Maximo APIs are grouped into modules based on the functional aspect of the software they cater to.
Here is the link to the list of all modules and then proceed with swagger to open one by one based on the need/requirements.

or use direct link to open selected API in swagger with actions =1 or 0 for no
https://localhost/maximo/oas3/api.html?module=PURCHASE&includeactions=0
for example, a service specifically for asset, another is for workflow, and so on.
Also, some of the services work globally like Escalations service.
If we look into the log, we can see something like
BMXAA6348I - The ASSET service is initializing.
BMXAA6348I - The WORKFLOW service is initializing.
So as mentioned above, there are 2 types of AppServices
1. App-related services
Is it possible to see the last workflow message when I open any record just beside/below the status field?
Solution:
Yes, It is possible with 2 different approaches. Let take this example and display the last memo in work order application.
A. Directly with the relationship, no need for a view also.
B. Create a View to handle a query
A. Start with easy way, just relationship and display the field
These 2 events fire immediate and do not even wait for the framework to save/insert the record.
Allow Object Creation - canAdd() method of mbo framework
Creation is bit tricky because it runs when there is no record. And because there is no record there is no mbo the implicit variable. In that case, we use "mboset" as
if mboset.getOwner() is not None and mboset.getOwner().getName()=="PO" and mboset.getOwner().isNull("vendor"):
service.error("PO", "vendor is null")
Allow Object Delete - canDelete() method of mbo framework
Deletion is simple if we throw an error, the system will prompt with an error and stop further processing, and the record will not be deleted.
if mbo.getOwner() is not None and mbo.getOwner().getName()=="PO" and !mbo.getOwner().isNull("vendor"):
service.error("PO", "vendor is not null")
