One of the main features of Maximo is to create workflows to manage the life cycle of the different documents provided by Maximo, such as: Work Orders, Purchase Orders, Service Requests, etc.
Using WorkFlowService class
In case you need to route a workflow with a certain business logic, it would be as follows:
# Route a workflow
from psdi.server import MXServer
# getting the workflow service
workflowService = MXServer.getMXServer().lookup("WORKFLOW")
# starting workflow instance for the current mbo
workflowService.initiateWorkflow("MyWorkflow", mbo)
Using ScriptService class
You can also invoke a Workflow like this:
# Route a workflow
service.invokeWorkflow("MyWorkflow")
Stopping a Workflow Instance
You can stop an active workflow instance using WorkFlowService class and its method stopWorkflow.
# Stop an active workflow instance
from psdi.server import MXServer
# getting the workflow service
workflowService = MXServer.getMXServer().lookup("WORKFLOW")
# getting the active instances for the current mbo
wfinstanceMboSet = workflowService.getActiveInstances(mbo)
# stopping the first active instance for the current mbo
wfinstanceMboSet.moveFirst().stopWorkflow("stopped WF using Script")
