Maximo 7.6.1.2:

Does anyone have a working example of an asynchronous automation script?

Example: populate a custom ASSET field behind the scenes - via a process that is slow (something the user would not want to wait for).

Thanks! I've asked a few colleagues about asynchronous automation scripts as well. I haven't found anyone who's had any luck with them yet.

(I also chatted with @Anamitra Bhattacharyya at IBM a while back. There's a chance he might be able to look into it at some point.)

I looped back to this and learned a few important details. In the documentation there are some mistakes (either that or I misunderstand MBR scripting more than I thought I did). The first is in your script that you want to execute from an async job, the parameter is whereclause not where. So that script is like this:

woSet=service.getMboSet("WORKORDER",userInfo)
woSet.setWhere(whereclause)
woSet.reset()

woMbo=woSet.moveFirst()
if woMbo:
    woMbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION",woMbo.getString("DESCRIPTION")+ " IT WORKED!")
    woSet.save()
woSet.close()

More importantly though, the AsyncJobSubmitter class that ScriptAsyncJobSubmitter extends requires that the non-persistent object has an owning object (it calls getOwner()) and that is where the nullpointerexception came in my example. I had to thus change it to something like this:

asyncSet=mbo.getMboSet("$EMXASYNCSCRIPT","ASYNCSCRIPT","1=1")
asyncMbo=asyncSet.setup()

asyncMbo.setValue("AUTOSCRIPT","EMXTESTSCRIPT")
asyncMbo.setValue("OBJECTNAME","WORKORDER")
asyncMbo.setValue("WHERECLAUSE","workorderid="+str(mbo.getUniqueIDValue()))

asyncSet.execute()

Once I got to that I got an error because the async script that gets executed (in my example, EMXTESTSCRIPT) needs to be added to the ASYNCJOBNAME domain as that is what is referenced as the job name.

EDIT: Figured out the looping issue and it was on my end.

Hi,
in Jython scripts for WebSphere administration this code works, so I guess it works in Maximo too:

import time
...
time.sleep(250)

The first is in your script that you want to execute from an async job, the parameter is whereclause not where. So that script is like this:

woSet.reset()

woMbo=woSet.moveFirst()

    woSet.save()
woSet.close()
