Object scripts

Before you create object scripts, review information about object launch point, new object scripts, duplicate object scripts, and object relation scripts.

Object launch point
This launch point enables you to run scripts for Maximo® business object (MBO) events, initialize and save point, add, update and delete. In addition to those events, this launch point also uses the pre-add or can add and pre-delete or can delete events that can control whether an MBO can be added or deleted. You can configure a launch point to listen to one or more of these events at the same time. The script has access to the event MBO by using the implicit variable mbo, the MboSet and all the related MBOs. To create scripts that use an object launch point, in the Automation Scripts application, click Create > Script with Object Launch Point.
New object scripts
New object scripts are run only when you create a new object, such as a new work order. These scripts are not run when you load an existing object from the database.
Duplicate object scripts
You can use duplicate object scripts to perform actions when objects are duplicated. For example, you can use a duplicate object script to duplicate a custom child object when duplicating objects.
Object relation scripts
An object relation script is an automation script without a launch point. This script is used to define smart relations, which are relations that use conditional SQL in the where clause.
