newReason['enabled'] = True

# Validate the downtime reason
validationErrors = system.mes.oee.validateDowntimeReason(**newReason)

if not validation_errors:
    print "Validation passed. Downtime reason is valid."
else:
    print "Validation failed. Errors:"
    for field, errors in validationErrors.items():
