IJ40338: BMXAA4196E - ATTRIBUTE JOB PLAN MUST BE SET BEFORE JOB PLAN REVISION NUMBER CAN BE SET.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The error BMXAA4196E - Attribute Job Plan must be set before Job
  Plan Revision Number can be set is received when user defined
  fields are copied from a Job Plan over to a Work Order when we
  try and apply a job plan to a work order.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Stepes to add user defined fields to both work order and job
  plan objects.
  
  1.Open the datbase configuration application and bring the Job
  plan application to the screen. Move the attributes tab, 3 user
  defined attributes need to be added. BYSERVICE (Type: UPPER,
  Length: 16) and BYSERVICELINE (Type: UPPER, Length: 16).
  
  2. Add the same 2 fields from step 1 to the work order object as
  well. Save and perform a databse configuration.
  
  The next step will be to add the user created fields to the
  screen via the application designer.
  
  4. Open the application designer for the job plan applicaiton
  and add 2 text boxes to the job plan tab. Open the properties
  and associate one line to the BYSERVICE attribute and the other
  to BYSERVICELINE. Save and repeate the same steps for the work
  order tracking application.
  
  We now need to create the crossover domain that will move the
  data from the job plan application to the work order tracking
  application.
  
  5. Open the domains application and create a new crossover
  domain. Object=jobplan.
  
  List Where Clause:  jpnum=:jpnum and ((orgid=:orgid and
  siteid=:siteid) or (orgid=:orgid and siteid is null) or (orgid
  is null and siteid=:siteid) or (orgid is null and siteid is
  null)) and PLUSCREVNUM=:PLUSCJPREVNUM and status in (select
  value from synonymdomain where domainid='JOBPLANSTATUS' and
  maxvalue ='ACTIVE')
  
  Validation Where clause: 1=1
  
  Crossover Fields:
  
  Source Field = BYSERVICE, BYSERVICELINE
  
  The Destination field will match the name of the source:
  
  Destination Field: BYSERVICE, BYSERVICELINE
  
  Save the new domain and make note of the name. Move to the
  database configuration application and open the work order
  tracking application.
  
  6. In database configuration with the work order obect on
  screen, move to the attributes tab and search for the
  PLUSCJPREVNUM attribute. Once found add the name of the
  crossover domain created earlier to the domains field. Save the
  changes and perform another database configuration.
  
  We have set up Maximo as needed, we can now test the issue.
  
  7. Create a new job plan and populate all needed fields, make
  sure to add details to the 2 text fields we added in earlier
  steps. Approve the job plan.
  
  8. Create a new Preventive Maintenance record and add the job
  plan created earlier, add an asset and the needed frequency
  information. Approive the record and generate a new work order,
  note the work order number.
  
  9. Open the work order and notice that the job plan has been
  attached and the data has crossover as needed.
  
  10. From the more actions menu use the remove work plan option,
  the job plan is removed. Now try and add a new job plan and the
  error is thrown:
  
  
  BMXAA4196E - Attribute Job Plan must be set before Job Plan
  Revision Number can be set.
  
  The same error is thrown if we open the work order tracking
  application and try and attach a job plan to a work order that
  has no job plan.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  That new job plan would have been attached.
