Hi Everyone
This had me quite perplexed earlier today - and I thought I should share the issue, since I am 100% positive I have not had this issue in the past.
I am in the middle of implementing OneWorld Xe (Co-existence) for a customer, and as previously mentioned I decided to place them straight onto Update 7 with Service Pack 21(E1). They are on an AS/400 running V5R2.
Now, heres the rub. I implemented the following :
OneWorld Xe
OneWorld Xe Update 7
Planner ESU JD17626
Tools ESU 18815
as well as a couple of application ESU's
I then went ahead into OMW Configuration to go through and setup the Activity Rules (P98230|W98230F) - but when I tried to enter 1 row, I received a strange error that told me the Data Dictionary value was incorrect length blah blah blah (can't remember the actual error message).
I checked the JDE.LOG - and the form seemed to be complaining about OMWTMN1 not having a proper value - this is the "Mandatory" field for Activity Rules. Interestingly enough, the column was not being displayed.
This confused me, and made more confusion when I checked out the application - and changed the event "Dialog is Initialized". At the bottom of the event I added :
Show Grid Column(FC Grid, GC MandatoryFlag)
and lo - the error disappeared ! I have no idea why a hidden column should complain so badly - especially when it seems there is a default value of "0" (valid).
If you have issues with OMW Activity Rules, in a similar vein, I strongly recommend that you add this line to the OMW Configuration application. It seems that ERP 8.0 is not complaining about this (I set up ERP 8.0 last week) - and my guess is that most customers don't go through the activity rules as indepth as I do, so there doesn't seem to be any reference to this anywhere. Of course, Update 7 is also VERY new.......
