Today I am on another mission.. Automated Scripting..
I am going to use the scripting to Populate scheduled start and finish dates on a workorder..etc..
Easy enough.. I go through the steps of creating a Script with Action Launch Point - There are 3 steps to complete before you can create.
1 step is simple just naming Launch Point, defining object and then naming the action (which is auto populated from the Launch point name given)
Step 2 - Is where i name my script and choose my variables.. This is where my issue starts. I don't have the New Row button to add any Variables.. From googleing...etc.. I can see that all the tutorials show that i should be able to add them here..
I can skip this step and create the varilables after the script is created, but then i am not able to define the variable..
Has anyone attempted this? and if so am i just missing a step?
Can you explain a little more about when you want the population to occur?
An action launch point is intended to be called from WorkFlow or an
Escalation, is that your intent or do you want it to execute during the
creation (Add), Update or Save? ....or when another attribute is changed?

But yes... you can skip the variables if you choose to and use the setValue
method to populate the attributes...

Yes I am going to use an escalation to fire the script..
My script looks something like this
from java.util import Calendar
from java.util import Date
print 'WOSCHEDSTART - script execution started'
cal=Calendar.getInstance()
cal.setTime(targstartdate)
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, +1)
schedstart = cal.getTime()
cal.add(Calendar.DATE,+30)
schedfinsh=cal.getTime()
print 'WOSCHEDSTART - script execution complete'
I am getting the error..
[5/11/12 6:32:38:768 MST] 00000048 SystemOut O 11 May 2012 06:32:38:768

To get the TARGSTARTDATE try something like this:
targstartdate = mbo.getString("TARGSTARTDATE")
although we may need to figure out the date equivalent or how to change the
string to a date.

I am guessing a datetime filed should be reportdate = mbo.getTimestamp
("REPORTDATE")
I am now getting an error weather is use timestamp or getString
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<iostream>", line 9, in <module>
NameError: name 'mbo' is not defined
I have made the script a bit smaller until i can figure out what is going
on..
from java.util import Calendar
from java.util import Date
print 'WOTARCOMP - script execution started'
cal=Calendar.getInstance()
targstartdate = mbo.getTimestamp("TARGSTARTDATE")
targcompdate = mbo.getTimestamp("TARGCOMPDATE")
cal.setTime(targstartdate)
cal.add(Calendar.DATE,+30)
targcompdate=cal.getTime()
print 'WOTARCOMP - script execution complete'

Try this... or a variation... this will set the Target Finish to the value
of Target Start plus one day:
from psdi.mbo import MboRemote
from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
from psdi.mbo import MboSetRemote
from java.util import Calendar
from java.util import Date
targstart = mbo.getDate("TARGSTARTDATE")
cal=Calendar.getInstance()
cal.setTime(targstart )
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, +1)
targstart = cal.getTime()
targfin = targstart
mbo.setValue("TARGCOMPDATE",targfin)

Shannon,
That is what we have experinced beofore, there is a workaround, created your scirpt and launch point, and open the lauch point again, you shall be able to add variable.

Subject: [MAXIMO List] Maximo 7.5 Automated Scripting
Today I am on another mission.. Automated Scripting..
I am going to use the scripting to Populate scheduled start and finish dates on a workorder..etc..
Easy enough.. I go through the steps of creating a Script with Action Launch Point - There are 3 steps to complete before you can create.
1 step is simple just naming Launch Point, defining object and then naming the action (which is auto populated from the Launch point name given)
Step 2 - Is where i name my script and choose my variables.. This is where my issue starts. I don't have the New Row button to add any Variables.. From googleing...etc.. I can see that all the tutorials show that i should be able to add them here..
I can skip this step and create the varilables after the script is created, but then i am not able to define the variable..
Has anyone attempted this? and if so am i just missing a step?
