Automation Script: If FieldA = 1, then set FieldB to 'one'

I'm trying to break down this problem into manageable parts: Spatial query.

I think the first step is to create an automation script that does this:

• Takes a value from a field
• Does something with it
• Returns a value to a different field

For example:

1. Create a new work order
2. Manually enter the WONUM as 1
3. Save
4. The action of saving automatically triggers an automation script
5. The script checks to see if the WONUM = 1
6. If true, then the DESCRIPTION is populated with the word one

How can I do this?

(Maximo 7.6.1.1)

Use the below code to set the DESCRIPTION to one when WONUM is set to 1.

Launch Point Details:

1. Launch Point Type: Object Launch Point
2. Object: WORKORDER
3. Event: Save
4. Save: Add (Before Save)

Python Code:

from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
wonum = mbo.getString("WONUM")
if wonum == "1":
    mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION","one",MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)

I hope this answers your question!
