Keeping your Maximo Tuned Up and Performing
Maximo is everywhere! It has been around for several decades and is in use by many different industries of all sizes. Client databases have grown in size and complexity over the years. Continued monitoring of database integrity is always recommended to make sure all your I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. Just the other day I was talking to a client that was experiencing major slowness in performance while generating a handful of Work Orders from the Preventive Maintenance application. They were attempting to generate about 5 work... [More]

Keeping up with security
At IBM we often get asked about security vulnerabilities and
how our products are impacted. Did you know there is a pro-active step you can

Keeping a BDI on your Assets.
Maximo
Asset Configuration Manager (ACM) is designed to manage the
configuration management requirements of complex assets operating in
the aerospace, defence and rail sectors where safety and regulatory
compliance is of primary importance. One
of the central components of Maximo ACM is the Build
Data Interpreter (BDI). At
it's most basic level the BDI analyses configuration managed Assets

Just because you can do something, should you?
Today I'd like to ask the question "just because you can do something, should you"? Just because you CAN ride a unicycle across a tightrope that connects two skyscrapers do you really need to? I mean like why jump out of a perfectly good airplane just because we have parachutes? I mean sure they both sound like great ideas but then again maybe not. I guess it's just me but just because you CAN do something it doesn't mean you always should. Earlier in the week I was talking with one of the members of my team about that... [More]

JMS Messaging - High availability, scalability and Maximo Integration Framework using a single Service Integration Bus
In the past, the documentation that was created for Maximo clustering with JMS resources typically contained separate buses – one per cluster – to avoid affecting performance while loading data to Maximo, but this is often complicated and has drawbacks when it comes to high availability and scalability as well as ease of configuration. I admit I'm probably responsible for most of that documentation and generally there are always workarounds available to cope with the separate buses when more than one cluster needs access to the same JMS...
