“Are you sharing?” As the rush of adrenaline ripped thru me during last week’s client web conference ….I quickly opened different browsers, logged in as multiple users, and emailed files…in the quest to share my presentation and demo with everyone.

Creating and activating an Organization in Maximo Asset Management
Sometimes, there is an specific need to
deploy Maximo without those default demonstration data that comes
within the installation. Following this idea, I wanted to share
this simple post about creating and activating a brand new
Organization into Maximo Asset Management. One of the first steps
when setting up a clean Maximo environment is to create the financial
information and it is still a little bit tricky for some people
without experience in Maximo. In order to create your financial
information and Organization, follow the steps... [More]

The Independence of Independent security groups
Independence of security groups are one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Maximo/TPAE security construct. Why would you want a group to be independent? What are the implications of checking that check box? Basically, security group independence exists to allow you to configure site specific access to a set of applications, options or controls. If you are not configuring site specific rules you don’t need an Independent group. If you only have one site, you should never have Independent groups. By default, security groups combine with...

In these cases, if the loggers are enabled and the application server is restarted - but still the Report SQLs do not appear in the log - then execute the following sql. select logger, logkey, maxloggerid, parentloggerid from maxlogger where logkey in ('log4j.logger.maximo.report', 'log4j.logger.maximo.report.birt','log4j.logger.maximo.report.birt.sql') The result of the SQL will be...

BiLog: Neodydium…Maximo Report SMC Community and your Customizations
Neodydium. This rare earth element comes frequently to my mind on these summer days as both the grass in our yard increases…along with the hours my husband spends on the golf course. Neodydium was introduced to me years ago while leading a development project bringing together two major corporations, focused on creating a technically superior golf sunglass. As a key component of the innovative lens coating, Neodydium enabled the variations of the green to ‘pop’ out to the golfer, and gave me the incredible opportunity to lead a team of... [More]

Maximo Email Can Now Send Partial Messages
Problem In Maximo we provide the capability to send Role based emails. A role is defined in the Roles application and is typically attached to a communication template while sending an email. Behind the scenes Maximo resolves the email addresses of the members in a role and sets the "TO:" field with a list of email addresses. However there is always a chance that one or more of these addresses on the list could be invalid due to a variety of reasons. When there are one or more invalid email addresses on the "TO:" list...

Maximo Scripting: Script compilation and caching
Ever wondered how Maximo executes automation scripts saved in the database? Read on.. Script code is written into the Source Code field of the
Automation Script application. Alternately, script code can be imported as the
Automation Script wizards are used to create new launch point and script. Once
the Automation Script wizards are completed or, the Save Script button of the
Automation Scripts application is clicked the contents of the field are
compiled, cached into memory and, finally, saved to the Maximo database. Script compilation At... [More]

Rotating Items, Rotating Inventory and Rotating Assets...dizzy yet?
I am
often amazed how many times I receive questions regarding Maximo's
rotating inventory functionality. The surprise comes from the fact
that this functionality has been in the product since at least the days of
3.x (maybe earlier...anyone have a copy of 2.1.1 and can tell me?) Many
customers are looking to implement or expand their usage of rotating
inventory so it seemed appropriate to provide a bit more information on
what all this rotating stuff is about. So what
is a rotating item? Functionally, it is an item record that has... [More]
