Manual Changes
APAR Change instructions
Validate that the historyflag field is populated for all records in the inspectionresult table. Run this update:
update inspectionresult set historyflag = 0 where historyflag is null;
When importing the xml, action="AddChange" should be added to the top object PLUSDSPLAN, not to PLUSCDSPOINT or PLUSCDSINSTR. When creating your MXPLUSDSPLAN object structure make sure to set up the object structure with the following hierarchy, so PlusCDSPoint is a child of PlusCDSInstr:
  • Source Object 1:
    • Object: PLUSDSPLAN
  • Source Object 2:
    •  Object: PLUSCDSINSTR
    •  Parent Object: PLUSDSPLAN
    •  Relationship: PLUSDSINSTR
  • Source Object 3:
    •  Object: PLUSCDSPOINT
    •  Parent: PLUSCDSINSTR
    •  Relationship: PLUSCDSINSTRALLPOINT
1. In the WOTRACK application xml, change the applink and dataattribute relationship of Inspection Result attribute (WO main tab -> Job Details section -> Inspection Result attribute) in main tab from INSPECTIONRESULT to INSPECTIONRESULTCHECK. The xml for the inspectionresult attribute in main WO tab is this:
<textbox id="main_grid5_inspresultnum" applink="inspector" applinkrel="inspectionresultcheck.resultnum" menutype="normal" dataattribute="inspectionresultcheck.resultnum" synchronous="true"/>
2. Do the same for Inspection Result attribute present in Plans -> Task for WO -> Inspection Result attribute. The xml for the inspectionresult attribute in plans -> Task for WO{} -> Inspection result attribute is this:
<textbox id="plans_task_table_1_grid32_inspresultnum" applink="inspector" applinkrel="inspectionresultcheck.resultnum""menutype=""normal"" dataattribute="inspectionresultcheck.resultnum" synchronous="true"/>
