Integration framework uses XML messages to publish and consume data from and to Maximo. However there are a range of characters that are considered invalid for an XML document. The Maximo Mbo framework would allow such characters to be entered and saved into Maximo. Problem starts however when one tries to export that data through the Integration Framework.     Compounding the problem - most XML parsers would not validate for invalid XML characters in XML node/element values while creating an XML document – but do so when parsing an XML...

I'm wondering if you ever had to create security privileges to prevent users from deleting attachments in Maximo records. Obviously, you will not want all the users from Maximo to delete the records, so it will be configured by Security Groups.   To prevent the users from Add a File to a record you have to revoke access to Create/Save records for this application .   However, to prevent them to delete it , you will have to create a security restriction and add to the "View Attachments" dialog. Since this is a common dialog used in... [More]

Maximo offers the ability to set a limit for the records that are retrieved on a List tab from users search actions. But sometimes that is just not enough, because users still have the possibility to select multiple records to work with by using the Select Records check box and then selecting manually multiple records that they want to change.   In case you would like to avoid performance issues, depending on the application you are working with, you may want to prevent users to work with mass actions or multiple records at once. Then you would... [More]
