error "Illegal Key size" when trying to generate a Certificate Signing Request
You are using GSKit provided with WebSphere Application Server to generate a certificate signing request or a self-signed certificate to be used with Maixmo, and when running the java version of the command "gsk7cmd" to generate a 4096 bit key, you receive an invalidkeyexception showing the error "illegal key size". How do you fix it? If the policy files associated with this jre being used are not allowing you to create a 2048 bit certificate, you will need to replace the policy files with the jre. Older...

error "BMXAA4195E - The Application field requires a value" when attempting to clone an application within Maximo
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... [More]

Ensuring data integrity for Maximo with Integrity Checker
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]

Enabling the asynchronous data validation functionality in IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management 7.5
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]

Enabling multi-language support - a simplified set of instructions
The first step to using multiple languages with Maximo is to ensure that the multilanguage pack is installed. The Tpae Solution installer is typically found in c:\ibm\smp\bin Language packages are in found by default in c:\ibm\smp\pmp To install the language pack you wish to use, I have provided an example of the command below using the Solution installer c:\IBM\SMP\bin>solutionInstaller.bat -action install -pkgpath c:\ibm\smp\pmp\PAE_Lang_Pkg_7.5.0.6_Es.zip -dbpwd maximo -dbuser maximo -license accept Rebuild and redeploy the maximo ear...

Enabling Issues & Transfers application in Maximo 7.5 fails
You just started up a new 7.5.0.3 environment, and see the Issues and Transfers application in the Application Designer and in the Security Groups application, but you don't see it in the Go To menu for the Inventory module. Can we get the steps for restoring it? (You noticed that the Issues and Transfers application is missing from the Go To menu.) Run the following queries : SELECT * FROM MAXMENU WHERE MODULEAPP = 'INVENTOR' AND ELEMENTTYPE = 'APP' AND KEYVALUE = 'INVISSUE' SELECT * FROM... [More]

Enable Seq cache explicitly in pureScale database for Maximo
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]

Emailing report output in Maximo v7.6
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]

Email: Removing RichText From the CommLog Message Field
You want the CommLog message field to not contain any RichText formatting whatsoever. Never mind why, that's your business! It may be that you want to pull this content and use it elsewhere where rich text may cause problems, such as in a report. Screenshot-fest to follow on how to accomplish this with a CommLog Object Launch Point script: The scripting portion will called a system UI framework method to purge the rich text from the field leaving plain text behind: from psdi.util import HTML MSG =...

Email Listener: Removing Unwanted Text From Incoming Emails via Scripting
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... [More]
