Batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule

It would be helpful if there were an OOB mechanism that could be used to batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule. For example, update a custom WOCOSTROLLUP table each night. Either truncate and reload all rows each time. Or, only merge/upd...

Approve labor actuals right in WOTRACK

It would be helpful if we could approve labor actuals right in WOTRACK. It's not possible to do that, since the "Approved?" checkbox is read-only in WOTRACK. There isn't a way to make the "Approved?" field editable via Application Designer. Screen...

Start/Stop timer for tasks

In WOTRACK and Quick reporting: It would be helpful if there were a start/stop timer for tasks that workers could use to easily start and stop their task labor actuals (with the click of a button). It would be more efficient to use a timer than ma...

Rules Engine

As a way to avoid excessive coding via automation scripts, it would be helpful if IBM could implement a rules engine: Provide "if this, then that" logic approach to any MBO without having to write custom code. Via a table with the following fields...

Edit imported view object's attribute datatype after saving -- but before db config

Scenario: Create an imported view object in db config. Save the object. We need to change a field type, but can't because the fields are read-only. It seems like it should be possible to edit saved object attribute datatypes -- before db config is...

autoscript performance enhancement: provide method to check current logging level

The service object now sports log_debug() and log_info() methods. Maximo autoscripters are thankful for the option to choose the level we log messages at. The next step is to allow us to optimize performance by allowing us to choose when we try to...

Batch-edit custom fields via expression

It would be helpful if we could batch-edit custom fields via an expression from within a Maximo application. The functionality could be like the Change Status action/window (supports bulk edits), but lets administrators choose the custom field and...
