MAM 7.6.1.2:

I have an automation script that intentionally throws an error under certain conditions:

errorMsg = """
\n Classification path has too many levels.
"""

#Note: CLASSANCESTOR.HIERARCHYLEVELS start at 0, not 1. 
#      So if there are "3" HIERARCHYLEVELS, then that means there are actually 4 levels.
if mbo.getInt("CGCLASSANCESTOR_PARENTTOPLEV.HIERARCHYLEVELS") > 2: #Notice that the relationship points to the classstructure's *parent*.
    service.error("AutoSript: CGCLASSSTRUCTUREHIERARCHYPATH", errorMsg)

mbo.setValue('CGHIERARCHYPATH', mbo.getString('HIERARCHYPATH'))​

Question:

When Maximo displays the error title in the dialog, it converts the text to lowercase, even though the title's text has uppercase letters in the underlying script.

Why does Maximo convert the title to lowercase? (It doesn't do that for the text in the body of the message.)



Thanks.

Hi,

The error title that you are referring to is actually the message group and the message your are providing is the message key.  This is intended to look up a message from the MAXMESSAGE table, not to display the message directly.

In the Database Configuration or Application Designer applications you will see an action menu item, "Messages", where you can add new messages that are defined with a message group, message key, and then the message value.

If you had a message, with the following:

Message Group: "custom"
Message Key: "example"
Message : An example of a custom message

You could then call the following:

service.error("custom","example")

and the message "An example of a customer message" would be displayed.

Hope that helps.
