Job Plan Conditions should work with PM/JP/Route

Currently, Job Plan Conditions aren't honored when WOs are created from a PM that has a Job Plan and a Route. It would be helpful if Maximo could be enhanced so that Job Plan Conditions work in that scenario.

Easier way to run cron task on demand

It would be helpful if there were an easier way to run a cron task on demand. Currently, we can edit the scheduled time of a cron task so that it runs in a couple of minutes from now. But that isn't ideal, because we need to write down the real sc...

Application XML: List of possible XML properties
