Improving SLA Accuracy by Aligning Work Order Reported Date with PM Seasonal Start Time | Maximo

To ensure SLAs calculate correctly from the intended seasonal start time, I added an Object Launch Point automation script on WORKORDER with:

Condition: pmnum is not null

Events: Add, Save, Before Save

The script takes the time from PM.TARGSTARTTIME and applies it to the date in REPORTDATE, ensuring the work order uses the correct seasonal seed date before any SLA is applied.

from java.util import Date, Calendar

targStartTime = mbo.getDate("PM.TARGSTARTTIME")

reportDate = mbo.getDate("REPORTDATE")

if reportDate is not None:

    calReport = Calendar.getInstance()

    calReport.setTime(reportDate)

    calTime = Calendar.getInstance()

    calTime.setTime(targStartTime)

    

    calReport.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, calTime.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY))

    calReport.set(Calendar.MINUTE,     calTime.get(Calendar.MINUTE))

    calReport.set(Calendar.SECOND,     calTime.get(Calendar.SECOND))

    calReport.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND,0)

    mbo.setValue("REPORTDATE", calReport.getTime(), 11L)
