APAR Change instructions
To solve this issue, a unique index might need to be created on the ponum, revisionnum, polinenum, and siteid columns.
 
Steps to be Performed Before Creating the Unique Index:
 
Step 1: Remove Duplicate Records
1. Ensure that there are no duplicate entries for ponum, revisionnum, polinenum, and siteid.
2. Run the following query to check for duplicates: 
SELECT
	ponum,
	revisionnum,
	polinenum,
	siteid,
	count(*)
FROM
	poline
GROUP BY
	ponum,
	revisionnum,
	polinenum,
	siteid
having
	count(*) > 1;
3. If this query returns any records, manually address the duplicates (either by deleting or correcting them) before proceeding. This ensures that data integrity is maintained before the index is enforced.

Step 2: Check for Existing Index
1. Run the following query to check if an index already exists on these columns. Alternatively, go to Database Configuration, search for POLINE Object and check the list of Indexes on the Index tab to verify if any such index already exists on POLINE object.
Note: The out-of-the-box POLINE_NDX10 index exists on these columns but is not unique.
Query to Find Existing Index (SQL Server):
SELECT
	i.name AS IndexName,
	i.is_unique AS IsUnique
FROM
	sys.indexes i
JOIN sys.index_columns ic ON
	i.index_id = ic.index_id
	AND i.object_id = ic.object_id
JOIN sys.columns c ON
	ic.column_id = c.column_id
	AND ic.object_id = c.object_id
WHERE
	i.object_id = OBJECT_ID('dbo.poline')
	AND c.name IN ('ponum', 'revisionnum', 'polinenum', 'siteid')
GROUP BY
	i.name,
	i.is_unique
HAVING
	COUNT(c.name) = 4;
Query to Find Existing Index (Oracle database):
SELECT
	i.index_name,
	i.uniqueness AS IsUnique
FROM
	user_indexes i
JOIN user_ind_columns c ON
	i.index_name = c.index_name
WHERE
	i.table_name = 'POLINE'
	AND c.column_name IN ('PONUM', 'REVISIONNUM', 'POLINENUM', 'SITEID')
GROUP BY
	i.index_name,
	i.uniqueness
HAVING
	COUNT(c.column_name) = 4;
Query to Find Existing Index (Db2):
SELECT
	i.NAME AS IndexName,
	i.UNIQUERULE AS IsUnique
FROM
	MAXIMO.MAXSYSINDEXES i
JOIN MAXIMO.MAXSYSKEYS k ON
	i.NAME = k.IXNAME
WHERE
	i.TBNAME = 'POLINE'
	AND k.COLNAME IN ('PONUM', 'REVISIONNUM', 'POLINENUM', 'SITEID')
GROUP BY
	i.NAME,
	i.UNIQUERULE
HAVING
	COUNT(DISTINCT k.COLNAME) = 4;
3. If the result of the above query is not empty. Check if a unique index already exists on the same four columns. If it is already a unique index, the user might not need to create a new unique index.

Step 3: Handling Non-Unique Index
1. If the index is not unique, take note of the index (for example out-of-box non-unique index, POLINE_NDX10), which might be the existing non-unique index.
2. Go to Database Configuration Application and Remove the non-unique index from the Alternate Index field for the POLINE object on the Object tab.
3. Go to the Index Tab, and delete the non-unique index (POLINE_NDX10).
4. Save the record.

Step 4: Create a New Unique Index
1. Go to Database Configuration Application > Go to the Index Tab > Add a new index
2. Index name: UNIQUE_POLINE_NDX10
3. Storage Partition: MAXINDEX
4. Enforce Uniqueness? Yes
5. Add columns in the following order - PONUM, REVISIONNUM, POLINENUM, SITEID
6. Set the newly created UNIQUE_POLINE_NDX10 index as the alternate index (MAXOBJECTCFG.ALTIXNAME) for the POLINE object from the Database Configuration Application on the Object tab.
7. Save and apply the configuration changes. Be sure to take a database backup and perform the changes in Admin Mode.
