If it is working for "Get user input-Advanced", then it should work for "Get user input-simple" as well. I can not say what is wrong without going thru your project. Anyways since "Get user input-Advanced" is working for you, why don't you use the same? Why you want to use "Get user input-Simple"? You can achieve the same functionality with "Get user input-Advanced" as well. So my suggestion is instead of debugging what is wrong with "Get user input-Simple", just go ahead and use what is working for you i.e "Get user input-Advanced". ... View more

Reply to Markfly's following post Q: I mean how to set the IA variable to use the output of my java custom code. A: The custom code i posted earlier takes care of setting the IA variable named $SYSTEM_DATE$.

Here is custom code sorce. If you want a different date format or change the IA variale name, then you can modify the code accordingly. Then you have to comiple the code and build the jar again. package com.zerog.ia.customcode.action; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.*; public class SystemDate extends CustomCodeAction { public String getInstallStatusMessage() { return "Reading System Date"; } public String getUninstallStatusMessage() { return ""; } public void install(InstallerProxy ip) throws InstallException { String substituteVariables = ip.substitute("$SUBSTITUTE_VARIABLES$"); String overrideVariables = ip.substitute("$OVERRIDE_EXISTING_VARIABLES$"); if(overrideVariables.equals("")) { overrideVariables = "true"; } if(substituteVariables.equals("")) { substituteVariables = "true"; } try { Date thedate = new Date(); //Do this if the user wants to substitute IA variables if(substituteVariables.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) { // If the user wants to override variables, just set the value if(overrideVariables.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) { ip.setVariable("$SYSTEM_DATE$",ip.substitute(thedate.toString())); } // If the user does not want to override values, but the variable does not exist, set it else if(overrideVariables.equalsIgnoreCase("false") && ip.substitute("$SYSTEM_DATE$").equals("")) { ip.setVariable("$SYSTEM_DATE$",ip.substitute(thedate.toString())); } } //Do this if the user does not want to substitute IA variables else { // If the user wants to override variables, just set the value if(overrideVariables.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) { ip.setVariable("$SYSTEM_DATE$",thedate.toString()); } // If the user wants to override variables, just set the value else if(overrideVariables.equalsIgnoreCase("false") && ip.substitute("$SYSTEM_DATE$").equals("")) { ip.setVariable("$SYSTEM_DATE$", thedate.toString()); } } System.err.println("Setting $SYSTEM_DATE$ to " + thedate); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Exception caught =" + e.getMessage()); throw new NonfatalInstallException ("Exception"); } } public void uninstall(UninstallerProxy up) throws InstallException { } } ...

Hi, First your custom code must update the IA variable(name say $SYSTEM_DATE$) that you have created. (You can use the attached SystemDate.jar for that purpose.) Next add an execute custom code action, where you will select your custom code jar i.e SystemDate.jar. Now you have to add a "Modify Text file" action. In the file you will be specifying the variable $SYSTEM_DATE$ in the place where you want the system date. Now after execution of the action, the $SYSTEM_DATE$ in the file will be replaced with the value of that variable at run time. -- Regards, Masud ... View more
