Activate Escalation via Automation Script
Activating the Escalation is a two step process. In the script you have to: 1) Set the escalation attribute ACTIVE to true. 2) Call actDeactEscalation() method on the Escalation MBO. This method will handle all the validation and Cron Task creation behind the scenes.

ACM Quick User Guide - Models
Configuration Management (CM) is the specification of allowable as-designed asset assemblies (“Models”) and/or as-maintained physical builds. It can also mean the process of ensuring that actual asset physical builds meet the requirements of an allowable configuration. Functional builds may also be represented (for example, an “electronic systems only” view of the equipment). For the purposes of this “Models” application design, we take the rigorous view that Configuration Management refers only to reference data (i.e. the configurations... [More]

ACM Assets Quick Overview
Configuration Managed (CM) assets are different from other product assets because they can be composed of other assets or components defined within a hierarchy that have associated CM rules. Thus, CM assets are also called complex assets and they are built based on its corresponding model.

Achieve EAM high-availability with DBaaS instead of operating a DR site
The most critical aspect of all production systems is being able to ensure high-availability in case of critical failures. The traditional approach was to a operate Disaster Recovery site and Fail-Over Clusters. This requires 24x7 maintenance and monitoring activities and adds the significant costs for hardware, software and human resources engaged. Due to this, many companies opt-out of having the high-availability for their EAM system. Thankfully, there is a new option with Database-as-a-Service offering being provided by all major... [More]

Accelerating Maximo Development with Continuous Delivery
As the IBM Maximo team builds on Agile best practices to faster and higher quality development, we are looking forward to implementing many improvements around Continuous Delivery (CD). In it's most extreme, CD is a fully automated code delivery and test pipeline that will take a code change, through all the build, test, and promotion steps and make the change available without any manual intervention, and with full visibility to the team. If there is a problem with the change, the line is stopped and the defect routed... [More]

About that BMXAA7901E message...
Too long for a tweet, not appropriate for a Tech Note, but still technical... a blog post! I recently had a call with a client regarding the BMXAA7901E login failure message. During their validation testing, they thought that Maximo was not displaying the correct message on the login page for certain conditions. In all cases, Maximo displays BMXAA7901E - You cannot log in at this time. Contact the system administrator. He had expected different messages, based on why the login failed, and what messages were available in the MAXMESSAGES table... [More]

About grouping PM generation into to generate at a time
We were wondering how we could stagger PM generation within an organization across time zones and how we could further divide up the PM generation within a single large site. We would ideal like to be able to group our PM generation into even groups to generated at a certain hour within their time zone and use multiple Crontask to generate them. We can current only control the PM generation at the site configuration level. We seem to only be able to run all PMs with a single crontask with this configuration. PMWoGenCronTask executes for all... [More]

About Clearing WebSphere 7.0-9.0 Cache Files for Maximo Administrators
First, thanks to @Kumaran Nathan 1100005HAT for his 2015 post, which gave me the idea for this post. One of Maximo Systems Support's favorite troubleshooting tips is to clear the WebSphere caches. Why do we recommend it so often? Because it often addresses problems that appear after rebuild and restoring the Maximo ear file. Uninstalling an old and installing a new Maximo application EAR should clear the cache,s because the new ear file contains updates to cached files, but not all files are cleared. Clearing the cache files takes... [More]

Ability to view Multiple Markers on a Map in Maximo Scheduler 7.5.1
New mapping capabilities were introduced in Scheduler 7.5.1 that allow clients to view assets, locations, tickets and work orders on a Google, Bing or Spatial map within Maximo. By default when you go into these applications you see only one marker in the Map tab based on the main record. This functionality then leads to the question ‘How do I view multiple markers on a map?” The Map Control in the Scheduler product is available in Application Designer. Using the control properties along with a data source, the ability... [More]
