IJ40060: COMPLIANCESTARTCRONTASK INSTANCE NOT CREATED FOR SKDPROJECTID>999

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The ComplianceStartCronTask instance does not get created unless
  you change the Schedule Frequency value in Graphical
  Scheduling's Compliance tab. This is happening for projects with
  SKDPROJECTID>999
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Go to Cron Task Setup application and select record
  SKDComplianceStartCronTask
  There is no existing instance for this crontask.
  In Work Order Tracking, create a WO record for a Location. In
  Plans tab and Labor subtab, enter a Craft for a number of
  hours.
  Save and approve the WO.
  Create a saved query for this WO.
  In Graphical Scheduling, create a new Schedule and Calendar =
  DAY.
  The Start Date (system date) and End Date (Sysdate + 14 days)
  are populated automatically.
  Do Copy Query and reference the saved query for this WO.
  Save the Schedule record.
  Click on the Compliance tab and Details sub-tab.
  Enter:
  Schedule Compliance Start Date = enter system date
  Duration = 2
  Duration Units = WEEKS
  Schedule Compliance End Date = is populated automatically with
  system date + 2 weeks
  Check the Cron Active? box.
  Save the Schedule record.
  Schedule Frequency = 1d,0,0,0,,,,,, and leave it
  unchanged.
  Do NOT click on Start Compliance button.
  Go back to Cron Task Setup application and select
  SKDComplianceStartCronTask: there is NO new instance created
  for it.
  
  RESULT:
  A new instance does not get created for ComplianceStartCronTask
  unless you change the Schedule Frequency value from its default
  of 1d,0,0,0,,,,,, in Graphical Scheduling's Compliance tab
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  The Schedule Frequency value in Graphical Scheduling's
  Compliance tab should be either empty initially or updated
  automatically to match the values from the Duration and Duration
  Units fields, so that the ComplianceStartCronTask
  instance gets created thanks to the Schedule Frequency's correct
  value.
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  Maximo Asset Management  7.6.1.1
  

Local fix

• Go back to the Schedule record.
  Open the dialog for Schedule Frequency field and change to
  'Every 14 Days' to match the Duration and Duration Units values.
  
  This time, Schedule Frequency = 14d,0,0,0,,,,,,
  Save the record.
  Go to Cron Task Setup: this time, a new instance has been
  created for SKDComplianceStartCronTask.
