In the workorder table I created a field called PAYBYPCARD 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

I also tried this version:

#PAIDBYCARD SCRIPT

if PAIDBYPCARD == 'YES':

   pcardamount_required=True

   pcardholder_required=True

   pcardpaiddate=True

When activated it is giving me a boolean java language exception if I check mark the field

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

This works on Run Action and Init.  The Run Action evaluates when you change the value and the Init evaluates when the record is opened so it ensures that the fields are made read-only on init and whenever the checkbox is updated.

Do you have any details on what those errors are?

Hi Paul,

Without seeing what you are seeing, it is hard to guess what is wrong. Based your initial example I wrong this in jython and your error about semicolons and formatting errors, perhaps you have selected Javascript / Nashorn. 

If you are using Jython, be aware that spaces are significant and copy / pasting from these discussion forums can mess with the formatting. For reference here is a screenshot of the code in the Maximo editor.

Jason

You will need two Attribute launch points, one on PAYBYPCARD Initialize and one on PAYBYPCARD on Run Action.  Your launch point is currently on before save.

Hi Paul,

Without seeing what you are seeing, it is hard to guess what is wrong. Based your initial example I wrong this in jython and your error about semicolons and formatting errors, perhaps you have selected Javascript / Nashorn. 

If you are using Jython, be aware that spaces are significant and copy / pasting from these discussion forums can mess with the formatting. For reference here is a screenshot of the code in the Maximo editor.

The first red x says Missing ";" beforer statement

The second Red x says 

expected 'from' and instead saw 'def'.
expected '(string)' and instead saw 'main'.
expecting semicolon.

unrecoverable syntax error (7% scanned)

This works on Run Action and Init.  The Run Action evaluates when you change the value and the Init evaluates when the record is opened so it ensures that the fields are made read-only on init and whenever the checkbox is updated.

Do you have any details on what those errors are?

In the workorder table I created a field called PAYBYPCARD 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

I also tried this version:

#PAIDBYCARD SCRIPT

if PAIDBYPCARD == 'YES':

   pcardamount_required=True

   pcardholder_required=True

   pcardpaiddate=True

When activated it is giving me a boolean java language exception if I check mark the field

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

I don't see an option for adding a launchpoint.  I see where I can activate/deactivate a launchpoint, but not how to add more than one.

You will need two Attribute launch points, one on PAYBYPCARD Initialize and one on PAYBYPCARD on Run Action.  Your launch point is currently on before save. 

I appreciate the help.
This is where I am at right now.

It is not erroring, but it is also not doing anything.  When I check the box and click save, it just saves and moves on with the required fields not filled in.

Note, that I had provided you an invalid field name, so I updated the script to the correct field name

This is the script:

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

def main():
    # If this is called in the context of a work order Mbo save and the PAYBYPCARD field is true, then make the additional fields required.
    if 'mbo' in globals() and mbo.isBasedOn("WORKORDER") and mbo.getBoolean("PAYBYPCARD"):                
        mbo.setFieldFlag("PCARDAMOUMT",MboConstants.REQUIRED, True)

Paul,

It seems that you might be missing some foundational concepts of automation scripts and launch points.  I recommend that you reach out to one of the Maximo integrators for more formal assistance in this regard.

The IBM documentation is a good place to start, but you may still want to engage an expert for a more in depth explanation and assistance.

Here is a good reference to start in the interim.
