Launch in Context, Locate People with Google Map | IBM Maximo

Launch an external website or call an external API in a context. In our case, the context is an application record we are in.

it means the LIC is used to integrate with other products.
let us discuss it with an example, in People appliation, WILSON's addresses (bill to and ship to) will be displayed on google map.

org's address
ibmbrasil
ibmpakistan

1. in people, filer WILSON
set WILSON's workplace as shipto billto addresses.

2. we will use google api to show marker on map for WILSON's addresses. B for bill-to and S for ship-to
(https://developers.google.com/maps/maps-api-list)

Child Dataset in BIRT using Scripted Data Source | IBM Maximo

developing complex reports for Maximo requires a number of data sets in Birt sometimes. And definately every second dataset is a subset/or dependent of Main dataset. therefore every child dataset takes a parameter as input from MainDataSet.

for example;
A PO data set,
and a POLINE dataset, poline dataset takes PONUM as InputParameter from PO.

1. create a Paramter in PolineDataSet "Edit DataSet"
PONUM, String, Input, NULL
2. In Layout tab, draw table, and in Table Data Binding

a Click on DataSet Parameter Binding (b)
b Click Edit (b)
c type/select row["ponum"]

3. In PoLineDataSet's Open event (4 things)
i data source provider
ii dataset open
iii set query
iv Query Parameters

3(i) SetQuery:
we need to append our where class in (iii) set query part

sqlText = "select * from PO where ponum = ?";

don't forget to comment this line in child dataset "where " + param["where"]

3(ii) Query Parameter:
name first paramater in this line

polineDataset.setQueryParamterValue(1,inputParams["ponum"]);

How do I detect whether 32-bit Java is installed on x64 Windows

java -d64 -version

If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:

This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.

Inventory Issue and Return Debit/Credit Transaction | IBM Maximo

Maximo doesn't use a reverse entry approach but instead Maximo will change the SIGN(-) of LINECOST and GL accounts remains the same.

e.g.
Issuance:
GL Debit = org-222 $1,000
GL Credit = org-111 $1,000

Return:
GL Debit = org-222 $-1,000
GL Credit = org-111 $-1,000

Formula Average Cost of an Item | IBM Maximo

(Old Balance * Old Average Cost) + (Receipt Qty * Receipt Cost) /
(Old Balance + Receipt Qty)

for example:

Old Balance: 0
Old Average Cost: $1000.00
Receipt Qty(one new item purchased): 1
Receipt Cost: $4000.00

(0 x 1000) + (1 x 4000) / (0 + 1) = 4000

New(b), Create Web Service, Create From Object Structure
select MXASSET > and hit Create(b) button

Open newly created MXASSET in list view
in select action menu > deploye to AS web Service Container > Generate Deployement File Entries

now copy this file fro c:\mif\jaxws\deplmodule.dar
to c:\ib\smp\maximo\deployement\ folder

redeploye EAR file (bulidmaximoear.cmd)

after if all goes good

hit this url: http://<host>:<port>/meaweb/wsdl/mxasset.wsdl

Common Question: "how do I define my locations?" | IBM Maximo

One of the most common questions that planners who are trying to implement Maximo have to ask is "how do I define my locations?".

This document helps you define your locations in Maximo.

Defining Locations in Maximo

Configuring Multiple "Go To Application" Options with Lookup | IBM Maximo

suppose in invoice application, there is a PO field from where we can jump back to PO by clicking on "Go to >> Purhcase Order "

Today we are going to set multiple application in this "Go to" ;

A simple tip is here to do that, we just need to append the property of desired field in application designer named "Go to Application".

for example, Open Invoice application in application designer

right click to open properties of PO field
there is already entered a value (PO) in "Go to Application" property.
we just need to append another after PO like this (PO,RECEIPT)

note: don't type a space after comma;

and we are done :)

Save Record When User Moves from One Tab to Another | IBM Maximo

for example in Workorder Tracking Application, when user moves to PLAN tab, record should save.

Export presentation XML file from application designer,

filter workorder tracking application,

note: make a copy (backup)

open XML in notepad

find 'tab' element i.e. <tab id="plans"

add tabchangeevent="save" property in tab element

it will look after adding

<tab id="plans" label="Plans" tabchangeevent="save">

Export Flat file with Enable Event Listner MIF - IBM Maximo

2. Publish Channel

New > D-Person Demo Publish Channel Person AQ_PERSON_PC
Operation: Publish
Object Struction: D-Person AQ_PERSON_OS
Action > Enable Event Listner
Action > Message Tracking > Enable Message Tracking Flag : True > Ok(b)

Change Status using REST API integrated in HTML | IBM MAXIMO

REST API (Representational State Transfer) (Application Programming Interface)
it was introduced in 7501, a new protocol to integrate Maximo with external systems.
Its a part of Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) works and can be use to CRUD.
With Business objects (Mbo) and Object structures (OS)

Useful Links

For example, lets try to change the stautus of a Workorder using REST API

create a html file named index.html
paste this code into it.

Modify "Change Status" Description | IBM Maximo

Create a Child Table Using Table Control | IBM Maximo

1. First, drag and drop a table control in Maximo, set properties as below:

Data Source Id: main_tasks_table
Relationship: Master_Detail_Relation (master to detail main relationship)

2. Drag a Default value control and set properties as below:

From Data Source ID: MAINRECORD

From Attribute: ParentTableID

Attribute: ChildTableID

--------------

or it can be done with an automation script.

For instance, the table ( prchild ) is a child of the PR table. So just write an automation script and name it as below:

NAME: PRCHILD.NEW

owner=mbo.getOwner()
if owner and owner.isBasedOn("PR"):
mbo.setValue("PRNUM",owner.getString("PRNUM"))
mbo.setValue("SITEID",owner.getString("SITEID"))
