Using Autoaccept and Autoreject in Workflow

Technote (FAQ)

Question

How do you use the Autoaccept (or Autoreject) feature in Workflow?

Answer

Occasionally you need to have Workflow directly process through a Task node without stopping. One purpose of this is to force a Save to the database for the record in Workflow. 

Another way to force a Save is described in this Technote:

Escalating a Workflow Assignment to a Different User

Technote (FAQ)

Question

Is it possible to have a workflow assignment automatically reassigned or escalated after a certain amount of time has passed?

Cause

In Maximo 4 and 5 to do an Escalation in Workflow all you did was to populate the 3 Escalation related fields on the Assignment row in Task Properties. This changed starting with Maximo 6. To get the same functionality as in Maximo 4 and 5 you must use this procedure.

Answer

GL account validation configuration

select * from maxvars where varname in ('DISABLEGLSWITCH', 'GLCHECKCOA', 'GLVALIDATEFP', 'GLSETDATEFP', 'GLREQUIREDFORTRANS');

Automatic integration message reprocessing

Technote (FAQ)

Question

How can I retry or delete a large number of messages without using the user interface to process small sets of messages for hours.

Answer

If you can identify the exact set of messages with a query against the MAXINTERROR table, then you can create an escalation to delete them or to change the status to RETRY.
