Refresh/Update Start Center for All Users in a specific Security Group | Maximo

 Create an automation script to delete the records from the respected table to refresh the start centers displayed on the user's screen

or delete the records from the tables using SQL.

Today we are going to make an automation script and attached it to a signature option on the toolbar. 

So that whenever the user clicks on this button on the security group application, all the respected records will be deleted, and the start center will try to create new records, which means our records will be updated. 

This:

1. Create an Action Launch Point Automation Script with a name like( STARTCENTER_REFRESH ).

Copy the below code in the script section, use jython as language. 

from psdi.server import MXServer

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

from psdi.util.logging import MXLoggerFactory

logger = MXLoggerFactory.getLogger("maximo.maximodev")

logger.info("Entering MXD_RESETSC")

def deleteSc(objectName, where):

    scSet = MXServer.getMXServer().getMboSet(objectName, mbo.getUserInfo())

    scSet.setWhere(where)

    logger.debug("Deleting " + str(scSet.count()) + " rows from " + objectName)

    # disable logging of large fetch result set to avoid FetchResultLogLimit errors

    scSet.setLogLargFetchResultDisabled(True)

    scSet.deleteAll()

    scSet.save()

Copy WF Memo to Status Memo in View History of Status dialog | Maximo

Copy the Memo from the MANUAL INPUT of the workflow dialog into Memo field of CHANGE STATUS in View History Dialog of any application. 

Both Memos are different , one is coming from wftransaction, and the other one is in the xxstatus table. 

We were trying to cross over the memo from Wftrancation to status table's memo. 

here is the solution we developed using automation script in jyton. 

In my example i am using PR object and PRSTATUS table.

1. Make a relationship from WFTRANSACTION to PR

RelationShip Name: PR

Child Object: PR

Where Clause: prid = :ownerid and :ownertable = 'PR'

1. Object Launch Point 

Object : WFTRANSACTION

Events: SAVE, Add, After Save

wftmemo = mbo.getString("memo")

if (wftmemo!=''):

    prset = mbo.getMboSet("pr")

    pr = prset.moveFirst()

    if pr is not None:

        prstatusset = pr.getMboSet("prstatus")

        prstatus = prstatusset.moveLast()

        prstatus.setValue("memo",wftmemo,2L)

        #prstatusset.save()

Requirement # 1:

How can we delete all persons from a list of PersonGroups except Group Default at once?

Solution:

1. Create an Action Launch Point Script (let's say. DEL_PGTEAM)
2. Open PERSONGR in application designer: 
1. Create a Signature Option: DEL_PGTEAM., and choose "This is an action that must be invoked by the user in the UI" in the advance section
2. Create Action with type Option with the same name as the signature option in step 1.
3. Grant newly created signature option for specific Security Group.
