APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Description
  When the status is changed using MIF and changeby information is
  sent, Maximo is not using the value sent in the transaction to
  fill in the WORKORDER and WOSTATUS table. It is using the user
  logged in to send the transaction.
  
  This problem happens with any object that has STATUS field.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  The steps below will use MAXDEMO data and WORKORDER object as
  example:
  
  1)Go to Maximo and create a new Work Order where wonum is PF001.
  
  
  2)POST the transaction below:
  
  URL:
  http://SERVER/maximo/oslc/os/mxwo?lean=1&_lid=marcus&_lpwd=maxa

  "orgid": "EAGLENA",
  "siteid": "BEDFORD",
  "changeby":"WILSON",
  "status":"APPR"
  }
  
  
  RESULTS:
  
  Executing the queries below:
  
  select changeby,wonum from workorder where wonum = 'PF001';
  select changeby,wonum from wostatus where wonum = 'PF001' and
  status = 'APPR';
  
  The value used on changeby was MARCUS.
