Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if there is any information (tips and tricks, users manual) about how to create Python automation scripts in IBM MAXIMO? I know Bruno has created this useful cheat sheet (IBM MAXIMO AUTOMATION SCRIPTS QUICK REFERENCE (1.3)) and Steven (MAXIMO AUTOMATION SCRIPTING | INTRODUCTION INTO AUTOMATION SCRIPTING).
As I known, to start thinking about automation scripts, there is necessary to perform configurations on the IBM MAXIMO interface - launch points, launch types, objects (specify by which action the script will be initiated etc.), right? 
Is there is some kind of non-harmful short script which I could test in IBM MAXIMO? And would be great if there was step-by-step showed settings - launch points, etc. There is a suspicion that I have created a script, but in the settings is something wrong (want to find out). 
Colleagues, what is your experience in this field? With what to start learning python automation scripting in IBM MAXIMO? I would like to say that automation and ordinary python (for me easier to understand) are a little different.


Thank you all!

The first URL has some examples which you can try on.

Biplab's link is the preferred document moving forward. We're going to continue to enhance this document to describe new automation script capabilities as well as enhance the documentation we have on existing script events. If there's information you don't see in here that you'd want to see let me know and we'll work to get it added.
