10 minute Tip - Birt Report Only Server (BROS) For this session we will discuss the Birt Report Only Server, or BROS (pronounced “B-ROS”, or “BROSE”, take your pick).

Hello Oracle DBAs!   This is a heads up.  I have noticed that there are still many customers running Oracle 11.2.0.3 or earlier and may be planning to move to Oracle 11.2.0.4 in the near future.   Quite a few Maximo customers encountered an Oracle bug which impacts Maximo and the usage of text indexes.  The error can occur in various areas within Maximo but if you see an ORA-00604 it is likely this problem.   You will see an error similar to this error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL...

Hello Integration Framework team!   Starting in Maximo 7.5.0.5 the Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) ifixes were separated from the Maximo or Tivoli Process Automation Engine (TPAE) ifixes. This was done to confuse you, right?  :) Actually, it was done to decouple the products so that ifixes could be released more quickly, and shared between different products which use the MIF code, like REST and OSLC.  So a MIF ifix can be used with the Mobile product as well as with Asset Management. Since the MIF ifixes are so much smaller... [More]

I was using the Job Plans application in one of my test instances the other day and unexpectedly found one of the fields was read-only. Cross checking with two other Maximo instances I had access to, I confirmed that Out Of The Box the field should not be read-only, it should be read-write. The field in question was the Nested Job Plan field. Here it is: (NB: It is no longer greyed out - I have already fixed it - see below) Figure1:                   To correct this I had to export the application... [More]
