An Automation Script to Address an Unusual (and Hopefully Rare) Text Truncation Problem when Creating a Communication
There is a rich text framework design gap in how entity characters are handled (encoded / decoded) behind the scenes that results in text truncation when a less than symbol ( < ) is present in a non-rich text field that's pulled into the communication RTE via a variable. This blog article will present a work around for this behavior. We'll set up the problem and the solution side-by-side. As with anything presented in these blogs, refine your approach in a test environment before rolling out to production.... [More]

All in a week's work: upgrades, updates, moves and installs
I've been doing a few upgrades (major and minor) this week. See below for my current VM setup. The one with nothing extra on it is serving as an Active Directory server only (and contains all maxdemo users). Monday I upgraded a maxdemo Maximo 7.5.0.7 to 7.6.0.0. This instance has Scheduler and Calibration enabled, and I installed the Maximo 7.5 versions to maximo 7.6, since the 7.6 versions of those products are not yet available were not available at the time I installed it (Calibration 7.6 was released last Friday, and Fix Pack 7.6.0.1...

Alignment on integer type fields in Maximo
You have a couple of fields that are getting right justified and it seems to be based on MAXTYPE on the MAXATTRIBUTE table. Is there anyway to change the justification on a field in an <app>.xml, since we can't make changes to the MAXTYPE for all fields considering you the type that you are referring to is "INTEGER" ? You would even try the following, but it will NOT work for INTEGER fields : 1) From Application Designer export the app xml file 2) Save a copy of the xml file 3) Edit one of the copies to make the change...

Adding custom fields to Maximo Anywhere Part 2: Parent\Child object relationships
A while back I wrote a blog going over adding a custom field to a Maximo Anywhere application, this was a very basic blog and only handled a situation where the field was part of the parent object (WORKORDER). In many cases however there are situations where the field we want to add is not part of the parent object on the resource, but possibly an associated child object through a relationship. I'm going to walk through the process of adding a field which displays data from another object other then work order based on a... [More]

Adding Custom Fields to a Maximo Anywhere application.
Today I'm going to describe the process of adding a custom field to a Maximo Anywhere application screen. Although we build the applications out of the box, you still have control over what you see and what you display to your users on the device. I've created an attribute in the work order object called reviewed, we want to bring this over to our Maximo Anywhere Work Execution application on to our Work Order details screen to show who has reviewed the Work Order. This can be done with new work order attributes,... [More]

Adding AutoNumbering Function During Save Instead of Inserting a New Record
In Maximo applications, it is well-known to add an auto-number function, i.e. Autokey, for main objects like Work Order, Asset, Item, etc. while creating a new record. You may refer the following IBM tech notes for this task: Setting up Autonumber Functionality for a Given Application in Maximo 7 Adding auto-numbering function in Asset application Auto-numbering Assets Kirill Drozdov, who is one of my colleagues, had a requirement to modify this function for Work Orders. By default, Maximo fetches the autokey (WORKORDERNUM) during Work Order... [More]

Adding and updating Job Plan work assets through MIF
You can add and modify work assets to your Job Plans using the Maximo Integration Framework. There are a fiew things to note in order to get this to work. As you may have discovered, there is currently no out-of-the-box interface that works for this purpose.

Here are the steps that you can use to add or update your work... [More]
