 Maximo 7.6.1.3 BIRT Report - Work Order Details report - Print with attachments issue

Issue - older Maximo used applets to print - I would open work order tracking - fine my 200 PM work orders for the month, click the Print with Attachments icon in the toolbar and Maximo would print all 200 work orders with attachments automatically in the background.   Now that we have updated Maximo to 7.6.1.3 IBM removed java applets and I can only print a max of about 30 work orders using the Print with Attachments icon.    I am struggling to find a solution. Anyone have a suggestion? 

I was wondering if I could make a copy of the Work Order Details report (woprint.rptdesign) and make an update to the report to always print with attachments. then I can just schedule the report to run based on my list of work orders and then print it from the output of the report.  Not sure if BIRT can do that? 

Thanks for any thoughts on this. 

The Company does not want to change their processes. so, I need to be able to print these work orders with attachments without doing them one at a time or even thirty at a time.

If BIRT does not fully meet your needs, consider an Automation Script.

Dan,

I think you first need to establish what is limiting you to 30 Work Orders.

  • This could be a limitation on the report config, in which case you can increase the limit in Report Administration.
  • This could also be an issue with certain PDF files (this is a known issue), so in this case the report job would fail if these PDFs are attached.
  • Finally, this could be a server timeout issue. Your options here are to increase the timeout (tricky) or schedule the report job to run at a future time and email you the result.
