SERVICEABILITY - Run DML commands (Manual deletes, updates, insert requests)

SRE / MAS SaaS

- Run DML commands (Manual deletes, updates, insert requests)

- Year To Date Counts from Customer Requests: 100

- Sample Cases: SREDBA-1552 - Script Execution - TS019195020 - please execute SQL scripts as per client request (LONGDESCRIPTION Table Updates), SREDBA-1468 - Please Run Attached Customer SQL Script (JOBPLAN UPDATE)

- Impact: Customers are unable to mass delete/update/insert on out of the box objects and also custom created objects. Having the flexibility to do within Product will lead to less customer requests, but also in discussions on further customer education on using Application Import/Export, API calls and also Automation Scripting to meet the requirements.

- Backout Plan: If SQL is ran by customer and/or DBA, and is incorrect, DBA will need to restore the database to point in time.

- How Does This Improve The Offering: Customers are familiar with Maximo/Manage and accessibility to database through delets/updates/inserts within Business Partners / On-Prem customers and educating and giving option for this functionality to be exceuted within Product will reduce requests and workloads on DBA team to perform.
