IJ14509: IN GRAPHICAL SCHEDULING DISCARD CHANGES AND REFRESH SELECTED WORK RECORDS OPTION DOES NOT WORK IF SCHEDULED DATES ARE NULL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Graphical Scheduling (GS) you can right click on a WO and
  choose to do a Discard and Refresh just on the selected
  records.    This does not work if the Scheduled Dates on the
  record are null.   If you do Discard Changes and Refresh for
  all records from the Common Actions menu it works correctly.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a work order with a Target Start Date, Planned Labor,
  and a Duration. Do not populate Scheduled Dates.
  2. Create a Graphical Schedule for that work order.
  3. Observe the work order is displayed in the Graphical View of
  the Schedule with the Target Start Date as the Start Date and
  an End Date corresponding to the duration.
  4. Right click on the WO and click on Go To Work Order Tracking.
  5, Change the Duration on the work order in Work Order
  Tracking.   Save.   Return to GS.
  5. In the Scheduler, select the work order and choose the
  "Discard Changes and Refresh Selected Work Records" option from
  the right click menu.
  
  RESULTS:
  
  An error displays: BMXAT0050E The project data failed to
  populate into scheduler tables for project (the name of the
  schedule). For more information, check the Maximo log file (in
  your application server directory) or contact your system
  administrator.
  Start and end times cannot be null.
  
       NOTE: if you choose the Discard Changes and Refresh option
  for the entire schedule, no error displays and the duration is
  updated.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  For the duration to be updated.
  
  VERSION:
  
  7.6.0.9 with IFix 014 and on pre-GA 7.6.1.1.
