Troubleshooting
Problem
Maximo allows the user to save an event with an action that has a date earlier than the event date. An error message then appears. "BMXAM0510E - The action date cannot be before the event date. Enter a valid data value in the Action Date field.". After the user clicks the Close button, Maximo allows the event to be saved anyway.
Cause
The message appears to give an impression that it should not allow user to carry out the save action.
Environment
Asset Configuration manager 7.5.0.2
Resolving The Problem
The message shown when an Action Date is specified which is before the Event Date has always been raised as a warning message.
This means that the message is displayed but does not prevent the save of the Event.
It appears though that when this code was incorporated as part of the Maximo ACM product, the message text was changed and incorrectly marked as an error.
To correct this the following SQL can be executed to update the message text and change the message type to be a warning as was originally intended:
UPDATE MAXMESSAGES SET MSGID='BMXAM0510W', VALUE='The action date
entered is before the event date. Please verify the action date is
correct and save the event again to confirm.' WHERE MSGID='BMXAM0510E';
