Maximo Open Forum

Generalized background--I have a Maximo application definition that contains a defined data source src_child and a defined dialog box dialog_child that has its datasource="src_child"

There is a defined action-based automation script CRTCHILD that is authorized for use w/in the application, and associated with a push button on the mainrecord.  

The PROBLEMS I'm having are two-fold:

1. How to most elegantly get a newly created child mbo via the script so that I can set values AND have it show up properly in the dialog box
2. How to get the dialog box to properly display the newly created child mbo found in #1

This is the script I've been using--it WORKS (accomplishes both #1 and #2), but it is ugly.  Curious if anyone has suggestions about how to improve!

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

## Get context
session = service.webclientsession();
databean = session.getDataBean("src_child");
set = databean.getMboSet();

## Add the row
databean.addrow();

## This is what I have to do to accomplish #1 ##
set = databean.getMboSet();
ID = 0;
s = set.moveFirst();
while (s != None):
    if (s.getLong("PLUSGSHFTLOGENTRYID") > ID):
        ID = s.getLong("PLUSGSHFTLOGENTRYID");
    s = set.moveNext();
    
child = databean.getMboForUniqueId(ID);
# child = set.moveLast(); ## this doesn't reliably work
owner = child.getOwner();

## Set values
child.setValue("FIELDS HERE", "VALUES HERE", FLAGS_HERE);

## Load the row
session.loadDialog("dialog_child");

## This is what I have to do to accomplish #2 ##
service.error("GRE", "NONE", [""]); ## this halts things such that the dialog box opens on the right mbo
