security group.
Default is an empty string.

This function acts similar to the inc() Idoc Script function. It will evaluate the dynamic html include corresponding to includeName and display it on the page. The difference is that if possible, it will pull the rendered html from a cache, instead of evaluating it again.
For more information, see Section 3.4.1, "Keywords Versus Functions."
Takes three required parameters and two optional parameters. For example:
cacheInclude(includeName, scope, lifeSpan [, cacheName, key])
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
includeName |
The name of the dynamic html element to evaluate. |
|
scope |
Set to 'session' if each user should see different html, or 'application' if all users will see the same thing. |
|
lifeSpan |
The lifespan of this include in the cache, in seconds. |
|
cacheName |
Optional: if you want to place this data into a named cache instead of the default cache. If an empty string is passed, it will cache the include into the default cache for the session. |
|
key |
Optional: if you do not want automatic name-scoping of your cache to prevent conflicts, you can specify a unique key here. |
This will cache the std_page_begin include for each user for ten minutes. This is about 10k per user in the cache.
<$cacheInclude("std_page_begin", "session", 600)$>
Specifies the width of a metadata field, in percent.
Returns the width of the current metadata field in percent.

This function can take zero, one, or two parameters.
If passed zero arguments, it clears the data binder. Returns no value.
If passed one argument, the argument is the name of the ResultSet to clear the values from the current row. Returns no value.
If passed two arguments, the first argument is the ResultSet name and the second argument is the key identifying the data object to clear. Returns 0 if the data does not exist or 1 if it does exist. The use is True() or False() to conditionally execute scripts based on the return value.
<$clearSchemaData()$>
Checks if the page was accessed from the ODMA Client.
This value is passed by the string for controlling the update process that is provided by the client.
Returns TRUE if the page was accessed from the ODMA Client.
Returns FALSE if the page was not accessed from the ODMA Client.
Checks if the page was accessed from the ODMA Client:
<$ClientControlled$>
This function computes the URL to a content item based on the data on the page.
For example, this function can be called to generate a URL to an item when looping over a ResultSet of items.
The following information must be present on the page:
dDocAccount (optional)
dDocName
dDocType
dProcessingState
dRevLabel
dSecurityGroup
dWebExtension
The only parameter indicates if the URL is relative, set to TRUE (1) or FALSE (0).
Returns the URL of a given rendition.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the URL of the content item.
The second parameter is the dRevLabel value.
The third parameter is the dRendition1 value. Possible values of dRendition1 include:
T = Thumbnail rendition
X = XML rendition
Returns the complete URL of the rendition as a string.
Returns the URL of the rendition as a string.
<$computeRenditionUrl(url, dRevLabel, dRendition1)$>
Retrieves the length in bytes of the requested content item as supplied by the client.
This variable is specific to the current gateway program request.
Important:
This setting is obsolete for Content Server version 7.0 and later. The web server filter no longer sends this information.
Returns the content length in bytes.
As information output on a page or to a log:
CONTENT_LENGTH=0
As part of an Idoc Script statement or evaluation:
<$if CONTENT_LENGTH$>
<!--statement-->
Set this variable in the URL of a service request to display only the form. The std_page_begin and std_page_end include files will not be displayed.
None.
Returns the current date and time.
This variable is similar to dateCurrent, which is used more frequently.
Returns a string formatted according to the user locale.
Used as script:
<$CURRENT_DATE$>
Evaluates which row of a ResultSet you are in.
The first row in a ResultSet is row zero (0).
Returns the row number.
Used as script:
<$CURRENT_ROW$>
Returns the current date and time.
Can be used to return the current date and time to the user or to create commands using date evaluations.
The only optional parameter is an integer, which adjusts the date by the specified number of days relative to the current date.
Returns a date formatted according to the user locale.
In the following examples, dates are formatted according to the default English-US locale:
m/d/yy h:mm XM
The following returns the current date and the current time (for example, 8/12/01 1:55 PM):
<$dateCurrent()$>
Returns the date ten days in the future and the current time (for example, 8/22/01 1:55 PM):
<$dateCurrent(10)$>
Returns the date ten days in the past and the current time (for example, 8/2/01 1:55 PM):
<$dateCurrent(-10)$>
This function verifies if the Dynamic Converter has been configured to convert a content item. The returned value is based on the value for dFormat for the item.
This function is typically used on Search Result pages to conditionally display a Dynamic Converter link.
Returns TRUE if the Dynamic Converter is configured to convert the content item.
Returns FALSE if the Dynamic Converter is not configured.

This function loads a dynamicdata table into a ResultSet. It is very similar to ddLoadIndexedColumnResultSet. The main difference is that if the Idoc Script ResultSet already exists, the new ResultSet created from the dynamicdata table is appended to it. Any fields found in the dynamicdata table, but not in the target ResultSet, are automatically added.
The following table lists parameters for this function.
| Parameters | Description |

This function takes a dynamicdata table and returns a comma-separated string containing the names of the columns in the table. It is expected that many dynamicdata tables consist only of field names without any rows just to supply comma-separated lists of values to code in the Content Server system.
This function has one parameter, dataTableName, which is the name of the dynamicdata table to load.
If the dynamictable exists, it returns True.
<@dynamicdata MyDataTable@>
foo,bar,baz
<@end@>
<$fieldList = ddGetFieldList("MyDataTable")$>
<$trace(fieldList, "#console")$> [[% Outputs: foo,bar,baz %]]
This function executes a resource include, but protects values specified by a dynamicdata table from being changed. The column names in the data table are used as the list of variables names that must be protected. These variables are protected by temporarily caching them, calling the include, and then resetting those variables back to the cached values. If a variable was null, it is set to blank.
If one of the column names in the table starts with a dollar symbol ($), then the string that follows is assumed to be the name of a ResultSet. In that case, it is the pointer to the ResultSet that is temporarily cached in memory and then replaced after the resource include has finished executing. If the ResultSet did not exist at the time of caching, then any ResultSet that exists with that key at the end are removed. If the ResultSet is active at the time it has its pointer cached, new ResultSets of the same name can be created during the call of the include and the previously active ResultSet will be recovered appropriately without disturbing the loop. The one side effect is that if a new ResultSet is created that temporarily replaces the active ResultSet, then the algorithm for variable substitution that retrieves values first from active ResultSets can find values for a variable from the cached active ResultSet (assuming the variable is not found as a field in an active ResultSet with higher precedence). The cached active ResultSet maintains its place in the active ResultSet stack,
The following table lists parameters for the function.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The name of the resource include to execute. |
|
dataTableName |
The name of the dynamicdata table to use for preserving local data and ResultSets. |
A string representing the output of the executed resource include.

This function merges a dynamicdata table into an existing ResultSet. If the target ResultSet does not exist, then this function acts exactly like ddLoadResultSet and the target ResultSet is simply created. Otherwise, the merge is performed using the first column of the new ResultSet as the merge key. By default, the merge appends any rows from the new ResultSet that do not match any rows in the existing Idoc Script table, unless the mergeType parameter is set to replace, in which case no new rows are added to the Idoc Script ResultSet.
Note that this merge does not replace all rows matched by a particular row of the new ResultSet, just the first one that it finds. The matching is case-sensitive. The mergeType parameter is optional and defaults to null.
The following table lists parameters for the function.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|

This function pulls selective rows from a dynamicdata table and use them to replace particular row values in a target ResultSet. The values of a particular column in the target ResultSet are used as values for an index look up into the dynamicdata table. The subtable retrieved is used to replace column values in the target ResultSet that have matching column names. The dynamicdata table is assumed to have only one row in the subtable selected out by the index value. If it has more than one row, only the first row is used to merge in values into the target ResultSet.
The following table lists parameters for the function.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The name of the dynamicdata table to load. |
|
|
The name of the ResultSet into which the dynamicdata table should be merged. |
|
|
The name of an indexed column in the dynamicdata table and the name of the column in the target ResultSet from which values are retrieved to select out subtables in the dynamicdata table. |
|
|
The name of a dynamicdata table which should be used to rename the columns of the final ResultSet. This renaming is done by mapping the column names in this mapping table to the values of the first row in this same table. This is done exactly as it is done in |
If the dynamicdata table is successfully merged, it returns TRUE.

This function takes a dynamicdata table and iterates over it, setting local data values for each row. The first column of the table is used as the list of keys, while the second column is used as the list of values.
This function has one parameter, dataTableName, which is the name of the dynamicdata table to load.
If the dynamicdata table exists, it returns TRUE.

This function takes the first row of a dynamicdata table and, using the column names as keys, sets a local value for each column and its corresponding value. If there is no first row, then this function does nothing. This can be a useful method for quickly setting a lot of local values. The filterInclude and includeColumns properties of the dynamicdata table are ignored.
This function has one parameter, dataTableName, which is the name of the dynamicdata table to load.
If the dynamicdata table was successfully loaded, it returns TRUE.
<@dynamicdata MyDataTable@>
fieldA, fieldB, fieldC
foo, bar, baz
<@end@>
<$exec ddSetLocalByColumnsFromFirstRow("MyDataTable")$>
<$tmpStr1 = #local.fieldA$> [[% (tmpStr1 == 'foo') %]]
<$tmpStr2 = #local.fieldC$> [[% (tmpStr2 == 'baz') %]]
This function takes the first row of a dynamicdata table, and, using the column names as keys, sets a local value for each column and its corresponding value. If there is no first row, then this function does nothing. This function is almost identical to ddSetLocalByColumnsFromFirstRow. The only difference is that this function uses the first row given an indexed column and value instead of the very first row of the dynamicdata table. If no indexed row is found then this function does nothing.
The following table lists parameters for the function.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The name of the dynamicdata table to load. |
|
|
The name of an indexed column in the dynamicdata table. |
|
|
The value to use to select a row of the original table. This value will be checked in a case-insensitive manner against the indexColumn in each row. If it matches, that row will be used and the rest of the table will be ignored. |
If the dynamicdata table is successfully loaded, it returns TRUE.
<@dynamicdata MyDataTable@>
<?commatable indexedColumns="fieldB"?>
fieldA, fieldB, fieldC
1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6

The content item specified must have the file extension idoc.
This function sets StatusCode as a side effect. Use the abortToErrorPage function if the specified file must successfully load for the page to correctly display.
Takes a CGI-encoded parameter list that specifies a content item that is checked into the Content Server system. The parameter options are listed in the following table.
| Optional Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
|
dID |
If dID is not present, dDocName and RevisionSelectionMethod must be present. A rendition of the revision of the content item with this ID will be returned, if it exists, and the RevisionSelectionMethod parameter does not exist or has the value Specific. |
|
dDocName |
It is recommended that dDocName be present in all requests for content items where the dDocName is known. Error messages assume that it is present, as do other features such as forms.
|
|
RevisionSelectionMethod |
If present, dDocName must be present. The value of this variable is the method used to compute a dID from the specified dDocName. The value may be Specific, Latest, or LatestReleased.
|
|
Rendition |
|
Note:
When used in HCSP pages, the ampersand (&) character in the CGI-encoded parameter list must be changed to the & character.
None.
Loads the resource includes in the primary vault rendition of the latest revision of mydoc.
<$docLoadResourceIncludes("dDocName=mydoc&RevisionSelectionMethod=Latest")$>
Retrieves the file name of a file without the extension or directory path.
This function is typically used to extract the Content ID (dDocName) part of a static URL controlled by Content Server.
Takes one parameter:
The only parameter is a path and file name.
Returns the file name as a string.
Returns the value mydoc:
docRootFilename("/groups/public/documents/adacct/mydoc.pdf")
Evaluates whether the Type of the current content item matches the Type in the active ResultSet.
Returns TRUE if the content item Types match.
Returns FALSE if the content item Types do not match.
Returns value based on whether the content item type matches the type for the ResultSet.
<$DocTypeSelected$>
Retrieves the URL of the file in the weblayout/ directory. This variable is evaluated once per content item, not once per service call.
Returns the URL of the file as a string.
Used to build URL links to content items.
<$if HasUrl$>
<a href="<$DocUrl$>"><$dDocName$></a>
<$else$>
<$dDocName$>
<$endif$>
Evaluates whether a URL can be disclosed to the current user.
The only parameter is an absolute path, such as the following:
http://mycomputer/domain/groups/.../documents/mydoc.pdf
A full relative path can be used, such as the following:
/oracle/domain/.../documents/mydoc.pdf).
Returns a Boolean value.
Returns TRUE if the URL can be disclosed.
Returns FALSE if the URL is restricted.

When set to FALSE, the Download Applet is disabled.
Default is FALSE.
Configuration variables, described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content
System Properties, Options tab, Enable download applet
Admin Server, General Configuration, Enable download applet
IntradocDir/config/config.cfg
As a configuration setting, enables the Download Applet:
DownloadApplet=true
As script, evaluates the condition of the Download Applet:
<$DownloadApplet$>
Retrieves the default path and suggested name for a file being downloaded.
The suggested name is based on the original file name of the content item.
Returns the path and suggested name for the downloaded file as a string.
Returns the path and suggested name for the downloaded file:
<$DownloadSuggestedName$>
Function used to return the value set by the dpSet function.
Both dpGet and dpSet are used to control the logic of Content Profile rules that are to be displayed. Commonly, a user may create an activation condition that sets a value for a specified key. Even if the condition evaluates to false (that is, the rule fails to fire), the key is set. Another rule can now access the key and retrieve the value when evaluating its activation condition. By using these two functions, a user can create a dependency between rules. For example, a user may want a rule to be evaluated only when a preceding rule is evaluated.
Takes one parameter:
Key: The designation for the value to be returned.
<$myValue = dpGet("myKey")$>
Function used to 'promote' values from a rule evaluation context into the request context. After the evaluation of all rules, the key and value specified by this function are pushed into the local data.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the designation for the value to be returned.
The second parameter is the value to be returned.
This example changes the value for AutoNumberPrefix for one request to be the value for dDocType:
<$dpPromote("AutoNumberPrefix", dDocType)$>
This example causes the Title field to be hidden on checkin pages:
<$dpPromote("dDocTitle:isHidden", "1")$>
Similar to dpPromote, this function allows a ResultSet that is generated in a profile rule to be promoted to the request context. The ResultSet is pushed into the DataBinder after the evaluation of all rules. The values are not evaluated during rule activation or manipulation but are available for page presentation.
This function can take two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the ResultSet to push into the data.
Optional. The second parameter is an alternate name for the ResultSet.
Function used to set temporary values during the evaluation of activation conditions or rule values anywhere Idoc Script is evaluated.
The values are set into a working area and can be retrieved by the dpGet function call. The key and value that is set does not persist, but is globally available for the profile being evaluated. All key/value pairs can be accessed by the rules of the profile.
Both dpGet and dpSet are used to control the logic of Content Profile rules that are to be displayed. Commonly, a user may create an activation condition that sets a value for a specified key. Even if the condition evaluates to false (that is, the rule fails to fire), the key is set. Another rule can now access the key and retrieve the value when evaluating its activation condition. By using these two functions, a user can create a dependency between rules. For example, a user may want a rule to be evaluated only when a preceding rule is evaluated.
This function takes two parameters:
Key: The designation for the value to be returned.
Value: Value associated with the key.
<$dpSet("myKey", "1")$>
Retrieves the name of the workflow.
Returns the name of the workflow as a string.
The following code in the IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow_info.htm template page is used to display the workflow name on the Workflow Step Information page:
<td align=right><span class=infoLabel><$lc("wwLabelWorkflow")$></span></td>
<td><span class=tableEntry><$dWfName$></span></td>
Retrieves the name of the current step in the workflow.
Returns the name of the current step as a string.
The following code in the IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow_info.htm template page is used to display the current step name on the Workflow Step Information page:
<td align=right><span class=infoLabel><$lc("wwCurrentStep")$>
</span></td>
<td><span class=tableEntry>
<$loop WorkflowStep$>
<$dWfStepName$>
<$exec RequiredUsers = dWfStepWeight$>
<$if isTrue(dWfStepIsAll)$><$exec RequiredUsers = 0$><$endif$>
<$endloop$></span>
</td>
Checks if an account must be specified on the checkin page.
Used on the Standard Page Resources page to display an error message if an account is not specified.
Returns TRUE if an Account value is required.
Returns FALSE if an Account value is not required.
Evaluates whether an account number is required and displays an error message.
<$if not EmptyAccountCheckinAllowed$>
<$isRequired = 1, requiredMsg = "Please specify an account."$>
<$endif$>
Enables highlighting of full-text search terms in PDF, text, and HTML files.
When set to TRUE, search term highlighting is enabled.
When set to FALSE, search term highlighting is disabled.
Default is FALSE after installation of Content Server.
Default is TRUE after installation of PDF Converter.
Configuration variables, described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content
System Properties, Options tab, Enable search keyword highlighting
Admin Server, General Configuration, Enable search keyword highlighting
IntradocDir/config/config.cfg
As a configuration setting:
EnableDocumentHighlight=false
As script, returns the value of the configuration setting:
<$EnableDocumentHighlight$>
Idoc function used to filter data input for illegal or corruptive HTML constructs. This function is used by default in Threaded Discussions, a component available during installation.
All input data received by Content Server when using the unsafe value for the rule parameter applies only to well-known unsafe script tags. This functionality can be altered by using the HtmlDataInputFilterLevel configuration variable to change the filtering that is done.
Takes two required and one optional parameter:
The first parameter is the string to encode.
The second parameter is the rule to apply when encoding HTML constructs. The following values are allowed:
none: no conversion is done to HTML constructs.
unsafe: only well-known unsafe script tags are encoded.
exceptsafe: well-known safe script tags are not encoded.
lfexceptsafe: recommended for use when extended comments are entered by users and line breaks in the original text must be preserved.
An optional parameter is also available that specifies if long strings without space characters are to be broken up and what maximum word size to apply. Specify either wordbreak or nowordbreak.
Returns the encoded string.
"HtmlDataInputFilterLevel" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content
Retrieves the number of times the current workflow step has been entered by the current revision.
This variable can be used to create conditional statements, but it should not be hard-coded or altered.
This variable is localized in the companion file and maintained in the key:
<step_name>@<workflow_name>.entryCount
Returns the entry count as an integer.
The following code defines a jump called MaxEntry, which exits to the parent workflow and notifies the reviewers if the last time the step was entered was more than one week ago:
<$if wfCurrentGet("entryCount")==2$>
<$wfSet("WfJumpName","MaxEntry")$>
<$wfSet("WfJumpTargetStep",wfExit(0,0))$>
<$wfSet("WfJumpEntryNotifyOff","0")$>
<$endif$>
Evaluates a variable definition as if it were Idoc Script. Can be used to recursively evaluate a literal string.
The only parameter is a variable that defines a string to be evaluated as Idoc Script.
Returns the parameter string, with any Idoc Script in the variable definition resolved.
Variable one is assigned the string CompanyName, and variable two is assigned a string that includes variable one within Idoc Script delimiters. On a page, variable one presents the string CompanyName, variable two presents the string Welcome to <$one$> and eval(two) presents the string Welcome to CompanyName.
<$one="CompanyName"$> <$two="Welcome to <$one$>"$> <$one$><br> <$two$><br> <$eval(two)$>
Say you wanted to exclude all metadata fields that have the prefix xPrefix in their names. You could use the eval() function to dynamically write and evaluate Idoc Script for this purpose:
<$loop DocMetaDefinition$>
<$if strIndexOf("xPrefix", dName) >= 0$>
<$myScript = "<$" & dName & ":isExcluded=1$>"$>
<$eval(myScript)$>
<$endif$>
<$endloop$>
Determines whether users can check out content that was authored by another user.
When set to TRUE, only the author or a user with Admin permission to the security group can check out a content item.
When set to FALSE, users with Write permission to the security group can check out content that was authored by another user.
Default is FALSE.
System Properties, Content Security tab, Allow only original contributor to check out
Admin Server, Content Security, Allow only original contributor to check out
IntradocDir/config/config.cfg
As a configuration setting, only original contributor can check out a content item.
ExclusiveCheckout=true
As Idoc Script, returns the value of the configuration setting:
<$ExclusiveCheckout$>
Executes an Idoc Script expression and suppresses the output (does not display the expression on the page).
In earlier versions of Idoc Script, the exec keyword was required to suppress the value of any variable from appearing in the output file. In the current version, the exec keyword is needed only to suppress an expression from appearing in the output.
For example, the first line below is equivalent to the last two lines:
<$varA="stringA", varB ="stringB"$> <$exec varA="stringA"$> <$exec varB="stringB"$>
The exec keyword is typically used to evaluate behind-the-scenes code, such as specifying an include to be used later in the page.
The only parameter is an Idoc Script expression.
Returns the value of the expression, but does not display the expression on the page.
Evaluates the inc global function to incorporate the specified includes without displaying their code on the page:
<@dynamichtml std_definitions@>
<$exec inc("std_page_variable_definitions")$>
<$exec inc("define_image_files")$>
<@end@>
Executes a Content Server service.
This function allows the specified service to be executed while the page is being constructed. Generally, services are executed using a tool such as IdcCommand or the CGI URL on the browser.
Used with dynamic server pages.
Services that can be called with the executeService function must be scriptable, meaning that they do not require parameter input. Scriptable services have an access level of 32 or more.
The only parameter is the name of the service to be executed. The live data in the DataBinder is used as parameters to the specified service.
Returns a StatusCode value of 0 if the service was executed successfully.
Returns a StatusCode value of -1 if an error in the service execution occurred.
All output of the executed service is suppressed, but any ResultSets and loaded values are available.
Executes a service when given a service name:
<$executeService("servicename")$>
Retrieves the default roles for users who are defined by an external user base (NTLM, Active Directory, or LDAP).
Returns a comma-delimited list of accounts, with permissions for each account specified in parentheses after the account name.

This is a comma-delimited list.
If a content item matches any of the specified conversion rules upon checkin, the file will be converted according to that rule. Each file can be converted into multiple renditions.
There is no default.
Note:
The forced conversion process does not apply the same Dynamic Converter template twice. For example, if you set ForcedConversionRules=RuleA,RuleB, but RuleA and RuleB specify the same template with a different layout, the conversion according to RuleB will not occur. (Best practice in this case would be to merge the layouts and use Idoc Script to dynamically select the appropriate layout elements.)
Configuration variables, described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content

Used as a configuration entry:
ForcedConversionRules=Rule1,Rule2,Rule3
"DisableForcedConversions" and "rule:IsFragmentOnly" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content
This function can be used to force the cache for a particular include to expire. This is useful in the case of a change in the page display, such as adding new metadata fields, or if the user has saved a new query, or altered which links are viewable.
If the value for 'includeName' is null, or an empty string, then the entire cache will be eliminated. This is useful when all includes for a particular page are placed into the same cache, and need to be expired at the same time.
For more information about keywords versus functions, see Section 3.4.1, "Keywords Versus Functions."
Takes two required parameters and two optional parameters. For example:
forceExpire(includeName, scope [, cacheName, key])
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
includeName |
The name of the dynamic html element to evaluate. |
|
scope |
Set to 'session' if each user should see different html, or 'application' if all users will see the same thing. |
|
cacheName |
Optional: if you want to place this data into a named cache instead of the default cache. If an empty string is passed, it will cache the include into the default cache for the session. |
|
key |
Optional: if you do not want automatic name-scoping of your cache to prevent conflicts, you can specify a unique key here. |
This can be used as a replacement for the 'std_page_begin' include. It will verify if the user executed one of the standard service calls to modify the links on the standard left navigation bar (saving a query, altering the portal design). If so, the cached html for the standard page begin will be invalidated. Then, the next 'cacheInclude' function will reevaluate the include, and place it back into the cache.
<$if strEquals(IdcService, "PNE_SAVE_QUERY") or strEquals(IdcService, "PNE_UPDATE_PORTAL_INFO")$>
<$forceExpire("std_main_page_begin", "session", "", "std_main_page_begin")$>
<$endif$>
<$cacheInclude("std_main_page_begin", "session", 600, "", "std_main_page_begin")$>
Reformats a date/time to the default date/time format.
Database-formatted dates cannot be evaluated (for example, 2001-06-15).
Long-formatted dates cannot be evaluated (for example, June 15, 2001).
The only parameter is a string that specifies a date/time.
Returns the date/time in the format used by dateCurrent (for example, 6/15/01 1:55 PM).
Returns null if the parameter cannot be evaluated.
If a time is not provided, returns a default time of 12:00 AM.
The following example formats the date and time and displays it as 12/14/99 2:00 PM:
<$formatDate("12/14/1999 02:00 PM")$>
The following example formats the date, assigns the default time, and displays it as 9/15/03 12:00 AM:
<$formatDate("09/15/2003")$>
The following script formats and displays a specified date and time. Line one evaluates an alternate date and time format and assigns it to a custom variable. Line two displays this date to a user.
<$my_customDateTime = formatDate("06/14/2004 15:05:34")$>
Final Approval: <$my_customDateTime$>
Output:
Final Approval: 6/14/04 3:05 PM
Formats the date and time in preparation for an SQL query. Long-formatted dates cannot be evaluated (for example, May 22, 2000).
The only parameter is a string or variable that specifies a date and time.
Returns an ODBC-formatted date and time:
[ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss']
Returns null if the parameter cannot be evaluated.
If a time is not provided, returns a default time of 00:00:00.

Formats the date only and displays as June 12, 2001:
<$formatDateOnlyFull("6/12/01 3:00 PM")$>
Reformats a date/time to a specified date/time pattern.
When using this variable in a program (instead of dynamic page), add !rfc to the end of the date pattern. This provides a date format that conforms to the rfc standard. If !rfc is not added, a program will try to use the locale to create the date string, but in the case of a timed update event, no locale is specified. Consequently, the output uses integers instead of strings for the day and month.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is a date string used by the Content Server instance, or a date object created with the parseDate or dateCurrent functions.
The second parameter is the date/time pattern, such as MM/dd/yyyy.

The name of a metadata field.
The flag to return for the field when it is found.
A default value to return if the field does not exist.
Returns the specified configuration flag.
<$caption = getFieldConfigValue("dDocTitle", "fieldCaption", lc("wwTitle"))$>
Returns the display value for an item in a Schema option list.
For example, assume an option list exists for a custom metadata field named Customer. In the database there is a schema table with the CustomerName column and a unique CustomerID column. On checkin the CustomerName value is visible to the user, but the CustomerID value is stored in the database. The getFieldViewDisplayValue function extracts the human-readable CustomerName value based on the CustomerID value.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the field to be used for the option list.
The second parameter is the name of the schema view used for the current field.
The third parameter is the value assigned to the field.
Returns the display value.
<$customerName = getFieldViewDisplayValue("xCustomer", "Customer_View", "1234")$>
This function is used when defining a content rule for a field. The value of a field for a content profile can be made dependent on a view by using this function. Because a field can have both a default and a derived value, the view can be used to create an interdependency between fields.
Takes three parameters:
Field. The name of a metadata field. This field must have an associated view.
Value. A lookup key for value.
Column name. A column in the view's table.
Returns the value in the column specified using the field value as a lookup.
In the following example, the view table for the field xEmployee has a column called type. Using the value as specified in the xEmployee metadata field, this function provides a lookup into this table and returns the type column value.
getFieldViewValue("xEmployee", #active.xEmployee, "type")
This function returns the amount of free memory in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This is a performance auditing function used on the System Audit Information page.
The amount of free JVM memory in megabytes.

This function returns the size of an option list. It is used to determine whether to display custom user metadata fields on the User Profile page.
The only parameter is the option list to be sized.
Returns the size of the specified option list.
This function returns a parent value from a Schema view. This is needed before generating the dependent option list for the current field.
In most cases this function returns the same value as the internal parent value parameter because most option lists trigger their dependency on the unique key for the parent field. However, this is not a requirement for complex dependent choice lists.
Takes four parameters:
The name of the schema view used for the current field.
The name of the schema relation between this field and the parent field.
The name of the parent field.
The internal value for the parent field. This may be different than the value displayed on the page. This is often a unique number stored internally.
<$parentValue=getParentValue("xState", "Country_State", "xCountry", "123")$>
This function is used on presentation pages to populate the Java script with the desired error message. The error message is set from the content rule user interface for a field that is designated as required. It returns a required message based on the following algorithm:
The function looks for the fieldname:requiredMsg value.
If the value exists, it is localized.
If the value is undefined or the message is empty, the function returns the default message and does not localize it. To localize the message, the caller of the function must use the lc function on the default message before passing it to this function (getRequiredMsg).
Takes two parameters:
Fieldname: Field associated with the error message.
Message: Default message to be used.
Gets the web version of a text file and returns its contents to a string.
This can be used only with files that have a format containing text, such as text/html, text/plain, or text/xml. Specifically, the dFormat field of the content item must start with text. For example, if an HCSP file is checked in, Formats: text/hcsp is displayed in the Content Info display; therefore, the content is displayed by the getTextFile() function.
There must be enough information to determine the content item's web URL. The dID value is the only required metadata field.
The following information must be present:
dDocName, dWebExtension, dSecurityGroup, dRevLabel, and dDocType.
If Accounts are enabled, dDocAccount must also be specified.
This information is available automatically after a GET_SEARCH_RESULTS call or after a DOC_INFO call.
This function should be wrapped with a cacheInclude call for greater performance. That can, however, create a security issue if all docs go to the same cache.
This function does not take parameters but uses variables on the page to determine the document's URL.
<$loop SearchResults$>
<$fullDocument=getTextFile()$>
<h2><$dDocTitle$></h2>
<div><$fullDocument$></div>
<$endloop$>
This function returns the amount of total memory in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This is a performance auditing function used on the System Audit Information page to determine how much memory the server is using.
The total JVM memory in megabytes.
<$totalMem = getTotalMemory()$>

The only parameter is a user-related variable.
Returns the value of the metadata field for the current user.
Evaluates to TRUE if the user value was retrieved.
Evaluates to FALSE if an error in retrieval occurred.
Returns a StatusCode value of -1 if the value is unspecified or unknown.
Returns the user type of the currently logged on user:
<$getUserValue('dUserType')$>
This function has multiple uses:
Retrieves the value of a particular metadata field from local, active, or environment data.
Retrieves the value of a particular column from a specific ResultSet.
Retrieves information about ResultSet rows.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is either the type of data or the name of a ResultSet.
The second parameter is the name of a metadata field, the column name, or a ResultSet row parameter.
You can also use a shorthand format that returns results identical to the getValue(arg1,arg2) function. The format uses the form <$arg1.arg2$>, where arg1 and arg2 are the literal string arguments "arg1" and "arg2" to the getValue function.
Note:
Data types (local, active, and env) and ResultSet parameters must start with the # symbol.
The following parameter combinations can be used.
| getValue and Shorthand Formats | Description |
|---|---|
|
getValue("#local",fieldName) <$#local.fieldName$> |
Retrieves the value of the specified metadata field from the local data. |
|
getValue("#active",fieldName) <$#active.fieldName$> |
Attempts to retrieve the value of the specified metadata field from the data in the following order:

|
getValue("#env",fieldName) <$#env.fieldName$> |
Retrieves the value of the specified metadata field from the environment settings. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,fieldName) <$ResultSetName.fieldName$> |
Retrieves the value of the specified metadata field from the current row of the specified ResultSet. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,columnName) <$ResultSetName.columnName$> |
Retrieves the value of the specified column from the current row of the specified ResultSet. |

Retrieves the value of the specified column from the current row of the current ResultSet. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,"#row") <$ResultSetName.#row$> |
Retrieves the number of the current row in the specified ResultSet. The first row is 0. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,"#numRows") <$ResultSetName.#numRows$> |
Retrieves the total number of rows in the specified ResultSet. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,"#isRowPresent") <$ResultSetName.#isRowPresent$> |
Checks if at least one row is present in the specified ResultSet. This is useful when looping manually with rsNext. |
|
getValue(ResultSetName,"#isEmpty") <$ResultSetName.#isEmpty$> |
Checks if the specified ResultSet does not contain any rows. |
For output values, see the preceding subsection, Variations.
Returns an empty string if a value is not found.
Gets the Content ID from the ResultSet named DOC_INFO:
<$name = getValue("DOC_INFO","dDocName")$>
or
<$name = <$DOC_INFO.dDocName$>
Checks to see if the passed parameter dDocType (which is in the local data) equals the value in the active ResultSet:
<$loop DocTypes$>
<$if strEquals(#active.dDocType, getValue("#local","dDocType"))$>
<!--do special HTML for selected document type-->
<$endif$>
<!-- additional statement-->
<$endloop$>
Retrieves the value of a user attribute for a specific user. This function can be useful for defining extended workflow functionality.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the user name.
The second parameter is the name of a column in the Users database table that specifies a user attribute (such as dFullName, dUserType, or dEmail).
Returns the value of the user attribute for the specified user.
Returns an empty string if the value is not found.
Retrieves the full name for mjones.
<$getValueForSpecifiedUser('mjones', 'dFullName')$>
Returns the display value for an item in a Schema option list.
For example, assume an option list exists for a custom metadata field named Customer. In the database there is a schema table with the CustomerName and a unique CustomerID. On checkin the CustomerName is visible to the user but the CustomerID is what is stored in the database. The getFieldViewDisplayValue function extracts the human-readable CustomerName based on the CustomerID.
This function takes three parameters:
The name of the schema view used for the current field.
The value stored in the database for the ID.
The column name associated with the view.
Returns the display value.
<$custName = getViewValue("Customer_View", "1234", "CustomerName")$>
<$custRegion = getViewValue("Customer_View", "1234", "CustomerRegion")$>
This function loads a schema table and places it on the page as a ResultSet named SchemaData. The column names in the ResultSet are the same as the names in the database table.
This function is most useful to obtain a list of dependent choices based on a parent value.
Takes three parameters:
The name of the schema view used.
The relation for the schema and the view.
The value for the schema parent.
Assume you have a schema table and view for a list of countries. The view is named Country_view.
To output the contents of that table to the page, use the following code.
<$getViewValuesResultSet("Country_View", "", "")$>
<$loop SchemaData$>
<$count = 0, num = rsNumFields("SchemaData")$>
<$loopwhile count < num$>
<$fieldName=rsFieldByIndex("SchemaData", count)$>
<$fieldName$> = <$getValue("SchemaData", fieldName)$>
<$count = count + 1$>
<$endloop$>
<$endloop$>
This will output the table even if you do not know the column name.
In the following example, assume you have a DCL for the fields Country and State. The list of States depends on which Country is selected. To obtain the list of States when the Country is USA, use this code:
<$getViewValuesResultSet("State_View", "Country_State", "USA")$>

<!--statement-->
Specifies values for the web server plug-in to get from its local data and send in the header of its requests.
For example, if you have a plug-in to the web server filter getting some attributes for a user and placing them into a local value, you could specify the name of the attributes in IdcAuthExtraRequestParams, and the data would be passed to the Content Server instance.
This setting can also be used to access extra HTTP header values using Idoc Script. These variables will become part of the Data Binder environment variable set.
The names in the IdcAuthExtraRequestParams list must match the header names without regard for case (case insensitive match).
When used as Idoc Script variables, the names in the IdcAuthExtraRequestParams must match exactly (case sensitive match).
There is no default value.
For information about IdcCommand, see Chapter 27, "Using the IdcCommand Utility to Access Content Server."
Configuration variables, described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Reference for Oracle WebCenter Content
IntradocDir/config/config.cfg
The following setting tells the IIS web server plug-in to send the local value of HTTP_REFERER in the header (IIS automatically adds the HTTP_ prefix):
IdcAuthExtraRequestParams=referer
This function tests to find out if a dynamichtml resource exists.
This function has one parameter: includeName is the name of the dynamichtml resource.
If the resource exists, then it returns TRUE.
<$if idocTestForInclude("std_page_begin")$> <$include std_page_begin$><$endif$>
Adds the code from an include resource to the page.
This function does the same thing as the include keyword, except that it can take an Idoc Script variable as the parameter. For more information, see Section 3.4.1, "Keywords Versus Functions."
The only parameter is a variable that defines the name of an include.
Displays the code that is defined in the specified include resource.
Say you wanted to execute some Idoc Script for some, but not all, of your custom metadata fields. You could dynamically create includes based on the field names (such as specific_include_xComments) by executing this Idoc Script:
<$loop DocMetaDefinition$>
<$myInclude = "specific_include_" & dName$>
<$exec inc(myInclude)$>
<$endloop$>
Note the use of the exec keyword, which suppresses the output of the include specified by the inc function. If you don't use exec before the inc function, the HTML inside the specified include will be displayed on the page.
Note that if the specific_include_xComments does not exist, this code will not throw an error because the output is not being displayed.
Returns the results of converting the LatestReleased revision of a document using the template and layout associated with a particular Dynamic Converter conversion rule.
Fragments created through forced conversions can be referenced directly using this function.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the Content ID of a document.
The second parameter is the name of a conversion rule.
Retrieves the specified document converted according to the template and layout defined for the specified conversion rule.
Retrieves the converted rendition of the content item with a Content ID of PhoneList, converted according to conversion rule RuleA:
<$incDynamicConversionByRule("PhoneList","RuleA")$>
Includes the entire contents of a text file in the display of the current page.
This function is used to generate the default portal page.
A global include file is a text file that contains HTML code, Idoc Script code, or both. It is loaded on server startup.
Global include files must have the .inc extension and must be located in the DomainHome/ucm/cs/data/pages/ directory.
The only parameter is the name of a global include file without the .inc file extension.
Displays the code that is defined in the specified global include file.
When you change the portal page using the Update Portal function in the Web Layout Editor, a global include file called portal_message.inc is created to contain your modified text. This file is then referenced in the pne_home_page.htm template file as follows:
<$incGlobal("portal_message")$>
Adds the code from an include resource (defined by <@dynamichtml include_name@>) to the page.
This keyword is the most commonly used command in Idoc Script, as it allows you to reuse small chunks of code on multiple template pages.
For more information, see Section 3.3.1, "Includes."
The only parameter is the name of the include.
Displays the code that is defined in the specified include resource.
The following includes are used to create the beginning and end of most Content Server web pages. These includes are defined in the following file:
IdcHomeDir/resources/core/standard_page.htm
<$include std_html_head_declarations$>
<$include body_def$>
<$include std_page_begin$>
Hello World!
<$include std_page_end$>
Adds the contents of a Content Server template to a page, after evaluating any Idoc Script.
You can use this function to include the content of an entire template. However, this usage is discouraged because resource includes are usually sufficiently flexible to support all requirements for the sharing of Idoc Script between pages.
The only parameter is the name of a Content Server template file without the .htm file extension.
Displays the code that is defined in the specified template.
Retrieves the new_look template file.
<$incTemplate("new_look")$>
This function modifies the logic of the search indexer. This function is designed to allow calculation of cumulative statistics about the index collection.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the flag used.
The second parameter is the value attributed to the flag.
Any name and value can be used. These values become available the next time the resource include is executed for the index collection.
Defines a description for the instance.
The instance description is used in the Content Server interface.

As a configuration setting:
IsOverrideFormat=true
As Idoc Script, returns the value of the override format function:
<$IsOverrideFormat$>
Enables a trace of all includes and calls to the Idoc Script eval function.
The contents of the eval function and any dynamically assigned includes are also shown as part of the trace. The trace is indented by one + character per nested level of include or eval call. The trace also shows any error messages (without the nested location information) and the output of any calls to the Idoc Script trace function.
Note:
This setting is not supported in Internet Explorer version 6.
Results of the trace can be viewed through the debug menu toolbar options, which are accessed from the debug trace displayed at the bottom of the web page.
Click the debug trace to display the debug menu toolbar, then click any of the following options.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
|
hide all |
Hides any open debug popups. |
|
idocscript trace |
Displays a tree structure view of all includes being called. |
|
request binder |
Displays information on Local Data and ResultSets. The request binder is the DataBinder sent to the server, that is, the service name and any service-specific parameters. Click a heading to expand the view of detailed information. |
|
response binder |
Displays information on Local Data and ResultSets. The response binder is the DataBinder immediately after the service is processed but before the response page is generated. Click a heading to expand the view of detailed information. |
|
final page binder |
Displays information on Local Data and ResultSets. The final page binder reflects what was changed in the DataBinder while the page was being generated. Click a heading to expand the view of detailed information. |
|
javascript log |
Displays Logger Console window with default setting of Verbose. Select checkboxes to display the following options: info, warn, error, time, window, trace, global, schema, javascript, LogReader. Click Pause or Clear to control the speed and amount of information displayed on the Logger Console. |
If you are interested in API-level interaction with Content Server, consult the request and response binders. For example, when you do a SOAP request or use other service-based APIs, the information in the final page binder is meaningless. When you append IsJava=1 to the request, the response binder in HDA format is returned.
If you are interested in customization, page generation, and so on, you may want to consult the final page binder and, in some cases, determine how it differs from the response binder.
Used as a configuration setting in the Content Server config.cfg file, so it applies to the entire server:
IsPageDebug=1
In a web browser, added to the end of the page's URL in the Address field:
&IsPageDebug=1
Used on a template page or in an Idoc Script include:
<$IsPageDebug=1$>

The only parameter is an expression to be parsed.
Returns a Java date object, which is converted to a string for display.
<$parseDataEntryDate$>
Parses a date/time to allow evaluation and arithmetic.
Dates convert to milliseconds when used with standard comparison operators. For example, the expression (60*60*1000) equals one hour.
A common usage of this function is to adjust the current time using a multiplication expression that represents a number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
The only parameter is an expression to be parsed.
Returns a Java date object, which is converted to a string for display.

Returns the time one hour in the future. The first line adds one hour using a time multiplication expression, assigns that time and date to a custom variable, and suppresses the output. The second line references the custom variable and defines that only the time is displayed:
<$exec my_customParseTime parseDate(dateCurrent()+(1000*60*60))$> <$formatTimeOnly(my_customParseTime)$>
Returns the date one year in the future. The first line adds one year using a time multiplication expression, assigns that time and date to a custom variable, and suppresses the output. The second line references the custom variable and defines that only the date in long format is displayed:
<$exec my_customParseTime parseDate(dateCurrent()+(1000*60*60*24*365))$> <$formatTimeOnly(my_customParseTime)$>
This script evaluates whether the date seven days in the future is greater than the expiration date and returns a message to the user if true:
<$if dOutDate$>
<$if dateCurrent(7) > parseDate(dOutDate)$>
Content item expires in one week.
<$endif$>
<$endif$>
This script uses parseDate within a conditional statement for customized workflow jumps. The script specifies that if the last time we entered this step was four days ago, go to the first step in workflow wf_late and set the return step to be the next step:
<$if parseDate(wfCurrentGet("lastEntryTs")) < dateCurrent(-4)$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpName", "lateJump")$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep", "step_1@wf_late")$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpReturnStep", wfCurrentStep(1))$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpEntryNotifyOff", "0")$>
<$endif$>
Parses a date/time to a specified date/time pattern.
Dates convert to milliseconds when used with standard comparison operators. For example, the expression (60*60*1000) equals one hour.
A common usage of this function is to adjust the current time using a multiplication expression that represents a number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is a date string used by the Content Server instance, or a date object created with the parseDate or dateCurrent function.
The second parameter is the date/time pattern, which is a standard Java SimpleDateFormat pattern string, such as MM/dd/yyyy.
Returns a Java date object, which is converted to a string for display.
Displays the current date and time in the format specified by the pattern (for example, Wed, 4 Jul 2001 12:08:56 -0700):
<$parseDateWithPattern(<$dateCurrent()$>,"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z")$>
This setting is obsolete. The web server filter no longer sends this information.

Searches a string for a specific pattern using a regular expression to do matching. Regular expression constructs can contain characters, character classes, and other classes and quantifiers. For details about the Java API for Class Pattern, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html.
This feature is only available with JVM 1.4 or later versions; this is the default version for WebCenter Content version 7.0 and later.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the string to match.
The second parameter is the expression.
The following example returns FALSE, because the string does not match the expression:
<$regexMatches("abcdef","abc")$>
The following example returns TRUE because the wild cards are present. If standard wild cards such as the asterisk (*) were used instead of the dot-asterisk (.*) convention, the match would fail.
<$regexMatches("abcdef", ".*abc.*")$>
Searches a string for a specific pattern using a regular expression to do matching and replacing. Regular expression constructs can contain characters, character classes, and other classes and quantifiers. For details about the Java API for Class Pattern, see s://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html.
This feature is only available with JVM 1.4 or later versions; this is the default version for WebCenter Content version 7.0 and later.
It replaces all instances of the regular expression with the replacement string.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the original string.
The second parameter is the string to match.
The third parameter is the replacement string.
The following example returns xyzdef xyzdef:
<$regexReplaceAll("abcdef abcdef","abc","xyz")$>
Searches a string for a specific pattern using a regular expression to do matching and replaces the first instance with a replacement string. Regular expression constructs can contain characters, character classes, and other classes and quantifiers. For details about the Java API for Class Pattern, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html.
This feature is only available with JVM 1.4 or later versions; this is the default version for WebCenter Content version 7.0 and later.

<!--statement-->
Specifies the error message to be displayed if a required metadata field does not have a value upon checkin.
Returns the error message as a string.
Defines the required field error message for the dDocTitle metadata field as the wwSpecifyTitle localized string:
<$fieldName = "dDocTitle", fieldCaption = lc("wwTitle"), isRequired = 1, fieldType = "BigText", requiredMsg = lc("wwSpecifyTitle")$>
Defines a title for the search results page.
This variable is used by the Web Layout Editor to name the search results page and display a heading at the top of that page.
Returns the page title as a string.
As an HDA entry, names the search results page:
@Properties LocalData ResultsTitle=Content Items @end
As a script, returns the defined name:
<$if ResultsTitle$>ResultsTitle=<$url(ResultsTitle)$>
This function is meant for internal use only.
This function returns a localized string representation of an internal key code. These key codes are used to store status and state flags for content items. This function is used on the Content Information page and workflow pages to display descriptions of the internal state.
Takes two parameters:
The name of the table where the keys are stored.
The key to be localized.
This function returns a ResultSet given the name of the ResultSet. Because the actual object it returns is a ResultSet, certain actions can be performed on the return value that cannot be performed on the return values of other functions. In particular, the loop syntax can be applied to the result.
This function has one parameter, resultSetName, which is the name of the ResultSet to return.
A ResultSet object if found, otherwise null.
Suppose MyResultSet is the name of a ResultSet, then you could loop on the ResultSet using the following syntax:
<$loop rs("MyResultSet")$>... Script inside loop ...<$endloop$>
This function also can be used when temporarily assigning variables when calling Idoc Script functions. In particular, the following example will temporarily assign the variable rsParam to point to the same ResultSet as pointed to by MyResultSet for the duration of the call to include the resource include my_include. If the result of the rs function is assigned to a variable, then that variable will have a shared pointer to the ResultSet creating the same effect as if rsCreateReference were called.
<$inc("my_include", rsParam=rs("MyResultSet"))$>
Adds new fields to a ResultSet. This function will only add the field if it is not already present. Note that setValue(...) can also add new fields but it only works on ResultSets that are nonempty and are on a currently valid row.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the ResultSet to get new fields (columns) added.
The second parameter is a comma separated list of fields to add.(the column names to be added).
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsAddFields(rsName, fieldsList)$>
This function adds new fields to an existing ResultSet. Unlike rsAddFields, this function provides the ability to specify default values for any fields that are added. Note that rsAddFieldsWithDefaults never over-writes any data in fields that already exist; it only adds new fields to a ResultSet.
The following table lists parameters for the function.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The name of the ResultSet. |
|
|
A comma-separated list of fields to append to the ResultSet. Any specified fields that already exist in the ResultSet are ignored. |
|
|
An optional comma-separated list of default values that are set for the new fields in each row. Each value in this list corresponds to the new field in the same spot of the list newFields. If you need to set a default value with a comma in it, you can use '^' as a comma. If the defaultValues list is longer or shorter than newFields list, then the function ignores the extra default values or uses the empty string for unspecified default values, respectively. |
Nothing.
<$rsCreateResultSet("MyList", "field1,field2,field3")$><$rsAppendRowValues("MyList", "A,B,C,D,E,F")$><$rsAddFieldsWithDefaults("MyList", "field4,field5,field6")$>
In this basic example, we create a ResultSet named MyList, fill it with some values, then add three more fields to MyList, without setting default values. The resulting table will look like the following:
| field1 | field2 | field3 | field4 | field5 | field6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A |
B |
C |
|||
|
D |
E |
F |
<$rsCreateResultSet("MyList", "field1,field2,field3")$><$rsAppendRowValues("MyList", "A,B,C,D,E,F")$><$rsAddFieldsWithDefaults("MyList", "field4,field5,field6", "X,Y,Z")$>
Here we define default values for the new fields. The resulting table will look like the following:
| field1 | field2 | field3 | field4 | field5 | field6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A |
B |
C |
X |
Y |
Z |
|
D |
E |
F |
X |
Y |
Z |
<$rsCreateResultSet("MyList", "field1,field2,field3")$><$rsAppendRowValues("MyList", "A,B,C,D,E,F")$><$rsAddFieldsWithDefaults("MyList", "field1,field4,field5", "X,Y,Z")$>
In this case, we try and add a field that already exists in MyList. This action is completely ignored, and old field values are preserved. The resulting table will look like the following:
| field1 | field2 | field3 | field4 | field5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A |
B |
C |
X |
Y |
|
D |
E |
F |
X |
Y |
Fewer default values specified
<$rsCreateResultSet("MyList", "field1,field2,field3")$><$rsAppendRowValues("MyList", "A,B,C,D,E,F")$><$rsAddFieldsWithDefaults("MyList", "field4,field5,field6", "X,Y")$>
Notice in this example how there are not enough default values in the default value list for all fields. In this case, it just fills in blanks for the unspecified column.
| field1 | field2 | field3 | field4 | field5 | field6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A |
B |
C |
X |
Y |
|
|
D |
E |
F |
X |
Y |
This function adds a new field whose value for each row is the row count for that row. The count starts at 0. This function is useful to use just before using rsSort(...) on XML data island ResultSets (inside .hcsp files) so that the original row location can be preserved.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of ResultSet to be modified so that it has an new row count column.
The second parameter is the name of the field that will hold the row count.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsAddRowCountColumn(rsName, countFieldName)$>
This function is similar in nature to rsMerge, except there are no merge test criteria. All rows from the ResultSet rsNameSource are appended to the ResultSet rsNameTarget. In addition, all fields in rsNameSource not in rsNameTarget will be added to rsNameTarget. Useful for doing a simple combining of ResultSets.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the ResultSet that will be modified by the merge.
The second parameter is the ResultSet containing the rows that will be appended to the target.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsAppend("targetRsetName", "sourceRsetName")$>
Appends a new row to the end of the ResultSet. The current row is not affected.
The only parameter is the name of the ResultSet to receive the new row.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails or the ResultSet is empty.
<$rsAppendNewRow("SearchResults")$>
A utility function for adding new rows to a ResultSet. The values list is a comma-delimited list of values (using the escape rule of ',' -> '^', '^' -> '#^', '#' -> '##' to encode each value) split up into rows. Assume nfields is the number of fields in the ResultSet. The values list is split up into rows by counting nfields values to create a new row and then taking the next nfields values to create each following row and so on. If the number of values is not an exact multiple of nfields then the last row has its fields values padded out with empty strings. This function is useful for compactly hard coding ResultSets using Idoc Script.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameters the name of the ResultSet that is to get new rows.
The second parameter is the new values to add.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rowValues = "a1, b1, a2, b2"$>
<$rsCreateResultSet("ResultSet1", "ColumnA,ColumnB")$>
<$rsAppendRowValues("ResultSet1", rowValues$>
<table border=2>
<tr><td>ColumnA</td><td>ColumnB</td></tr>
<$loop ResultSet1$>
<tr><td><$ColumnA$></td><td><$ColumnB$></td>
</tr>
<$endloop$>
</table>
The resulting HTML would look like the following.
| Column A | Column B |
|---|---|
|
Column A |
Column B |
|
A1 |
B1 |

A2 |
B2 |
This function copies only selected rows from one ResultSet to create another ResultSet. Any prior ResultSet with name rsNameTarget will be replaced. The rows are selected by testing each row's value of filterField using a test against the pattern in filterPattern. The pattern match is the same as used in the Idoc Script like operator.
Takes four parameters:
The first parameter is the ResultSet that is providing the rows to copy.
The second parameter is the new ResultSet created by the copy.
The third parameter is the name of the field being tested.
The fourth parameter is the pattern match to apply to see if the row should be copied.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.

Merges the rows of one ResultSet into another. If the value from the rsNameSource ResultSet in the rsCommonField field matches the value for the same field in a row for rsNameTarget, then that row will be replaced. Otherwise, the row from rsNameSource will be appended. If there are multiple rows in rsNameTarget that are matched by the same value, then only the first row is replaced and it is replaced by the last row in rsNameSource that has a matching row. Any fields in the ResultSet rsNameSource that are not in rsNameTarget are added as new fields to rsNameTarget. This function is best performed on ResultSets that have only unique values in the rsCommonField field so that issues with multiple matches are avoided.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter (rsNameTarget) is the ResultSet that will be modified by the merge.
The second parameter (rsNameSource) is the ResultSet containing the rows that will be merged into the target.
The third parameter (rsCommonField) is the field that occurs in both results sets that will be used as the basis of the merge.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsMerge(rsNameTarget, rsNameSource, commonField$>
Analogous to rsMergeReplaceOnly, except matching rows in the ResultSet rsNameTarget are removed instead of replaced. It is useful for removing rows from one ResultSet that already occur in another.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter (rsNameTarget) is the ResultSet that will be modified by the merge.
The second parameter (rsNameSource) is the ResultSet containing the rows that will be merged into the target.
The third parameter (rsCommonField) is the field that occurs in both results sets that will be used as the test for which rows to remove from rsNameTarget.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsMergeDelete(rsNameTarget, rsNameSource, rsCommonField)$>
Similar to rsMerge, but rows are only replaced; none are appended to the ResultSet rsNameTarget. In addition, new fields from rsNameSource are not added to rsNameTarget.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter (rsNameTarget) is the ResultSet that will be modified by the merge.
The second parameter (rsNameSource) is the ResultSet containing the rows that will be merged into the target.
The third parameter (rsCommonField) is the field that occurs in both results sets that will be used as the basis of the merge
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$rsMergeReplaceOnly(rsNameTarget, rsNameSource, rsCommonField) $>
Moves to the next row in a ResultSet.
The only parameter is the name of a ResultSet.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails or the ResultSet is empty.
Advances the SearchResults ResultSet to the next row:
<$exec rsNext("SearchResults")$>
Provides a count of the number of fields in a ResultSet. This is useful when combined with rsFieldByIndex.
Takes one parameter, the name of the ResultSet.
Returns the number of fields.
<$numFields = rsNumFields("resultSet1")$>
Provides a count of the number of rows in a ResultSet.
Takes one parameter, the name of the ResultSet.
Returns the number of rows.
<$numRows = rsNumRows("resultSet1")$>
Removes a ResultSet.
Takes one parameter, the name of the ResultSet.
<$rsRemove("resultSet1")$>
Renames a ResultSet.
If you use a variable to define the new ResultSet name, you will need to loop over the new ResultSet variable manually using rsFirst, rsNext, and #isRowPresent. For example:
<$rsNewName="MySearchResults"$>
<$rsRename("SearchResults", rsNewName)$>
<$rsFirst(rsNewName)$>
<$loopwhile getValue(rsNewName, "#isRowPresent")$>
<!--output code-->
<$rsNext(rsNewName)$>
<$endloop$>
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of an existing ResultSet.
The second parameter is the new ResultSet name. The call will fail if the ResultSet already exists.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
Renames the SearchResults ResultSet to MySearchResults:
<$rsRename("SearchResults", "MySearchResults")$>
Renames a field in the ResultSet.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the ResultSet whose field is being renamed.
The second parameter is the current name of the field.
The third parameter is the new name of the field.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
Renames the invoice field to outlays in the warehouse ResultSet.

Sets a cookie value in a browser.
Used to retain session information or information about anonymous users.
An expiration date can also be passed to make the cookie expire at a specified time.
Important:
Do not store secure data in a cookie. You should limit the use of cookies due to the risk of malicious users setting cookies on your site.
This function can take three parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the cookie.
The second parameter is the value to be set.
The third optional parameter is an expiration indicator specifying when the cookie will expire.
The following example sets the cookie myCounter in the user's browser and increments the value when the user visits the page. The cookie will expire in one day.
<$myCounter=getCookie("myCounter")$>
<$if not myCounter$>
<$myCounter=1$>
<$endif$>
Num times loaded: <$myCounter$>
<$setCookie("myCounter", myCounter+1, dateCurrent(1))$>
This function can be used to set an absolute time for an expiration of a page. This is best used for pages with a long life that may be requested frequently. Due to problems in time synchronization between the client and the server, it is not totally reliable, especially for short-lived caches. The data must follow one of the acceptable HTTP date formats.
Refer to the W3 Protocols for more information:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3
The only parameter is an absolute date, formatted in the manner HTTP requires, after which this page should be refreshed
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
This will cause the page to expire at the given absolute time. Note that all time stamps must be in the GMT time zone.
<$setExpires("Sat, 02 Aug 2003 24:00:00 GMT")$>
This is a way to use other Idoc Script functions to set the expiration date to 14 days from the current date.
<$date=formatDateWithPattern(dateCurrent(14), "EEE, dd MMM yyyy")$> <$setExpires(date & " 24:00:00 GMT"))$> >
This function can be used to set any HTTP header. Values include, but are not limited to, Cache-Control, Content-Type, Last-Modified, or any of the other acceptable HTTP headers.
Refer to the W3 Protocols for more information:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3
Takes two parameters. For example:
setHttpHeader(headerName, headerValue)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
headerName |
The name of a valid HTTP header. |
|
headerValue |
The value for the header. |
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
This sets the content-type to XML, to enable your browser to render it with the passed XSLT.
<$setHttpHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")$>
This function can be used to set an absolute time for an expiration of a page. This is best used for pages with a long life that may be requested frequently. Due to problems in time synchronization between the client and the server, it is not totally reliable, especially for short-lived caches. The data must follow one of the acceptable HTTP date formats.
Refer to the W3 Protocols for more information:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3
The only parameter is the lifetime of this page in seconds.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
This will expire the content of the page immediately:
<$setMaxAge(0)$>
This will set the cache lifetime for this page to 10 minutes, and tell the browser that it absolutely must try to refresh the page after that time is up:
<$setMaxAge(600)$>
<$setHttpHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate")$>
Defines an include.
This function allows dynamically constructed script to be assigned to an include (much as the eval function enables such script to be parsed and evaluated).
If the specified include already exists, the super keyword can be used in the new script to refer to the existing include.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the include.
The second parameter is a string that defines the contents of the include. This string can contain Idoc Script.
Returns 0 if the include could not be parsed, 1 if it can be parsed.
Use exec to suppress this behavior.
Uses the string "My name is resource include" to dynamically construct script:
<$setResourceInclude("my_name","My name is <$my_name$>")$>
Uses the super keyword to modify the std_display_field include:
<$myInclude="<span class='field'><$include super.std_display_field$></span>"
<$setResourceInclude("std_display_field",myInclude)$>
The following example suppresses the returned result:
<$exec setResourceInclude("std_display_field",myInclude)$>
The target can either be #local or the name of a ResultSet. If the target is #local, then the parameter name identifies the name of a local data variable whose value is to be set by the parameter value. If the target area is nonempty and is not #local, then a field in a ResultSet named by the parameter target is being set. If the ResultSet exists and is currently on a valid current row, then that particular column's value (column named by the parameter name) on that row will be set with the value in the parameter value. If the field is currently not a part of that ResultSet, then the field will be added as a new column to the ResultSet and the value will be set. If the target ResultSet is not on a valid row, then this function will have no effect (but an internal exception will be reported on the server output). Note that this function should be contrasted with getValue.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the target area to be set (either #local or the name of a ResultSet)
The second parameter is the name of key that holds the value to be set (either a local variable or a ResultSet field)
The third parameter is the value to be set.
Returns TRUE if the function is successful.
Returns FALSE if the function fails.
<$setValue(target, name, value)$>
Evaluates if the current revision is in a contributor step of a Basic workflow.

This variable returns the same value as ref:dID. For more information, see Section 3.6.4, "Metadata References in Dynamic Server Pages."
Returns the Content ID as a string.
Sets the dID variable to the value of the current HCSF page:
<input type=hidden name="dID" value="<$SourceID$>">
Indicates if the last function call was successful or failed. This variable is set at the end of a service call.
Certain functions set this variable to zero (0) upon success.
Certain functions set this variable to a negative numeric value (-1) upon failure. Typically, the abortToErrorPage function is called to display an error page with the StatusMessage value from the most recent function call.
Returns 0 if the last function call was successful.
Returns -1 if the last function call failed.
Returns the current status code:
<$StatusCode$>
Defines the error message for the last function call. This variable is set at the end of a service call, but it can be set during a service call.
This variable is typically displayed on an error page when the abortToErrorPage function is called.
Returns OK if the last function call was successful.
Returns a localized error message if the last function call failed.
Returns the current status message:
<$StatusMessage$>
Checks if the current user has access to the requested content item based on the standard security model.
The active data is checked to determine if the standard (or default) security model allows the user to have access to the content item. This enables a custom implementation of security to still execute the standard security model as a baseline.
None.
Returns TRUE if the current user has access to the content item.
Returns FALSE if the current user does not have access to the content item.
Compares the permission level of the user to the requested content item:
<$stdSecurityCheck()$>

<$wfCurrentStep(0)$>
Returns the previous step name:
<$wfCurrentStep(-1)$>
Returns the next step name:
<$wfCurrentStep(1)$>
To actually move to the next step you must set up a jump, as in this example:
<$wfSet("wfJumpName", "move to next step")$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep", wfCurrentStep(1))$>
<$wfSet("wfJumpEntryNotifyOff", "0")$>
Retrieves the exit condition for a workflow step.
Takes three parameters:
The first parameter is the workflow name.
The second parameter is the step name.
The third parameter is the exit condition to be displayed.
Returns the exit condition expression.
The following code in the IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/workflow_info.htm template page is used to display the exit condition on the Workflow Step Information page:
<$wfDisplayCondition(dWfName, currentStepName, "wfAdditionalExitCondition")$>
where:
dWfName is the internal variable for the workflow name.
currentStepName is set earlier in the template page to be equal to dWfName, which is the internal variable for the step name.
wfAdditionalExitCondition is the internal variable for the exit condition expression. Typical exit condition output would look like:
dSecurityGroup like "Secure"
Exits a workflow step. This function moves the revision to a particular step in a workflow according to the function parameters and resets the parent list information. To completely exit a workflow, use wfExit(100,100) or any parameters that ensure that the revision returns to the parent workflow and then gets moved past the last step in that workflow.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter indicates the number of jumps to rewind.
The second parameter indicates the target step relative to the step determined by the first parameter.
Exits to the parent step in the workflow:
<$wfExit(0,0)$>
Returns to the previous jump step:
<$wfExit(1,0)$>
Returns to the previous jump step and moves to the next step in that workflow:
<$wfExit(1,1)$>
Retrieves a state value from the companion file.
The only parameter is the state key.
Returns the state value from the companion file.
Returns the current jump name:
<$wfGet("wfJumpName")$>
This function takes an internal workflow step type value and turns it into a human-readable label. For example, :C:CA:CE: is the three states :C: (contribution), :CA: (autocontribute or original author step) and :CE: (Edit revision). After application of the Idoc Script function, the label might become "Auto Contributor, Edit Revision".
Here are the possible current states.
| States | Description |
|---|---|
|
:CA: |
Auto contribution step or step that occurs before all administrator defined workflow steps ("original author handles document rejection"). |
|
:CE: |
Edit current revision. All edits replace current revision. |
|
:CN: |
Create new revision. All edit create new revision. |
|
:R: |
Review. Document can be approved or rejected. |
|
:C: |
Contribution. The document can be edited. |
A workflow document step state has all the states that are true for it combined as a single fields with multiple values separated by colons (:) (redundant colons are eliminated). So a contributor/reviewer step that creates new revisions would have the state :R:C:CE:. Order does not matter. But :C: must be present even though it can be presumed by the presence of :CE: (:CE: also implies that the step is a contributor step). The value :C: accurately describes one capability of the current workflow step and the Content Server system does not chase implication rules (:CE: -> :C:) so the Content Server system will see the absence of :C: (even with :CE: present) as a statement that the workflow step does not allow core contributor types of activities (such as checkout or undo checkout).
The only parameter is the internal workflow step type value.
<$wfGetStepTypeLabel(stepType)$>
Indicates if the document will not be in GENWWW after the current action finishes.
If this Idoc Script function returns true, the conversion process has finished and the content item is no longer in GENWWW.
Returns TRUE if the document has finished conversion.
Returns FALSE if the content item is still in GENWWW and has not finished conversion.
<$wfIsFinishedDocConversion()$>
Returns TRUE if this workflow is currently suppressing all workflow notifications for this particular workflow event. Suppression includes notification into both the workflow in queue and e-mail until either the current action is ended or the wfSetSuppressNotification function is used to re-enable notification.
Suppression of notifications is temporary. If notification is enabled or allowed to remain on for a later workflow action, all notifications that were not sent out for the current step are then sent out and workflows in queues are appropriated updated.
Returns TRUE if notifications are suppressed.
Returns FALSE if notifications are not suppressed.
<$wfIsNotificationSuppressed()$>
Indicates if the document is released as far as the workflow is concerned. The document may be still in GENWW or DONE, but if this Idoc Script function returns true, then the workflow is not preventing the release of the document. If it returns false, then the document will not be released until the workflow allows it to be released. This Idoc Script function takes no parameters. It evaluates the active release state value for any document info that may be present (in Idoc Script terms it checks if #active.dReleaseState is not the value E).
Returns TRUE if the document is available to be released.
Returns FALSE if the content item is not available to be released. For example, the content item has not completed the check in and/or conversion process.
<$wfIsReleasable()$>
Turns the jump entry notification on and off.
If this variable is TRUE, reviewers will not be notified when the jump is entered.
If this variable is FALSE, reviewers will be notified when the jump is entered.
Returns TRUE or FALSE.
The following code sets the step entry notification to 0, which means that reviewers will be notified upon jump entry:
<$wfSet("wfJumpEntryNotifyOff","0")$>
Defines a message that will be included in the notification e-mail that is sent to users when a jump is entered.
If no message is specified, the e-mail message will include only the information in the e-mail template.
The jump message can include Idoc Script, which must be executed using the eval function. For example:
<$eval(dDocName)$> is ready for your review.
Returns the message as a string.
The following code includes the message This is the message text in the e-mail message that notifies users upon jump entry:
<$wfSet("wfJumpMessage","This is the message text")$>
Retrieves the name of the current jump.
Returns the jump name as a string.
The following code sets the name of the current jump to MyJump:
<$wfSet("wfJumpName","MyJump")$>
Retrieves the name of the step in the parent workflow that the revision returns to upon exiting a workflow after the current jump.
The return step applies only if the revision properly completes the last step in the workflow that was jumped to and exits the workflow normally. Consequently, the return step is not applied when the revision jumps to another workflow.
In the companion file, the return step is stored in the local key:
<step_name>@<workflow_name>.returnStep
Returns the step name as a string.
The following code sets the return step to be the next step in the parent workflow:
<$wfSet("wfJumpReturnStep",wfCurrentStep(1))$>
Retrieves the name of the step the revision will jump to if the condition is met.
The target step can be referred to symbolically (such as wfCurrentStep(1)) or explicitly (such as MyStep@MyWorkflow). It is strongly recommended that you use symbolic references in step event scripts. They make the script easier to modify and reuse.
Returns the step name as a string.
The following code sets the target step explicitly. When the jump criteria is met, the revision jumps to a step named step_1 in the Marketing workflow:
<$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep","step_1@Marketing")$>
The following code sets the target step symbolically. When the jump criteria is met, the revision jumps to the first step in the current workflow:
<$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep",WfStart)$>
This function is used to obtain information about the existing steps in a workflow or about exit conditions in a workflow.
This function loads the IntradocDir/data/workflow/design/workflowname.hda file and returns a ResultSet containing design information for a workflow. The workflowname value corresponds to the value for the dWfName variable, usually available on workflow pages, email templates, and jump scripts.
Takes one parameter, the name of the workflow.
Returns the information as a ResultSet.
<$wfLoadDesign(WorkflowName)$>
Defines the subject line of a workflow e-mail notification.
If no subject line is specified, the e-mail will use the default subject for the type of notification (review, reject, or workflow started).
Idoc Script can be included in the subject string.
Returns the subject line as a string.
Notifies the original author with the subject line "Content ID has been released":
<$wfMailSubject="File <$dDocName$> has been released"$> <$wfNotify(dDocAuthor, "user")$>
Defines a message that will be included in a workflow e-mail notification.
If no message is specified, the e-mail will use the default message for the type of notification (review, reject, or workflow started).
Idoc Script can be included in the message string.
Returns the message as a string.
Notifies the original author with the message "Content ID has been released":
<$wfMessage="File <$dDocName$> has been released"$> <$wfNotify(dDocAuthor, "user")$>
Sends an e-mail message to a specified user, alias, or workflow token.
The wfMailSubject and wfMessage variables can be set to customize the notification message.
Takes two parameters and an optional third parameter:
The first parameter specifies the user name, alias, or token to be notified.
The second parameter indicates the type, either user, alias or token.
The optional third parameter specifies the name of the e-mail template to use for constructing the message. (See the IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/templates.hda file for template definitions.)
Notifies the original author:
<$wfNotify(dDocAuthor, "user")$>
Notifies all users in the myAlias alias, using the IdcHomeDir/resources/core/templates/reject_mail.htm file as a template:
<$wfNotify("myAlias", "alias", "WF_REJECT_MAIL")$>
Retrieves a list (parent list) of the workflow steps that the revision has visited. This tells the system where jumps occurred and how to unwind the steps during an error, a reject, or an exit.
This variable can be used to create conditional statements, but it should not be hard-coded or altered.
If the parent list is unwound due to an error, reject, or exit, steps are removed from the list, so the parent list may not reflect the complete step history.
The parent list is global, and is not localized with a step name.
Steps in the parent list are listed with the most recent step first. Steps are separated with a pound sign (#). An asterisk before a step name indicates that it is a jump step. For example:
Step_B@Workflow_2#*Step_A@Workflow_2#Step_1@Workflow_1
Returns the parent list as a string.
One use for the parent list is to simulate the jumps that a content item has visited when you are testing a workflow script. For example, on the Test tab or the Edit Script screen, selecting a content item and clicking Load Item's Workflow State could result in the following line:
wfParentList=step_1@Marketing#contribution@Marketing
Causes a workflow to release all outstanding document revisions for a document that are currently being locked by the workflow. Such released revisions are free to be evaluated by the indexing engine and one of the released revisions may be full-text indexed as a result.
This function can only be used in the context of the evaluation of Idoc Script for a workflow step going through a workflow event. The function will have no effect if the document has already been released by the workflow. Note that this function does not cause the document to exit workflow.
Any new revision that is created for the document will be back in a "locked" (unreleasable) state. In other words, this function releases current revisions but has no implications for any new revision that may be created. This function takes no parameters and returns no result. It acts on the current active workflow document.
<$wfReleaseDocument()$>
Sets a key with a particular value in the companion file.
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the key.
The second parameter is the value.
Sets the key wfJumpName to MyJump:
<$wfSet("wfJumpName", "MyJump")$>
Sets an internal flag indicating if workflow notification will be sent out during the current action (check in, update, resubmit, and so on).
The suppression is on both e-mail and updates to the workflow in queue. An additional use for this function is to suppress workflow notification until after a document has been converted. This prevents a document from advancing out of the auto-contributor workflow step when the document finishes a conversion.
Takes one parameter, the internal flag. If set to 1 (TRUE), notifications are suppressed. If set to 0 (FALSE), notifications are not suppressed.
<$wfSetSuppressNotification(1)$>
Sends the revision to the first step in the current workflow. Note that this variable begins with an uppercase W.
Sets the target step for a jump to restart the workflow:
<$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep",WfStart)$>
Defines a metadata value for the current content item revision in a workflow.
The wfUpdateMetaData function can be used only for updating custom metadata fields. You cannot use this function to update standard, predefined fields
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is the name of the metadata field.
The second parameter is the value of the metadata field.
Defines "This is my comment." as the value of the Comments field:
<$wfUpdateMetaData("xComments", "This is my comment.")$>
Formats a string for use in XML.
This function replaces non-alphanumeric characters with the correct XML sequence that represents the character. For example, the ampersand "&" character is replaced with the "&" sequence.
When using a double-quote character within a string, a backslash "\" must precede the double-quote to display it as a character. If the backslash is not used as an escape flag, the double-quote is interpreted as ending the string.
The only parameter is the string.
Returns a string formatted for use in a URL.
Escapes the ampersand and returns the XML formatted string, "Me & you."
<$xml("Me & you.")$>
Escapes the non-alphanumeric characters and returns the XML-formatted string, "Test the ", >, and < characters."
<$xml("Test the \", >, and < characters.")$>
