Invoke/Call a Publish Channel Conditionally - Automation Script | Maximo

Normally trigger point for the Publish channels is Event Listener, which is save/update any record. 

Question: Can we send the data using publish channel with a custom trigger point /condition ??

Answer: Yes you can. by using Maximo Automation Script. 

Below is the simple tricks to call a publish channel 

server = MXServer.getMXServer()

userInfo = mbo.getUserInfo()

whereClause = <CONDITION>

server.lookup("MIC").exportData("<Publish Channel Name>", "<External System Name>", whereClause, userInfo, 1000)

---------------------------------

Another example:

micSrv = MXServer.getMXServer().lookup("MIC")

server.lookup("MIC").exportData("MXPO", "LegecyApp", " ponum='"+vPONum+"' and revisionnum="+vREVNUM , micSrv.getNewUserInfo() , 1)

Note:

Mic is old service name for MIF, but still the same name
