Maximo Open Forum

Hi All,

We have a java class validation on ACTSTART and ACTFINISH field in WO object. Now the class does not allow to insert the future date for both the field and requirement is to remove the validation of java class and call the automation script on those field. Without changing the default functionality.

Is it possible to bypass java validation?

Thank you in advance!

I think the preferred way to do this would be to create your own attributes, MYACTSTART and MYACTFINISH, and have autoscripts on those that do the validation you want for the Attribute Launch Point -> Validation event and then for the Attribute Launch Point -> Run action event do something like `mbo.setValue("ACTSTART", mbo.getDate("MYACTSTART"), mbo.NOVALIDATION)`.

Hi Jason,

Thanks, we also thought for the same. 

Never intentionally violate Maximo business rules because you don't know what you will break by doing it. If you don't want to use them as intended, use custom attributes. ACTFINISH is used to copy over to PM.LASTCOMPDATE for example which is also not intended to be a future date. 

Hi Steven,

You are correct. It may cause future issues.
