  • 1.  Issue with automation scripting

    Posted 11/19/24 07:38 AM

    This is a python script.

    In the workorder table I created a field called PAYBYCARD and it is defined in Maximo as a yes/no field

    When a workorder is saved, I need that field to be evaluated to see if it has been checked.  If it has been checked I need workorder to require 3 other fields to be filled out.

    Python script

    #PAIDBYPCARD SCRIPT

    if PAYBYPCARD == 1:

       PCARDAMOUMT=True

       PCARDHOLDER=True

       PCARDPAIDDATE=True

    When I activate the script and save a workorder with the box checked, it give me a java boolean evaluation error

    Since paybypcard is a YORN attribute, the value to check will be True or False. You can either use if PAYBYPCARD: or if PAYBYPCARD == True:

    I didn't see a way to respond to your message. Could you just try mbo.getBoolean("PAYBYPCARD") instead of the variable?

    It should be True not TRUE.

    ok, now it does not error, but it also does not require the fields to be filled in

    Review this link. You're missing _required on the variables.

    Hi Paul,

    IMHO the logic you're trying to implement does not fit Object[SAVE] launch point but should rather be implemented in form of at least Attribute[ACTION] to set related attributes (non-)required depending on current PAYBYPCARD state, preferably complemented with Attribute[INIT] to do the same as Attribute[ACTION] but at the time of record init.

    When you do it on Object[SAVE] then this is already too late so what you eventually can get is actually to enforce data validation (you will not be able to save without required attr. values) but you will never get it reflected properly on the UI.
