Creation of Yes / No User Input Dialog Validation for Custom Status using Automation Script || IBM Maximo

Today we are going to show you the creation of user user input dialog box for the custom status field. We have a custom application which has the custom status field, it changes the status of work order tasks based on this custom status. The requirement came when there was no validation when the user changed the status. We will show you how created validation dialog box using automation script.


1. Go to Database Configuration and create a message for user input

      Message Group:  os_taskstatus

      Message Key:      os_taskstatus

      Value:                Do you really want to change the status?

      Buttons:              Yes, No


2. Create Automation Script:

      Launch Point:    Attribute

      Events:          Validate

      Object:               WOACTIVITY

      Attribute:            ZZOSACTIVITYSTATUS

      Script:                  Jython


3.  Script Body:

from psdi.server import MXServer

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

vOsStatus = mbo.getString("ZZOSACTIVITYSTATUS")


def yes():

    mbo.changeStatus(vOsStatus,MXServer.getMXServer().getDate(), "MY STATUS", MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)

def no():

    mbo.setValueNull("ZZOSACTIVITYSTATUS")

def dflt():

    service.log("dflt")

    params = [str(vOsStatus)]

    service.yncerror("os_taskstutus", "os_taskstatus", params)

cases = {service.YNC_NULL:dflt, service.YNC_YES:yes, service.YNC_NO:no}

if interactive:

    if vOsStatus in ('INPRG','COMP','CAN'):

        x = service.yncuserinput()

        cases[x]()
