MxLoader

I am wanting to remove (make NULL) the Supervisor and Lead (laborcode) from Job Plans where these fields are populated using MXLOADER but the action creates a revision Job Plan at status 'ACTIVE' and leaves the originating Job Plan at status 'ACTIVE'. The Organization system settings has the 'Revision Control for Job Plans' ticked and I am guessing this is what is causing this result. Is there a method where the Job Plan can be AddChange using MXLOADER where just the records I want to change happens and no Revision Job Plan created? Also any Job Plans at status 'DRAFT' do not get changed... Screen shot of the result in the attachments.

I am using the OS MHJOBPLAN and there is only the object JOBPLAN being used.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi John.

I've created a MxLoader for the fields I want to update, including status. I then query for the records I want to change. From there, I change the statuses to DRAFT, use the CHANGE option and execute. Then, I update the desired fields, the use the CHANGE option again. On the last run, I changed the statuses to ACTIVE, the use the CHANGE option again.

Note: AddChange will create a mess

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Stevie,

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately after following your steps the Supervisor field did not change to NULL. My steps

1. I changed the status on Revision 1 & 2 to REVISED (they were both 'ACTIVE') one at a time but when I changed Revision 2 to REVISED it created Revision 3 at status 'ACTIVE' using MXLOADER 'Change'
2. I then changed the status on Revision 3 to 'DRAFT' using MXLOADER 'Change'
3. I then made the Supervisor field ~NULL~  but after running MAXLOADER 'Change' the field never changed

Screen shots attached in the order I made the steps above.

I only made this change to 1 Job Plan record, JP10000. I may have missed a step in my changes, thoughts...

Cheers

Hi John,

I was still able to get mine to work in my environment.

Try these steps and let me know the results.

1. Query just for the newest record, i.e., jpnum='xxxx' and status = 'ACTIVE'
   1. Update the STATUS column to DRAFT, then execute the CHANGE action
   2. Update the SUPERVISOR column to ~NULL~, then execute the CHANGE action
   3. Execute the QUERY action to confirm the SUPERVISOR column is NULL
   4. Update the STATUS column to ACTIVE, then execute the CHANGE action

Thanks Stevie, found the issue, it was the OS I was using. I created a duplicate of MXJOBPLAN and excluded the fields I didn't need and just used CHANGE and no revision Job Plans created.

Thanks for all your help.
