Hi all,
I need to create an error message that would remind users to amend a certain field before saving a new record. I think to add a new message to the message table, I just need to create it from the application designer. Can anyone provide me the procedures on how to display a new message when the application encounters error? Haven't done this before. Thanks heaps.
Janice this is one of my biggest irritations with Maximo. You can't do this
without java customization or an add on product like RulesManager from TRM.
To get around this I sometimes just put a status message on screen near the
field to remind the users of what to do. Also I will put data checks in
workflows that might be run soon after the data in question is entered. We
actually have workflow around all of our work order status changes so this
gives me the ability to do data checks and display error messages through
workflow. For example, just today I put a data check in our job plan
workflow where it checks to make sure all the parts are ACTIVE. If not, the
user gets an error message from the workflow, then the workflow stops and
the user has to fix the condition before being able to put the job plan into
workflow.
Seems like I heard that 7.5 will be able to do data checks and display
messages through the automation scripting application but I don't know much
about this at all.

In Maximo 7.5 you can create and maintain MAXMESSAGE entries through the
database configuration module and yes, you can use these messages within
automation scripts as the message that is displayed to the user.
In versions prior to 7.5 however it is exactly as you say, you get what you
get (although you can modify the content of existing messages in the table
via SQL).
Chris.
