Workflows can be programmatically initiated in Maximo using WorkFlowService class. Here is a sample Automation Script for a new record:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | from psdi.util import MXExceptionfrom psdi.server import MXServertry: # only initiate workflow for new records if(mbo.isNew()): mxs = MXServer.getMXServer() wfstart = mxs.lookup('WORKFLOW') # replace the 'processName' with the workflow process you want to initiate wfstart.initiateWorkflow("processName",mbo) except Exception, e: print(e) |
In the above script, we need to replace the processName with the workflow process we want to initiate.
The launch point for the Automation Script should be ‘
After Save'. Please note that ‘Before Save'may not work in certain situations for initiating the workflow.
