IJ38777: MAXIMO ALLOWS OLDER STATUS DATES ON STATUS CHANGES TO A SYNONYM OF CURRENT STATUS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a user is changing the status to a different value of the
  same synonym status, such as OPERATING & ACTIVE on the
  LOCASSETSTATUS domain both having an internal value of
  OPERATING, they can provide any status date including historical
  dates prior to all other status dates.
  
  
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  
  Steps to recreate (Location):
  1) In application designer, open the LOCATION application
  2) From the Edit dialogs, open the "locstatus" dialog
  3) Change the input mode on ASOFDATE so that it's editable (it's
  set to read-only out of box). Save
  4) Go to the locations application
  5) Open a location in the OPERATING status such as ADDR2001 in
  site BEDFORD. Look at the status date of the record in the view
  history dialog (ADDR2001 has a status date of 1/14/99)
  6) Open the change status dialog. Choose a status that is a
  synonym of OPERATING (such as ACTIVE) and provide a status date
  prior to the recorded status date (IE 1/1/99).
  7) The change status will go through. Open the View History and
  you'll see your status change is recorded with the date you
  provided (1/1/99) even though it was before the previous date.
  
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULTS:
  
  
  Changes the Record Status Date to an Earlier Date when synonym
  Statuses is used
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  
  Should not be allowed to change the date to be earlier than
  the previous status change with or without a synonym being used
  and throw the error "BMXAA4673E - The status change date cannot
  be earlier than the date of the last status change." as when a
  NON Synonym status is used.
  
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: No
  
  
  ENVIRONMENT:
  
  Tivoli's process automation engine 7.6.1.2-IFIX20211022-0031
