Strange topic, but when trying to get metadata things updated via a ticket, it seems that the request for enhancement (RFE) process is the desired way to go. With that in mind, I guess it is time to start the discussion. I am glad to submit the RFE, but I don't want to do them one at a time.
So, I will get this started with a few that have been around for awhile, and are probably in Maximo 8 already, so the fix will not be around the corner. Still, we need to start somewhere.
As an example, currently there is already a RFE on clarifying some inventory terminology at
Log in to IBM. The status is reported as
Uncommitted Candidate: This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
If you can't log in to the RFE, the full description of RFE 145694 is attached.
Now, here are a couple additional to consider:
Charpointaction.jpnum field help needs to be updated as the field help indicates: "PM to be used for the observation value" and screenshots are attached, or you can go to Condition Monitoring and look up field help for the Characteristic Action Value Job Plan.
Domains have multiple spellings for 'canceled'. The easiest way to find them is with this sql, as opposed to looking up each domain:
select domainid, maxvalue, value, description
from SYNONYMDOMAIN
where DESCRIPTION like 'CANCEL%ED'
ORDER BY 2;
In 7.6.1.2, it produces 10 rows with description spelled with 1 el 6 times and with 2 els 4 times.
CONTRACTSTATUS CAN CAN Canceled
MRSTATUS CAN CAN Canceled
POSTATUS CAN CAN Canceled
PRSTATUS CAN CAN Canceled
WOSTATUS CAN CAN Canceled
FCSTATUS CANCEL CANCEL Canceled
INVPICKLISTSTATUS CANCELLED CANCELLED Cancelled
INVUSESTATUS CANCELLED CANCELLED Cancelled
BUDGET_STATUS CANCELLED CANCELLED Cancelled
SRSTATUS CLOSED CANCELLED Cancelled
Please make the descriptions consistent and in line with primary language, so CANCELED, would seem to be the best choice. The descriptions are more properly utilized in reporting, and an update to these will help make custom reporting more consistent.
Anyone have anything else?
