I have an automation script in Maximo 7.6.1.1 that updates custom fields in the WORKORDER table.
I want to execute the automation script when the LatitudeY and LongitudeX fields (in the WOSERVICEADDRESS table) are edited by users.
What kind of launch point do I need to do this?
Edit:
For anyone who's learning automation scripting in Maximo, I strongly recommend Bruno Portaluri's Automation Scripts Quick Reference PDF. It doesn't have information about launch points, but it's still an incredibly valuable resource.
I wish I'd known about it when I was learning automation scripting...it would have made my life so much easier.
You can create an attribute action launch point on the latitudeY field and another on the longitudeX field. These will trigger whenever each field is modified, so it will fire once when the latitudeY field was changed, again if the longitudeX field is changed, again if the longitudeX field is changed again, and so on. This is also all before the data is saved, so the user may choose to cancel their changes, but the scripts will still have fired.
You could also make an "on save" object launch point for WOSERVICEADDRESS (if that's what is actually being updated via the map). This will run any time data in the object is saved, so you would have to do the extra checks of seeing if either of those fields have changed and then do your logic, but at least it would run once and only if the user commits to their changes.

Populates WORKORDER.WOSAX and WORKORDER.WOSAY (custom fields) from the values in WOSERVICEADDRESS.LONGITUDEX and WOSERVICEADDRESS.LATITUDEY.
woMbo=mbo.getOwner()
longitudex=mbo.getString('longitudex')
latitudey=mbo.getString('latitudey')
if woMbo is not None:
wosax=woMbo.getString('WOSAX');
wosay=woMbo.getString('WOSAY');
if longitudex!=wosax:
woMbo.setValue('WOSAX',longitudex)
if latitudey!=wosay:
woMbo.setValue('WOSAY',latitudey)
The launch points are Attribute Launch Points, not Object Launch Points.

I am pretty new to power automate. I created a flow that triggers when an item is created or modified. It initializes some variables and then does some switch cases to assign values to each of them. The variables then go into an array and another variable is incremented to get the total of the array. I then have a conditional to assign a value to a column in the list. I tested the flow specifically going into the modern view of the list and clicking the save button. This worked a bunch of times and I sent it for user testing. One of the users edited multiple items by double clicking into the item which saves after each column change(which I assume triggers a run of the flow)
The flow seemingly works but seemed to get bogged down at a point based on run history. I let it sit overnight and then tested again and now it shows runs from multiple IDs at a time even though I only edited one specific one.
I had another developer take a look at my flow and he could not spot anything wrong with it and it never had a hard error in testing only warnings about conditionals causing a loop but all my conditionals rectify. Pictures included. I am just not sure of any caveats I might be missing.
I am currently letting the flow sit to see if it finishes getting caught up. I read about the concurrent run option as well as conditions on the trigger itself. I am curious as to why it seems to run on two records(or more) all at once without me or anyone editing each one.
You might be able to ignore the updates from the service account/account which is used in the connection of the actions by using the following trigger condition expression:
#not(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Editor/Claims'], 'i:0#.f|membership|johndoe#contoso.onmicrosoft.com'))
I am trying to push a event towards GA3, mimicking an event done by a browser towards GA. From this Event I want to fill Custom Dimensions(visibile in the user explorer and relate them to a GA ID which has visited the website earlier). Could this be done without influencing website data too much? I want to enrich someone's data from an external source.
So far I cant seem to find the minimum fields which has to be in the event call for this to work. Ive got these so far:
v=1&
_v=j96d&
a=1620641575&
t=event&
_s=1&
sd=24-bit&
sr=2560x1440&
vp=510x1287&
je=0&_u=QACAAEAB~&
jid=&
gjid=&
_u=QACAAEAB~&
cid=GAID&
tid=UA-x&
_gid=GAID&
gtm=gtm&
z=355736517&
uip=1.2.3.4&
ea=x&
el=x&
ec=x&
ni=1&
cd1=GAID&
cd2=Companyx&
dl=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.nl%2F&
ul=nl-nl&
de=UTF-8&
dt=example&
cd3=CEO
So far the Custom dimension fields dont get overwritten with new values. Who knows which is missing or can share a list of neccesary fields and example values?
Ok, a few things:
CD value will be overwritten only if in GA this CD's scope is set to the user-level. Make sure it is.
You need to know the client id of the user. You can confirm that you're having the right CID by using the user explorer in GA interface unless you track it in a CD. It allows filtering by client id.
You want to make this hit non-interactional, otherwise you're inflating the session number since G will generate sessions for normal hits. non-interactional hit would have ni=1 among the params.
Wait. Scope calculations don't happen immediately in real-time. They happen later on. Give it two days and then check the results and re-conduct your experiment.
Use a throwaway/test/lower GA property to experiment. You don't want to affect the production data while not knowing exactly what you do.
There. A good use case for such an activity would be something like updating a life time value of existing users and wanting to enrich the data with it without waiting for all of them to come in. That's useful for targeting, attribution and more.
Thank you.
This is the case. all CD's are user Scoped.
This is the case, we are collecting them.
ni=1 is within the parameters of each event call.
There are so many parameters, which parameters are neccesary?
we are using a test property for this.
We also got he Bot filtering checked out:
Bot filtering
It's hard to test when the User Explorer has a delay of 2 days and we are still not sure which parameters to use and which not. Who could help on the parameter part? My only goal is to update de CD's on the person. Who knows which parameters need to be part of the event call?
in a Oracle 6i form, I have an alert defined, and a database block. Because it's a database block, when some data is entered, but not saved, when you try to exit this form, this alert pops up (asking 'Do you want to save this data?'). However, all this happens BY DEFAULT, I don't see any triggers/program units where this alert is called... Also, the text for this alert is also assigned dynamically, and I can't find any triggers/programs where it is being done... What am I missing? Thank you.
I'm not sure you can find it anywhere in Forms Builder; that behavior is built-in, Oracle Forms raises the alert when it finds out that one (or more) database items have been changed, and those changes not saved at the moment you're trying to e.g. exit the form, enter query mode, navigate to another record etc.
In order to prevent changes to be lost (end users would hate it, spending minutes to enter data which is gone without notice), Forms informs you about it and lets you choose whether you want to keep (save) those changes or not.
Therefore, just say "Thank you" every time you see it because those nice people at Oracle did it so that us, developers, wouldn't have to in each and every form we create.
I am trying to update a business process flow stage using Workflow or JavaScript.
First I tried with JavaScript using below method,
Xrm.Page.data.process.moveNext(onSetActiveStage);
But the problem with this method is if the active stage is greater than the required selected stage then moveNext logic will not work.
I know I can use movePrevious as well but it will be another overhead as sometime the active stage will be before the required stage and sometime it will be after.
The other option for me was on some field change I can use a workflow to activate or select a stage on business process flow.
For that I created a workflow and selected my BPF as my entity and selected a field on Process Change.
And inside my Set Properties, I set Active stage as the required stage which I want to mark as active.
The above logic is not working for me on change of the field.
I am new to BPF, please bear with me if I am making some basic mistake.
If you are following this blogpost, the comments below the post says - it's not working/triggering for custom BPF and you have to refresh the form to see the changes. Make sure if this is what affecting you.
Also you can un-check the "Workflow Job Retention" checkbox for troubleshooting to see if its triggering or not.
Btw, your design seems to be little confusing, required stage before/after active stage does not makes sense. You may need to add the different branch and "Data step" to make it required in different scenarios.
If this is not feasible, then try to use scripting to set the active stage or plugin/custom action to set the stage on your trigger.
I have a Load Test project that works perfectly and is able to saves all the perf counter in the LoadTest db as expected.
I wanted to add some specific scenario attributes information to my test run.
Therefore when I create a report in Excel at the end, ill be able to filter based on those attributes
Example:
Environment Attribute: (QA, PreProd, Production)
Target Attribute: (UI, API,..)
I searched everywhere but couldn't find the information. Not sure if I have to create a new table in that DB and populate it myself, or if there is another easier way.
The closest I have achieved to doing what you ask is by modifying the "reporting names" of requests to include the wanted information. On one test I added a test case that executed a small number of times (so few that the overall results would not be skewed). It had two requests. The first collected some data and saved it to a context parameter. The second had a PreRequest plugin that wrote the data to the ReportingName field of that request. (Experiments showed that setting the field in a PostRequest plugin had no effect.)
Another approach I have used is have a PostWebTest plugin that writes a line of useful data to a logging file, so I get one line per test case executed.
It may be possible to add another table to the load test database, but I would wonder whether it would be properly handled by the Open, Import, Export and Delete commands of the Open and Manage Test Results window.
