IJ18464: GRAPHICAL SCHEDULER - PERCENTAGE AND TASK COMPLETE METHODS NOT WORKING WITHOUT LOGGING OUT FIRST

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the skdprojectid is greater than 1000, sometimes it is
  incorrectly formatted internally as 1043 or as 1,043, which is
  causing confusion with the internal models.
  Once you have a project with a skdprojectid that is greater
  than 1000, for example 1043, the SKDAppService.cachedModels
  will be corrupted.  You will have two MXGanttModel for the same
  project in the cache:  one with key *1043, the other with key
  *1,043.
  Sample cachedModels entries:
  {01361_MAXADMIN2=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask@99103949,
  01361_MAXADMIN1043=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask@2283121d,
  01361_MAXADMIN3=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask@e8362c5c,
  01361_MAXADMIN1,043=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask@59f2370f,
  01361_MAXADMIN1,042=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask@20f18c9f}
  This is due to some code using getString("skdprojectid") to
  cache (1,043) while some code uses the long value to string
  (1043) to
  the cache.  This double caching may cause some parts to use one
  model and some parts to use another model.  This will cause
  problematic behaviors.   Not populating the Task % Complete is
  one of them.
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Prerequisite:   Use database tools to set it so that the next
  value selected for SKDPROJECTID will be greater than 1000.
  1. Create 3 new work orders in the Work Order Tracking
  application.
  2. For the first one give it Duration 5 and Physical Percent
  Complete of 50.
  3. For the second one give it Duration 8 and Physical Percent
  Complete of 25.
  4. For the third one give it Duration 10 and Physical Percent
  Complete of 0
  5. Create a new Schedule in Graphical Scheduler.
  Calendar/Shift DAY/DAY.
  6. Create a Work Query to select the new work order.
  7. On the More Information tab pick PHYSICAL for the Percent
  Complete Calculation Method.
  8. Save and click on the Graphical View.
  9. Click on Calculate % Complete on More Actions.   You will
  see the summary bar go partially green as it rolls up the PC.
  10. On work order 3, right click and go to Work Order Tracking.
  11. Change its Physical Percent Complete to 5.   Save and
  Return.
  12. Click on Discard Changes and Refresh to see the 5 update on
  work order 3.
  13. Click on Calculate % Complete from  More Actions.
  RESULTS:
  The log makes references to the SKDPROJECTID with the
  "thousands" separator in it.  The Percent Complete would not
  summarize until the user logged off
  and then logged back in.   The thought being that somehow the
  internal structures broke into 2, one for 1003 and one for
  1,003 (or whatever value you have for SKDPROJECTID over 1000)
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  The Percent Complete to summarize correctly and for the first
  time as well.
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  Scheduler 7.6.1.0
