Maximo – Automation scripts

I’ve started to be working on the Maximo project. Anyway, I’ve found and customized few automation scripts in Jython that are checking user’s input in Self Service Center offerings (in my case) but can be placed almost in every field. 

# separated by dots (.)
 #valid number between 0 255
 errmsg = ''
 rc = 1
 ipList = newValue.split('.')
 if len(ipList) == 4:
    for i in ipList:
       try:
          i = int(i)
       except:
          rc = 0
          errmsg = i, ' is not a valid number. IP Addresses must contain valid numbers'
          break
       if i > 255:
          rc = 0
          errmsg = i, ' is greater than 255. Valid IP Addresses are between 0 and 255.'
          break
 else:
    rc = 0
    errmsg = 'IP Addresses must be in the form nn.nn.nn.nn'
 print rc
 print errmsg

Check that the end date comes after the start date from java.text import SimpleDateFormat
 

fmt = SimpleDateFormat('MM/dd/yyyy')
 rc = 1
 errmsg = ''
 
 # get the fields
 startdatestr = offeringAttributes.getValue("STARTDATE");
 enddatestr = offeringAttributes.getValue("ENDDATE");
 
 # if both have values, format them, and ensure the enddate is after the start date
 if len(startdatestr) > 0 and len(enddatestr) > 0:
 startdate = fmt.parse(startdatestr)
 enddate = fmt.parse(enddatestr)
 if enddate.before(startdate):
 rc = 0
 errmsg = 'End Date must be greater than Start Date'
 
 print rc
 print errmsg

Build and set the value of the server field based on the hostname field

property= offeringAttributes.getValue("HOSTNAME");
 dhostname = newValue+'.'+property+'.abc.com'offeringAttributes.setNewValue("SERVER",server);
 print True
 

# make sure the value specified is all valid digits
 rc = True
 errmsg = ''
 if newValue.isdigit() == False:
  rc = False
  errmsg = 'Value must be numeric'
 print rc
 print errmsg
