This post is an excerpt from the Maximo 76 Scripting Features guide. It’s a common thing to conditionally set some defaults when a new mbo gets added. We have so far leveraged the Object Launchpoint Init event to do that. We would need to check for onadd flag there to make sure we are adding […]
This post is an excerpt from the Maximo 76 Scripting Features guide. Adding validation to the virtual (aka Nonpersistent) mbos (on execute 7609 feature). In this sample we are going use the change status dialog from the Asset Application to validate if the memo is filled in when the Asset status is set to BROKEN. […]
This post is an excerpt from the Maximo 76 Scripting Features guide. Starting 76 we can write scripts for cron tasks too. It follows the same principle as the endpoint handler. We have a cron class – com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.script.ScriptCrontask that helps achieve this. We need to register that class as a new crontask in the crontask […]

Although that is the most common place where we do customizations, we often see the need to attach some customizations at the after save and after commit events – mostly […]
This post is an excerpt from the Maximo 76 Scripting Features guide. YNC (Yes, No, Cancel) interactions can now be implemented using automation scripts. We need to do some prep work before writing the script. First we need to define a message that support the YNC interaction. Make sure you have the message as informational […]
This post is an excerpt from the Maximo 76 Scripting Features guide. Maximo errors in 7.5 version used to get done by setting errorgroup, errorkey and params variables (full example here). Setting those did not stop the execution, as the execution will continue till the end of that script and then it will check the […]
I want to share a small trick I have learned from this presentation. It is an undocumented feature of Automation Scripts that will automatically launch a script based on a special naming convention. For example if you want to run a script each time a ASSET object is saved you just have to create an […]
Today I faced an interesting problem. My customer asked to be able to search work orders with specific values in one of the custom fields I have added few weeks ago to the Work Order Tracking application. Easy I said. I know I just need to add that custom fields in the ‘searchmore’ dialog of […]
