  • 1.  Refreshing Custom Record Image on Browser

    Posted Tue April 07, 2026 11:24 AM

    Hello,

    In our Asset application, we created an automation script that updates the IMGLIB mbo to show an image from Attachments to a custom record image on the Specifications tab. If the user selects the Specification tab to see the image before running the update script, the new image only shows if the user selects a browser refresh. I'm suspecting the image stays cached on the browser.

    I've tried using the following method in Jython, but a new tab still opens regardless of setting the second parameter to False. We are on Maximo 7.6.1.3:

    # Refresh Page
    service.openURL("<maximo_url>/maximo/ui/?event=loadapp&value=asset&uisessionid=1&_tt=8s2ofq5qei71qrmiine7375r5u", False)

    Is there a step I'm missing or another way to refresh/render the image on the browser? I verified the IMGLIB value does update on the back end but it only seems to render after refreshing the browser. Searching the asset number does not render the new image. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Hey Thomas,

    I don't have time to test myself yet, but I did see another complaint of the same issue referenced on the TechXchange Community and the following was suggested:

    wcs = service.webclientsession()
    wcs.gotoApplink("<maximo_url>/maximo/ui/?event=loadapp&value=asset&uisessionid=1&_tt=8s2ofq5qei71qrmiine7375r5u")

    Let us know!

    Cheers,
    Matt
