IJ51455: CHANGE CI STATUS WITH NOACCESSCHECK FLAG BREAKS STATUS PROPAGATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Change CI status with NOACCESSCHECK flag breaks status
  propagation
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE: NO
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Using script to change CI status with mbo.NOACCESSCHECK flag
  breaks status propagation.
  
  The status change is successful but upon checking further, only
  the status of the main CI is changed and every related CI is not
  changed. This leads to wrong data.
  
  Assuming you have: -
  - 1 CINUM with ciid 1001 (ComputerSystem) and it has 1 related
  CI (IP-Interface). All CIs have status NOT READY
  - 1 CINUM with ciid 1002 (ComputerSystem) and it has 1 related
  CI (IP-Interface). All CIs have status NOT READY
  
  Sample script << CITEST.py >>
  ########
  from psdi.server import MXServer
  
  mxServer = MXServer.getMXServer()
  userInfo = mxServer.getSystemUserInfo()
  
  #Change CINUM with ciid 1001 to OPERATING with no flag
  ciSet = mxServer.getMboSet("CI",userInfo)
  ciMbo = ciSet.getMboForUniqueId(1001)
  ciMbo.changeStatus("OPERATING",None,"No flag")
  ciSet.save()
  ciSet.close()
  ciSet.cleanup()
  
  #Change CINUM with ciid 1002 to OPERATING with NOACCESSCHECK
  flag
  ciSet = mxServer.getMboSet("CI",userInfo)
  ciMbo = ciSet.getMboForUniqueId(1002)
  ciMbo.changeStatus("OPERATING",None,"NOACCESSCHECK
  flag",ciMbo.NOACCESSCHECK)
  ciSet.save()
  ciSet.close()
  ciSet.cleanup()
  ########
  
  Use this sample script << CITEST.py >> to reproduce the issue.
  
  1. Login to ICD/Maximo
  2. Go To -> System Configuration -> Platform Configuration ->
  Automation Script
  3. More Actions -> Create -> Action Launch Point
  (a) In Step 1
  Name: RUN
  Action: CITESTRUN
  Object <blank>
  (b) Click Next and in Step 2
  Script: CITEST
  (c) Click Next and in Step 3
  Paste the sample script << CITEST.py >>
  
  (d) Click Create
  4. Open the script and click "Test Script"
  5. Enter "CI" as object path
  7. Click on Test.
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  
  The script changes status on the ComputerSystem (CINUM with ciid
  1001) to OPERATING and the IP-Interface is automatically changed
  to OPERATING as well. So the status propagation works correctly.
  
    ciMbo.changeStatus("OPERATING",None,"No flag")
  
  
  After this, it changes the status of the ComputerSystem (CINUM
  with ciid 1002) to OPERATING but with mbo.NOACCESSCHECK flag. As
  per check, only the status of the ComputerSystem is changed to
  OPERATING, the status of IP-Interface is not changed and remains
  in NOT READY. <-- The issue
    ciMbo.changeStatus("OPERATING",None,"NOACCESSCHECK
  flag",ciMbo.NOACCESSCHECK)
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  
  When you change the status of ComputerSystem with
  mbo.NOACCESSCHECK flag, the status of related CI should
  automatically change too.
