How to line break in a Maximo automation script print statement

Hi I am writing an automation script in Maximo that fires on a cron task. I am having trouble inserting a line break in my print statement. I have tried '\n' & just adding a print() in between my prints. Neither are working and all my prints are being packed into one line in my log file.

You could instead use the provided log() method on the service implicit variable to achieve the same result. Every call will generate a line in your log file. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLLAM_7.6.0/com.ibm.mbs.doc/autoscript/r_variables_automation_scripts.html

Also, if you want more control on the log levels, you can get a logger directly from the Logger API which is basically a Log4J wrapper:

from psdi.util.logging import MXLoggerFactory

logger = MXLoggerFactory.getLogger("maximo.integration")
logger.info("Integration logger used from automation script")

You would then control its log level from the Logging application.

Using the log() method will achieve the correct result. If you also do want to still use print I have found out \n will only work if it is preceded by \r in a Maximo automation script like '\r\n'
