In Maximo version 7.604 you may see two "Graphical Scheduling Applications" in the Security Groups application. You may be wondering if this is a bug or if not then what is the difference between the two.     This is not a bug, but it is kind of confusing.  To differentiate the different applications please see the step below: First go to Application Designer and filter for "SCH".     You will see both SCHEDULER and SCHEDACM applications listed.  For the SCHEDULER application pull up the...

Over the course of a few years and version releases (7.1,7.5 and 7.6), I have spoken to many people regarding their experiences using Migration Manager to move data from Development to Test to Production environments. Some customers have been very successful and some have struggled. I noticed some common things about the successful customers. 1. Customers that know their data generally run into less roadblocks. The point here is these customers regularly use tools such as the Integrity Checker to make sure their database is not loaded with... [More]

It's now been around two years since I have developed MxLoader and shared it with the Maximo technical community. I can undoubtedly say it has been a huge success. There are thousands of people using it in every possible scenario and is still helping me a lot in day to day activities. In the last few months I had the opportunity of working with few customers in the aviation and transportation industries dealing with the creation of complex Asset Models. I have now decided to share with the technical community a set of MxLoader templates... [More]

Hello,   My name is Edgar Mengelberg and I have been working with the Maximo and TPAE product suite in various Support roles for over 15 years.

The relationship between GS (Graphical Scheduling) and GA (Graphical Assignment) is that GS is... [More]

I recently had a client ask me if it was possible to increase the size of a multipart textbox in Maximo without making a global change to the field sizes using the field-size-config.xml.  He wanted to change the length of the Itemnum field in the multipart textbox that contains the Itemnum and Description because in some cases the complete item number was not visible.     Unfortunately there is no way to modify the length of a single field that works for a multipart textbox.  However you can use two separate text boxes...

When adding a new document via Attached Documents in Maximo the "Advanced Options" section by default shows as expanded as shown in the image below. Some Maximo administrator's prefer the Advanced Options to not display to avoid confusion for their users and so that the defaults for these options are used.  You can get this section to start collapsed by modifying the Library xml and adding collapsed="true" to the beginning of the appropriate section. Please see the section of the Library.xml below that needs to... [More]
