Create new Crontask based on Automation Script | Maximo

Step 1. Create a Script with any Name, as in my Example my Script Name is CRONAUTOMATIONSCRIPT

from psdi.server import MXServer

from psdi.util.logging import MXLoggerFactory

log = MXLoggerFactory.getLogger("maximo.script.aqautoscript")

mxserver = MXServer.getMXServer()

userInfo = mxserver.getSystemUserInfo()

 # arg = crontask scriptarg parameter 

if instanceName and scriptName and  arg:

    AssetSet = mxserver.getMboSet("ASSET", mxserver.getSystemUserInfo())

    AssetSet.setWhere("ASSETNUM = '" + arg + "' ")

    AssetSet.reset()

    asset = AssetSet.getMbo(0)

    if asset:

        asset.setValue("description",arg)

    AssetSet.save()

    

log.info('\n instanceName is: ' + instanceName )

log.info('\n ARG is: ' + arg)

log.info('\n Automation Script name: ' + scriptName)

Step 2. Create a New Cron as below. and enter the name of the script into the parameter of Script Name.

Name: anyName, CRONAUTOMATION

Class:com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.script.ScriptCrontask

Cron Task Instances: CRONTASKINSTANCE

Parameters:

    SCRIPTARG:    (Any argument you want to pass to the script, and the script will get this by "arg" implicit variable.)

    SCRIPTNAME:   CRONAUTOMATIONSCRIPT (we created in step 1.) 

 

Note: If you create a comma-delimited list of values that you want to pass to the Automation Script in the SCRIPTARG parameter, you can access them in the script with something like: if arg: srOwner,wfProcess = arg.split(",")
