Maximo Open Forum

Hello!

I'm trying to setup some default data on a new work order for a specific site but when I run the following script nothing happens, I don't get any error from Maximo and the fields are not populated with the default values. Any suggestions?

from psdi.server import MXServer
workorder = mbo.getOwner()
if workorder and workorder.isBasedOn("WORKORDER"):
    if app == 'WOTRACK':
        if mbo.getString("siteid") == 'BEDFORD':
            mbo.setValue("STATUS", "INPRG", MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
            mbo.setValue("GLACCOUNT", "50020.200.5210")

When you're creating a work order, you normally will not have an owner. Think of the owner in the context of something like PR->PRLINE. If you had a script on PRLINE.NEW, then the PRLINE owner would be the PR header. You may be creating a WO specially where it does have a parent, but the second line there "workorder = mbo.getOwner()" is likely going to be null. You normally would just be using mbo. IE:

if mbo and mbo.isBasedOn("WORKORDER"):

Hello Steven,

Your explanation is right on target and now this works like a charm!

Thank you so much for your help!

Hey @Julio Roca i have tried the script and it works fine.

from psdi.server import MXServer
if mboname=='WORKORDER' and app=='WOTRACK' and mbo.getString('SITEID')=='BEDFORD':
    mbo.setValue('DESCRIPTION','script triggered WOTRACK.new')
    mbo.changeStatus("INPRG", MXServer.getMXServer().getDate(), "Status Changed from .NEW Script")
    mbo.setValue('GLACCOUNT','6000-200-000')
    wostatus=mbo.getMboSet('WOSTATUS')
