  • 1.  Job Plan Revision Control

    Posted 01/22/20 08:50 AM
    ​Good Morning All,

    I would like to find out who in the group is using Job Plan Revision control. We are using 7.6.0.6. and investigating  switching Revision Control. (it was kept off during a transition from 7.5. to enable any bulk changes). A few questions:

    a) How do you load new draft job plans - do you have a specific loader ( i.e. MXL)?
    b) How do you amend the job plan content - via the UI? This would appear to work for small changes, however where you have large content this could be very onerous, as well as increasing the human error factor!
    c) Are there any others issues that you have discovered?

    Thanks for your time

    Best Regards

    Hi Ted, 

    The MXL is one tool to load the Job Plans.  These are normally loaded as Draft status even if you put Active.  To edit any JP you will need to make sure it's in Draft, so apart from that use the MXL to make the changes, just make sure it's the revision.

    ​Hi Craig,
    Many thanks for  the reply, we currently use MXL however the concern is that it leaves no footprint.
    Can an Active JP be put back into Draft even if work records are associated with it?
    I understood that once a JP has been made Active, to edit it has to go to 'PNDREV', is that correct?
    So the revision you would create in MXL as Draft, and increment the Revision Number by 1 (i.e. from 0 to 1); then load via MXL.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Ted,  
    You can use MxLoader to load  the Job Plans for small changes . But only job plans in Draft or PNDREV status can be modified. Active job plans cannot be modified. If you attempt to modify an active job plan through the MIF you will receive the following error:

    "BMXAA0024E - The action ADD is not allowed on object JOBTASK. Verify the business rules for the object and define the appropriate action for the object."

    To update an active job plan, you must first revise the job plan. You can either revise the job plan in the Maximo application or by using MxLoader  . To revise an active job plan using MxLoader  , increment the PLUSCREVNUM field by one and set the job plan status to PNDREV. Next, upload the changes using the new revision number, then activate the new job plan revision. Maximo will set the status of the new Job Plan revision to ACTIVE and set the status of the previous revision to REVISED.
