IJ05195: GA-RF: LOCATION NAMES WITH UNDERSCORE CHARACTERS IN THEM PREVENT ASSIGNMENTS FROM BEING MADE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the Graphical Assignment - Repair Facilities (GA-RF)
  application if the Location names have underscore characters in
  them, it prevents assignments from being made.
  
  Reproduced in 7.6.0.8 and 7.6.0.9
  
  To enable repair facilities you must first go to the
  Organizations application and go to the "Work Order Options"
  from the "Select Action" menu. From there, select "Other
  Organization Options".
  Once the options are displayed, check the "Enable Repair
  Facilities?" check box to enable this option. In addition you
  may also want to check the "Bypass Site Mismatch Warning
  Message?" depending on whether or not you want to allow a
  warning to be displayed if the location is not within your
  current site.
  
  After enabling repair facilities to be used, you can go to the
  Locations application and create a repair facility by setting
  the type to REPAIR.
  In addition you'll need to check the "Is a Repair Facility?"
  check box.
  
  If you use an environment that has the 761 Hangar Location data
  in it you can just enter a new Location as specified below.
  
  1. Create new Location with underscore ( _ ) in its name such as
  TEST_LOC.    Set the Type to OPERATING.
  Check the Is a Repair Facility? checkbox.
  2. Set its parent as 761HANGAR1.
  3. Give it Calendar DAY and Shift COMP1 as those are used on
  the GA-RF Work List 761_RF_DEMO.
  4. Go to GA-RF and use 761_RF_DEMO.
  5. Refresh the Work List so it sees the new Location.
  6. Click on the Assignment View tab
  7. Your new Location with the Underscrore should now be listed
  in the 761HANGAR1 hierarchy.
  8. Drag one of the requrements down to the new location's row.
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  
  It will turn green but when you save, it will go back up to the
  unassigned section instead of staying on the Location row where
  it should stay.
  When you look  at the Assignment tab for the Work Order in
  WOTrack the Location Assignment will be blank.
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  
  The green bar should stay on the Location row where you placed
  it.
  The Location Assignment on the Assignment tab in WOTrack should
  be populated with the Location name and date/time and its
  status should be Assigned.
