What is meant by the error below? Object WORKORDER: Site=BEDFORD Work Order=3667 cannot be saved with the data that was provided.

Question

Options

• ARecord violates a unique index.
• BRequired attributes have not been set.
• CThe user does not have access to that site.
• DA data restriction would prevent the user from saving the record.

• A
  16% (6)
• B
  11% (4)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  71% (27)

Explanation

Option D is correct because in IBM Maximo, data restrictions are security rules configured by administrators that evaluate the content of a record against defined criteria - when a record's data matches a restriction condition, the system blocks the save and returns this exact error pattern ("cannot be saved with the data that was provided"). The phrase "with the data that was provided" is the key signal: the system accepted the user's action but rejected the underlying field values against a restriction rule.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (unique index): A duplicate/unique constraint violation produces a different error referencing the duplicate key or index, not this generic data-restriction message.
• B (required attributes): Missing required fields trigger field-level validation errors that explicitly name the missing attribute(s), not a save-level restriction message.
• C (site access): Lack of site authorization would prevent the user from even opening or interacting with the record - it wouldn't allow them to reach the save step only to fail there.

Memory tip: Focus on the phrase "with the data that was provided" - it tells you the problem is in the data values, not missing fields (B), not identity/access (C), and not a database duplicate (A). Only a data restriction evaluates the data itself and silently blocks the save based on its content.
