IV99292: ACTION LAUNCH POINT AUTOMATION SCRIPT WON'T FIRE PROPERLY ON TABLE COLUMN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:
  We built an automation script and wanted to associate the
  action as a
  table column so it could be hit without having to expand into
  each row
  and find the button. It runs on the first row, but does nothing
  on any
  of the other rows. We can make it work by adding a pushbutton
  in the
  table details, but it's a lot more cumbersome.
  
  ACTION TAKEN:
  replicated on http://mxapps6.canlab.ibm.com/maximo/ui
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Steps to recreate:
  1) Go to Automation Scripts application

  the Test option.

  entries.

  first
  planned labor entry. Our automation script fires and the error
