Invoke/Call any dialog from Automation Script | Maximo

Question:

Can we invoke/call my custom dialog or any dialog from the automation script, like we usually can trigger it from the Push button or from Select Action of the application 

Answer:

Yes, you can in the latest version 7.6.1. 

1. Get the dialog name from the application designer 

2. using below mentioned automation script to call it. 

In my example, I created one object launch point automation on the work order application to trigger automation. 

Below is the body of the automation in which I called one of the standard change status dialogs. 

from psdi.server import MXServer

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants

from psdi.common.context import UIContext

from psdi.webclient.system.controller import SessionContext, Utility, WebClientEvent

mxServer = MXServer.getMXServer()

userInfo = mxServer.getUserInfo("maxadmin")

vmbo = mbo.getString("wonum")

if vmbo == '30352551':

    context = UIContext.getCurrentContext()

    if context:

        wcs = context.getWebClientSession()

        Utility().sendEvent(WebClientEvent("status", wcs.getCurrentPageId(), None, SessionContext(wcs)))

        #service.error("",str(abc))

To Close a dialog, either use "okdialog" or in the newer version in can be done with 1 line of code:

service.closeDialog()
