You attempt to clone an application using application designer in Maximo, and receive the error: BMXAA4195E - The Application requires a value One reason for this type of error is that the primarykeycolseq values in Maximo attributes have changed, causing the wrong fields to be validated within Maximo when performing certain actions. If the primarykeycolseq values are incorrect for the APPLICATIONAUTH attributes, you will receive an error when attempting to clone an application within Maximo.  This problem can occur if an index that...

Have you experienced some issue scenario where after spending some time investigating, the only option left is to consider that the maximo tables data integrity is likely incorrect ?   If so, do you know how you can do that ?   Maximo has an internal tool called Integrity Checker for data integrity and it is also a recommended tool to confirm whether some upgrade process for example was successful. You can use it for non-upgrade purposes too, specially if you suspect your Maximo data could be corrupted, since the tool reports data integrity... [More]

Abstract : This tutorial describes the new asynchronous data validation functionality in IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management 7.5. Besides, it shows how to enable/disable this functionality (that is enabled, by default) to all the applications, or how to select only specific applications to be enabled/disabled. Enterprises demand processes that help their teams become more efficient. Thinking about that, Maximo 7.5 has additional tools to guarantee that each task is completed with the minimum amount of time and effort. One of these... [More]

In a large scaled Maximo environment, some of us would use IBM DB2 pureScale database. As the more nodes you have, the more contentions there are on every kind of resources. Normally, Maximo is using Sequence object inside database to avoid the locking issues that are associated with other more heavier approaches  In a standard database, Maximo usually cache some sequence values in memory to improve response time. While in a DB2 pureScale environment, if both CACHE and ORDER are specified, the specification of ORDER overrides the specification... [More]

Maximo application version 7.6 contains over 100 out-of-the-box reports and users may find that, sometimes, it is helpful to receive an output of the report to be reviewed at a later time(for example, if the report is scheduled to run off-peak hours), rather than executing, and waiting to receive the report output, it in real time. This is especially helpful when the report is long and complex and can, potentially, chew up valuable server resources. There are a couple of ways to receive a report output in Maximo:     1 st option: By... [More]

Summary: In this blog entry we will present a method to customize the removal of patterns of characters from incoming email HTML message bodies before they become part of free form SR long descriptions.  We'll do this using the Automation Scripting application.    Here's a collection of non-IBM Maximo HTML weirdness -- mostly email, some from the web -- collected without actively seeking it out.  It comes from sources such as LinkedIn, Google Translate, USA Cycling, WSJ and Outlook.  We see weird alignments and...
