Maximo

Please suggest if there is any way to retrieve Current TabName in Automation Script. There is a requirement to capture the logs whenever any User opens a Particular Tab.

Hi Pavani,

Although you can't see it in application designer front end, if you look at the WOTRACK application "Failure Reporting" tab in the XML you'll see there's a way to add an event to clicking on the tab:

<tab id="failrep" label="Failure Reporting" tabchangeevent="save">

This can be linked with an action launch point of a script by adding a signature option of the same name to the app and setting the advanced flag to "This is an action that must be invoked by user in the UI". Also need to grant the sig option to your security group too.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Pavani,

if you're in MAS Manage then you have one more option to address your requirement using UI Bean Scripting. It still uses this really neat tabchangeevent trick which @Paul Irving suggested but different way of associating automation script. 

Instead of creating an automation script+action, signature option, glue them together in the application designer and finally grant access to the desired security group(s) it's enough to create APPBEAN.<APP> automation script and define function to handle given event.

Example setup for PO application might look as follows.

PO.XML presentation

[...] <tab id="main" label="PO" type="insert" tabchangeevent="tabchanged"> [...]

APPBEAN.PO automation script

def tabchanged(ctx):
  ctx.log('### TAB CHANGED ###')

That's all it takes.

Thanks a lot Paul. Tried the suggested way by you and it helped me to accomplish my requirement.

Thanks

Hi Andrzej,

Am I right to assume that your solution works in MAS Manage, and Paul's solution would work in Maximo 7.6?

Thanks for these ideas.

Hi Gaétan,

not really. Paul's solution works both in Maximo 7.x as well as in MAS Manage.
UI Bean Scripting is however available only in MAS Manage.
