Has anyone tried to make an automation script in to a Cron task in Maximo
7.5? I have a script to trawl my log files looking for items of interest
and put them in a custom table which I'd like to schedule to run regularly.
I'm deliberating whether I can fake it as an action on a faux escalation
maybe.
Chris.
Yes. You do it through an Escalation (which is really just a cron task). We have one that creates a Blank Timesheet every Sunday for all active labor records.

The action used in the Escalation is a Custom Class type.
Set the value to: com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.script.ScriptAction
Set the Parameter/Attribute to your Script name, 3 times, separated by commas: CREATE_WEEKLY_TIMEREPORT,CREATE_WEEKLY_TIMEREPORT,CREATE_WEEKLY_TIMEREPORT
Works like a champ for us. ;)
