My MIF Web Service is deployed... What now ?
After deploying a MIF Web Service, you may want to test it and make sure everything is working fine, don't you? For sure, your integration requires an External System to post some data to Maximo using this Web Service, but for now you can use a third party client and setup some tests scenarios and post some data. In all my tests, I use SoapUI, which is open source ! www.soapui.org . After installing it, you will be able to post S oap , HTTP and REST calls to Maximo. Let’s review the soap... [More]

Maximo Java Applet Certificates expiration
On December 21, 2015, the certificate that IBM used to sign Java applets for Maximo Asset Management will expire. After that date. when opening a Maximo application with an associated Java applet (such as Workflow Designer), if the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) displays a certificate acceptance dialog, there will be an additional message on that dialog indicating that the certificate is still valid but has expired. Accept the warning and continue work in the application. It is only a warning. The JRE will not prevent the applet from... [More]

10 minute Tip - I have a blank parameters window in Eclipse when using IE11
There is a known compatibility issue between Eclipse and Internet Explorer 11. The problem is that you do not see your parameters when trying to preview your report. All you see is this: Which is not very helpful! IBM support has provided a workaround option that, initially, seemed to resolve the problem – at least with the Eclipse 371 release for Maximo 7.5. It seems that these changes do not always work with Eclipse 431 (Maximo 7.6). This solution goes as follows: 1) Close the Birt Designer and open the... [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]

Maximo 7.6 and MSSQL Windows Authentication
Recently, I have been asked by customers if Maximo supports the use of MSSQL Windows Authentication (i.e. integratedsecurity=true). There is not much documentation from the Maximo perspective on the use of this integratedsecurity=true, so here is some information that I have discovered during my testing. By default, Maximo uses a specified database user Maximo and password stored in the maximo.properties file. These credentials are then used to connect Maximo to the database (sql authentication). Some organizations have a requirement to only... [More]

10 minute Tip - Birt Report Only Server (BROS)
10 minute Tip - Birt Report Only Server (BROS) For this session we will discuss the Birt Report Only Server, or BROS (pronounced “B-ROS”, or “BROSE”, take your pick). Enabling BROS will balance report load processing and can improve overall system performance. The BROS will be utilized for most of the report processing – regardless of what clustered server the user may be currently connected to. A BROS server is, for all intents and purposes, another Maximo JVM. In this case, however, the JVM is not used for UI... [More]

Thinking of upgrading Oracle to 11.2.0.4?
Hello Oracle DBAs! This is a heads up. I have noticed that there are still many customers running Oracle 11.2.0.3 or earlier and may be planning to move to Oracle 11.2.0.4 in the near future. Quite a few Maximo customers encountered an Oracle bug which impacts Maximo and the usage of text indexes. The error can occur in various areas within Maximo but if you see an ORA-00604 it is likely this problem. You will see an error similar to this error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL... [More]
