  • 1.  Service.error and after-commit automation scripts

    Posted 05/08/25 08:02 PM

    Hi Maximo Wizards!

    I encountered a strange thing. I was updating an automation script that is launched on WORKORDER.save, after commit. The important point here is that it is after commit. I like to use service.error to debug my scripts (because it acts as a breakpoint). However, for this specific scenario, my service.error was never being thrown!

    I noticed that service.error messages are never displayed on after-commit launchpoints. If I change the launcpoint to before save, then the error is displayed.

    Has anyone encountered this issue before? I assume the error is not displayed because the transaction has already been committed to the database, therefore the error does not stop the object being saved? But I would assume that the error should still be displayed and my script should be stopped, regardless of whether the transaction was committed.

    Thanks!

    Hi Aneesh,

    Error message doesn't work with After-commit launch points.

    I would suggest using maximo loggers to print the error message in log files. 

    Automation scripts loggers

    Thanks!

    Thank you Sankar! I did not know that error messages don't work on after-commit launch points!

    Hi Aneesh,

    May be you can try : raise TypeError("error message")
