IV60569: PM GENERATED LOTS OF DUPLICATE WORK ORDERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• From L3: Logs provided led me to find the root cause. I approve
  APAR
  creation for this PMR. The problem occurs when PM wogen is using
  pmforecast records AND workflow specified by maxvar
  WFONPMGENERATION is
  enabled and active. When this workflow is executed, the
  deletions of
  pmforecast records that occur as they are processed within PM
  wogen are
  never committed. When this workflow is not executed, this
  problem does
  not occur.

  This APAR is a duplicate of IV52148. The problem occurs when PM
  wogen is using pmforecast records AND workflow (as specified by
  maxvar WFONPMGENERATION) is enabled and active. When this
  workflow is executed, the deletion of pmforecast records as they
  are processed within PM wogen do not occur. Without forecasting
  and workflow, this problem does not occur. The fix for this
  defect is in the initial Release 7.5.0.6 fix pack under APAR
  IV52148.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code fix insures that forecast records are deleted as they are
  used during PM work order generation when work flow is in use.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  package:
  	| release\fix pack\interim fix for Release 7.5.0.6 of Base
