  • 1.  Automation Scripts

    Posted 11-19-2021 04:13
    Hi Folks

    I'm more familiar with SQL than I am python, would appreciate it if someone could help me out with the correct syntax for the bolded section for my automation script, thanks in advance

    Cheers

    from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
    from psdi.server import MXServer

    if mbo.isNull("GLACCOUNT"):
    errorgroup ="WORKORDER"
    errorkey = "GLAcctIncomplete"

    else:
    mbo.getString("GLACCOUNT") like "%-??????"
    errorgroup ="WORKORDER"
    errorkey = "GLAcctIncomplete"
    #Customizations
    #EverythingMaximo

    FYI - I'm new to automation scripts too. I found this quick reference guide helpful (although I don't think it helps you with your current question).

    Maybe something like this?

    from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
    from psdi.server import MXServer

    if mbo.isNull("GLACCOUNT"):
      errorgroup ="WORKORDER"
      errorkey = "GLAcctIncomplete"

    elif mbo.getString("GLACCOUNT").find("-??????") > -1:
      errorgroup ="WORKORDER"
      errorkey = "GLAcctIncomplete"

    Hope this helps,

    If you're really sure you want to throw the same error for both conditions, simplify it with:

    from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
from psdi.server import MXServer

# Declare a variable for the value of the GLACCOUNT attribute
glAccount = mbo.getString('glaccount')

if glAccount is None or glAccount.endswith('-??????'):
    errorgroup = 'WORKORDER'
    errorkey = 'GLAcctIncomplete'​



    Otherwise:

    from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
from psdi.server import MXServer

# Declare a variable for the value of the GLACCOUNT attribute
glAccount = mbo.getString('glaccount')

if glAccount is None:
    errorgroup = 'WORKORDER'
    # make a different error message for this
    errorkey = 'GLAcctIsNull'

elif glAccount.endswith('-??????'):
    errorgroup = 'WORKORDER'
    errorkey = 'GLAcctIncomplete'

    Also...a cleaner way to through an error is to use the service.error() method...

    service.error("ERRORGROUP, "ERRORKEY", [params]);

    you might be able to use
    elif mbo.getString("glaccount").endswith("-????")
