Hi All, 

I have been working on a script that auto creates a labor record when a new user is created. Here is the manual process I follow today:

1. I manually create a new a User in MAS (This process will stay the same).
2. New User record is automatically created in Manage.
3. New Person record is automatically created in Manage.
4. I manually create the user's labor record in Manage.

The auto script below successfully creates a new labor record when I manually create a Person record. However, when a new user is created through MAS and the person record is automatically created, the script does not run. Could someone please assist?

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

# Get the personid value from the person object
# Check if the personid record is newly created (isNew() method checks if the record is new)
if mbo.isNew():

    personid = mbo.getString("PERSONID")
    # Check if the personid is not empty
    if mbo:
        # Get the Labor object and create a new labor record
        # Get the LaborCraftRate object and create a new laborcraftrate record
        laborSet = mbo.getMboSet("$LABOR", "LABOR", "1=0")  # Create an empty labor set
        labor = laborSet.addAtEnd()
        laborCraftRateSet = labor.getMboSet("$LABORCRAFTRATE", "LABORCRAFTRATE", "1=0")  # Create an empty laborcraftrate set
        laborCraftRate = laborCraftRateSet.addAtEnd()
        # Set the labor id to match the personid
        # Set the craft code and laborcode values for the laborcraftrate record
        labor.setValue("LABORCODE", personid)
        laborCraftRate.setValue("CRAFT", "MAINT")
        laborCraftRate.setValue("LABORCODE", personid)
        laborCraftRate.setValue("DISPLAYRATE", "35")
    
        # Save the labor record
        laborSet.save()

        # Save the laborcraftrate record
        laborCraftRateSet.save()

Hi Carlos, what is the launch point you are using?  Are there any errors in the log or and indication the script was launched?

Hi Steven, 

This script has an attribute launch point on attribute Personid, object Person. I checked the logs, and it looks like the script was launched. See the logs message below:

[7/11/23, 19:40:53:703 GMT] 00006e30 SystemOut                                                    O 11 Jul 2023 19:40:53:703 [DEBUG] [MXServer] [CID-MXOSLC-568003] PERSONScriptMboEventListener eventAction called. for script THD_LABOR launch point THD_LABOR

Hi Carlos,

I saw some odd behavior in both scenarios.  Removing the two saves seems to resolve things and I saw a labor record created both manually and via MAS.  In general, save should be avoided in a script, especially a field validation.  Let me know if that adjustment works for you.

Steven, that worked! Thank you so much!

Hi, is this solution usable in 7.6.1.2?

Yes, it should work in 7.6.1.2 as well.
