Customers from time to time have noticed that the Maximo system stops responding. When the environment is reviewed, the database has locks on SIB related tables.  This is a case where the issue is not primarily because of SIB tables but due to the fact that the SIB tables are the victim of Maximo system freezing and holding locks on the SIB tables. If Maximo integration components are writing to JMS Queues using the database storage, then SIB tables are created and used in the database.  Whenever Maximo writes data or reads data from... [More]

Do you want to know how you can crossover values from pm to the work order hierarchies which pm generated? How you can crossover additional values from ticket and work order to workview?   How you can... [More]

Recently, I encountered a use case of crossover domain that worth blogging about.    The concept of crossover domain is simple.

For example, you want to “crossover” the item’s description when you are putting the item on the purchase order that you are creating.    Crossover domain is a... [More]

Alternately, script code can be imported as the Automation Script wizards are used to create new launch point and script.

Script compilation At... [More]
