IJ35713: MXE.APP.WORKORDER.STATUSTOCREATEINSPECTION AND MXE.APP.WORKORDER.INSPECTIONBATCHRECORD ARE MISSING IN MAXIMO 7.6.1.2

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• System properties mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection and
  mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord are missing in Maximo
  7.6.1.2. Also, these properties are incorrectly set to
  user-defined. Any property that is being checked in the OOTB
  code should be created automatically. It looks like these System
  Properties were added to version Maximo 7.6.1.3 with the User
  Defined set to true as a mistake. It does not appear that the
  addition of these properties was properly backported to 7.6.1.2.
  
  
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to IBM\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\businessobjects\cla
  sses\psdi\app\workorderand look for WO.class in your Maximo 7.6.
  2. Decompile it and look for properties,
  mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection and
  mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord in the code.
  3. With the below script information provided, either these 2
  properties can be added manually from Maximo > System Properties
  > Platform Configuration > System Properties or can be added by
  putting the below information in a .dbc file and running it
  using runscriptfile found at <maximo_root>\tools\maximo\internal
  (By default RunScriptFile looks the tools\maximo\en\script
  directory for the script):
  
  runscriptfile.bat -f<script>  or
  runscriptfile.sh -f<script>
  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE script SYSTEM "script.dtd">
  
  <script author="DUCKS" scriptname="V7613_81">
    <description>Create batch records for Inspections in the same
  Work Order, regardless of its hierarchy.</description>
  	<statements>
  		<drop_property
  name="mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord"/>
  		<add_property name="mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord"
  
  			description="Create batch records for Inspections in the
  same Work Order, regardless of its hierarchy"
  			maxtype="YORN"
  			scope="global"
  			secure_level="secure"
  			live_refresh="true"
  			required="true"
  			online_changes="true"
  			user_defined="true"
  			default_value="0"
  			encrypted="false"
  		/>
  		<drop_property
  name="mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection"/>
  		<add_property
  name="mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection"
  
  			description="Specify the internal WO statuses that trigger
  the creation of an inspection results record."
  			maxtype="ALN"
  			scope="global"
  			secure_level="secure"
  			live_refresh="true"
  			required="true"
  			online_changes="true"
  			user_defined="true"
  			default_value="WAPPR"
  			encrypted="false"
  		/>
  	</statements>
  </script>
  
  4. This script shows that user_defined="true" which should not
  be the case.
  
  Actual Result:
  mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection and
  mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord looks not properly
  backported from Maximo 7.6.1.3 to 7.6.1.2. And user_defined for
  these 2 properties should not be set to true. And user_defined
  for these 2 properties is set to true( user_defined="true").
  
  Expected Result:
  mxe.app.workorder.StatusToCreateInspection and
  mxe.app.workorder.InspectionBatchRecord should be backported
  from Maximo 7.6.1.3 to 7.6.1.2. And user_defined for these 2
  properties should not be set to true, it should be set as
  user_defined="false".
