We need to use the setValue() method to set values to an attribute. This method allows you to set values of many data types (text, numeric, date/time, boolean, etc.)
Setting value
# Setting string value
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description")
# Setting numeric value
mbo.setValue("PRIORITY", 2)
mbo.setValue("REPLACECOST", 2463.80)
# Setting date value
from psdi.server import MXServer
mbo.setValue("INSTALLDATE", MXServer.getMXServer().getDate())
# Setting boolean value
mbo.setValue("ISRUNNING", False)
Setting value with modifiers
To set values with modifiers, do the following:
from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description", MboConstants.NOACCESSCHECK)
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description", MboConstants.NOVALIDATION)
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description", MboConstants.NOACTION)
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description", MboConstants.NOVALIDATION_AND_NOACTION)
mbo.setValue("DESCRIPTION", "new description", MboConstants.NOVALIDATION_AND_NOACTION_ALLOWCROSSOVER)
