uxtechnicianownerfilter query update for work execution work center

this is in response to case TS013850145 where it was indicated this would not be accepted as a bug but rather needs to be submitted as an enhancement. We are still of the opinion this is a bug, however.


summary is as follows:

The data issues are summarized as follows:


Current query is


istask=0 and owner = :&personid& or ownergroup in (select persongroup from persongroupteam where respparty=:&personid&)



  • history workorders are displayed. should this be the case? I would assume these should be filtered out otherwise the listing will build and build.

  • if you set up a test record where you take a task workorder and set the ownergroup to one of the persongroups that the user belongs to, you will see that it now shows in work execution. I am assuming the desired functionality is that this should not display.

login as wilson

choose a persongroup in the persongroups application and add wilson as a member

go to activities and tasks and choose an activity workorder and set ownergroup to the persongroup noted above

launch work execution and note that this workorder above now displays


  • if you set up a workorder that is woclass other than WORKORDER and add the user as owner then that workorder will display where I am assuming the desired functionality is that you would not want it to display. For example in our system we have icd with Maximo together. Thus, if I go to the changes application and set a change record to be set to myself as the owner when I launch work execution, that record will display.


We have found that the query

(woclass =(select value FROM synonymdomain where domainid ='WOCLASS' and maxvalue = 'WORKORDER') and historyflag=0 and istask=0 and (owner=:&personid& or ownergroup in (select persongroup from persongroupteam where respparty=:&personid&)) )


resolves the above issues. Additionally with the current query running on a workorder table with millions of records (30M+) we found significant performance issues with the load of the application due to this query utilizing full table scans and taking a very long time to run. With the updated query above the query will utilize the workorder_ndx3 index in the execution plan and for us personally decreased load time from minutes to seconds.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. Also, work centers are being deprecated and queries can be configured by changing the whereclauses in the related object structures.

    It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
