1. Create your doclinks folder
Create a folder, e.g. c:\doclinks
and a sub-folder, e.g. c:\doclinks\default
2. Configure System Properties
You need to configure the following system properties
Restart your MXServer.
3. Change httpd.conf (e.g. in my case C:\IBM\HTTPServer\conf\httpd.conf)
Open the httpd.conf and add the following section to the end of the file
Restart the HTTP Server.
You can than check if you can access your doclinks folder by entering http://<servername>/doclinks (e.g. http://localhost/doclinks) in your browser.
4. Configure Attachment folders in Maximo
Open any Application in Maximo (e.g. Assets) and select "Attachment Library/Folders > Manage Folders" by using Select Action.
Change the Default File Path for each folder in this list
suppose for images folder to c:\doclinks\images.
If the folder doesn't exist, it will be automatically created for you. Only c:\doclinks has to be already present.
Create a folder, e.g. c:\doclinks
and a sub-folder, e.g. c:\doclinks\default

- mxe.doclink.doctypes.defpath => c:\doclinks\default
- mxe.doclink.doctypes.topLevelPaths => c:\doclinks
- mxe.doclink.path01 => c:\doclinks=http://<servername>/doclinks

Alias /doclinks "D:/doclinks"

You can bypass step 3 if you make your defpath as part of htdocs (publically web access URL).
