When you modify, i.e. add/update/delete, child records (MBOs) related to a main record, the parent object might not always require saving, in other words it might not always get marked as "Modified". For default applications, the application forces the user to SAVE the main record because this functionality is implemented in the original MBO classes of Maximo. Unfortunately, when you have your custom objects used in your custom applications, you can face such use cases that you modify the child records and the main record is not... [More]

If large files are getting created in a tmp directory all the time, or  some of the time, it  is because users execute long running reports that cause these files to get created in the temp directory. Even Query-based reporting, or QBR, can cause this to happen. However, this is by design. Generally speaking, Birt will clean up after itself.    It is only an issue once these large files start filling up the drive and the server runs out of space. Two known causes when these temp files do -not- get auto... [More]

Maximo has an application called System Properties where you can control and set the values that should be used by any property in the System.   However, in order to see the Current Value of a System Property in Maximo UI, you are required to open each of the property lines and check the values in the fields, which could be very time consuming if you have to do that for multiple properties.   So, I would like to share with you a Select statement that I normally use to display all the current values of System Properties in use by...

Maximo Scheduler Plus now allows for  the use of your local weather to be used when scheduling work orders. For weather to work within in the application a weather api is required as well as some configuration within a few of the applications.

Had you noticed that even if you did everything correctly and successfully migrated the script there are no launchpoint data?   It's because out of the box, it doesn't automatically determine the two are related when you do the validation on a migration collection so it doesn't recommend adding the launch points. Thankfully, it's really easy to fix. In the Migration Collections application from the Select Action menu choose "Define Related... [More]
