APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  From Mobile First Studio, open the app.xml for work execution
  application
  1. display the location before the asset on screen
  id="WorkExecution.WorkDetailView_workOrder_groupitem_WorkExecuti
  on.EditA
  ssetView_0"  group should be placed after
  WorkExecution.WorkDetailView_workOrder_groupitem_WorkExecution.E
  ditLocat
  ionView_0
  2. Add required="true" to the location section below
  <groupitem
  id="WorkExecution.WorkDetailView_workOrder_groupitem_WorkExecuti
  on.EditL
  ocationView_0" transitionTo="WorkExecution.EditLocationView">
  <text codeScannable="true" editable="true" required="true"
  id="WorkExecution.WorkDetailView_workOrder_groupitem_WorkExecuti
  on.EditL
  ocationView_0_location_Location" label="Location"
  lookup="WorkExecution.LocationLookup" lookupAttribute="location"
  placeHolder="Tap to enter" resourceAttribute="location">
  Click on the Build All icon on the toolbar on top (i.e. the 5th
  icon
  from the left)
  Wait for it to finish building
  click the server tab on the bottom (besides the tasks , console
  tabs)
  click the green arrow button to start the server
  Click the /MaximoAnywhere/adapters folder in the left pane
  right click on right-click OSLCGenericAdapter
  select  run as > deploy Mobile First Adapter
  wait for build and deploy to finish
  Go to WorkExecution folder > right click > Run As > Run on
  First Mobile
  Deployment Server
  Wait for  application  WorkExecution  deployment to finish
  Go to common folder > run as > preview
  clear chrome browser cache
  use the simulator in the incognito mode by presing ctrl + shift
  + n
  first time if will ask you to reload all the data then it will
  hold it
  till you keep the window open, once you close it and open
  another one
  using ctrl + shift + n it will get to reload the stuff again
  so it doesn't cache stuff
  steps to test:
  Bring up an existing WO with location already populated
  Location is marked as a REQUIRED field (i.e. it has an asterisk
  besides
  the field name)
  try to create a follow-up Work Order, it complains about the
  required
  field: "some required fields are empty. Specify the missing
  information"
  Click OK
  the error message pops stays on the screen
  it remains in the WO Details view
  but the new WO is loaded.
  This is intermittent.  I get this behavior once out of ten
  times from
  the chrome simulator
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT: required field error message should
  not stay
  on the screen "some required fields are empty. Specify the
  missing
  information".
  EXPECTED RESULT: no error message
  Additional INFO:
  Local Fix: comment from our consultant,Sanjog Raina:
  if on the screen location is required and it is placed above
  the asset
  then I was getting this error as soon as the handler populated
  the
  asset number, it complained about missing required fields
  So
  followUp.set('asset', originalWorkOrder.get('asset'));
  followUp.set('assetdesc',
  originalWorkOrder.get('maxassetdesc'));
  followUp.set('location', originalWorkOrder.get('location'));
  followUp.set('locationdesc',
  originalWorkOrder.get('maxlocationdesc'));
  followUp.set('worktype', originalWorkOrder.get('worktype'));
   Does not work and if change the order as follows
  followUp.set('worktype', originalWorkOrder.get('worktype'));
  followUp.set('location', originalWorkOrder.get('location'));
  followUp.set('locationdesc',
  originalWorkOrder.get('maxlocationdesc'));
  followUp.set('asset', originalWorkOrder.get('asset'));
  followUp.set('assetdesc',
  originalWorkOrder.get('maxassetdesc'));
  It works
  So effectively we need to set all the fields before setting the
  Location and then the Asset
  Without which it complains about the required fields and locks
  the screen due to which the view does not change
  if I changed the order in which the fields were set in the
  handler, it worked
  ENVIRONMENT (SYSTEM INFO):
  Anywhere 7.6.0.0 TPAE 7.6.0.4
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: N
  SECURITY IMPACT (Y/N): N
  

Local fix

• Change the order in which the fields are set on the
  follow-up workorder.
