It's been awhile since my last blog on Maximo Anywhere but this latest topic has come up a few times and I wanted to share some information on what is required if you are updating your MobileFirst application with an interim fix.  As some of you may of run in to there are situations which may require you to update your MobileFirst application with a later interim fix,  what you may not know is that Maximo Anywhere uses specific MobileFirst libraries during it's build and if you do not ensure they are updated as well you may...

With Maximo Anywhere the options to install applications vary depending on the mobile platform.  Android and iOS both can be installed from the traditional Application Center,  sideloading iOS applications through iTunes or directly installing the APK's for Android, as well as other MDM options.  But when it comes to Windows the default installation process for the applications is a bit different and the Application Center is not used in the traditional manner.  That said, I have decided to make the installation options...

*NOTE*    This document was created for Maximo Anywhere 7.6.1, but can be followed for Maximo Anywhere 7.6.2.    Some time back I wrote a couple start to finish guides, one for LDAP configuration and another for clustering in WebSphere which went very well.  Lately I've been working on Maximo Anywhere configurations and have had a lot of requests for more detailed documentation. I've been installing the product since it's first release of 7.5 and things have come a long way and changed quite a bit since... [More]

Please keep in mind, IBM does not officially support cloning in Maximo 7.6 . If you have any problems with this process, we recommend that you do a fresh install on a new administrative machine.   Restrictions: This has been tested on Windows Server only, not on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The following cloning process is only for the Maximo Asset Management installation, not WebSphere Application Server or DB2 database.   Requirements : The operating system on both machines must be identical . If... [More]

Can we change the maxadmin, maxreg and mxintadmin username ?   That's not a recommendation that we can give you. What happens is that once you change those usernames in your Maximo environment users will be already created, and Maximo installation process will probably fail with the following error message:   Error: CTGIN2080E: Process automation engine database configuration failed. The recommendation in this case, is that you do NOT change the username info for those users while installing Maximo.   Thanks and Good luck!

Today, I'm going to go over step by step installing a Maximo 7.6 Feature Pack. It is very similar to the process for installing Interim Fixes, which I documented at Installing an Interim Fix in Maximo 7.6 . I thought that a post dedicated solely to Feature Pack installation would be useful. Feature Pack releases differ from older Fix Pack releases in that, in addition to bug fixes and compatibility notices, new functionality may be added. See Maximo 7.6 Maintenance Delivery Strategy for more... [More]

It was brought to my attention that after installing Maximo Anywhere 7.5.2.1 a new plug in file is copied to the Installation Manager shared folders, once installed only this plug in will be read when displaying the installation panels. Now the problem with this is, if you decide to install another version of Maximo Anywhere to the same server under a new package group which is supported by the Installation Manager some panels may be missing from the installation process.  Specifically panels regarding the Android SDK.  With this...
