Maximo Resend failed transactions via Publish channel using Automation Script

What ?
Resending failed transactions from Maximo to External System via Publish Channel using Automation Script

Why ? 

In Maintenance projects, we are requested to resend a bulk of transactions to External System on cases where outage/connection failure in the middleware.

Data Export functionality in External System --> Publish Channel tab offers the way to retrigger the records to End point. But, for the large number of records, it will take a lot of time.

How ?

We can automate it using an Object Launch Point Automation Script.

code resendpublishchannel.py

Use Maximo MeaGlobal directory to store the file and read it from the automation script:

• SaaS Maximo 7.6.x MeaGlobal directory = ./MeaGlobalDirs
• MAS 8.x  MeaGlobal directory =  /MeaGlobalDirs

sample whereClause file

How to run the script ?

Activate the script and launch point to execute the script

Click on the "Test Script" button

If you have enabled the Message Tracking for the publish channel in the script, you can view the outbound message sent to End point.

Please disable the Launch Point and Automation Script after resending the transactions, because it will impact the Maximo functionality on the Action application.

Note: Resending transactions to External System would cause financial mismatch or reconciliation with Maximo. Please consult with end users before resending them.
