Logging data with Maximo and the BeagleBone Black using REST.
A few weeks ago I entered a blog about getting data from Maximo using the REST API, Maximo, IoT and REST. This blog will continue on with the REST example and show you one example on how to enter data into Maximo. For example, if you had a large tank and wanted to know the water level you could use a BeagleBone to read the water level and report it to Maximo. Imagine you have your BeagleBone Black setup to read a potentiometer that had an arm attached to a floating device in the tank. The potentiometer is now reading the angle of... [More]

How to disable Maximo timeout ?
Your session will time out in 60 seconds That is the message that not many people love to see when you are not working on a Maximo window for a moment and the process that you are testing is still not finished.

You are lucky that t here is a way to disable that. ;-) That would be possible if you configure the timeout setting to a negative value, such as -1. This following instructions outlines the steps to change the timeout... [More]

Maximo, IoT and REST
Maximo has a lot of integration abilities and one of them is the REST API. One of the really great thing about the REST API is that it is a very simple protocol that can be used to communicate with Internet of Things devices. It is compact and light weight and does not need much resources. There are many IoT devices to pick from but my personal favorite is the BeagleBone Black (BBB). It is a low cost credit card size computer and the best part is that it does not need much setup to communicate with Maximo. To try the example you only need a... [More]

How do I restrict the worklog on MIF to send data only when there is any change made on it.?
Hi All, I have created an Object Structure with SR and Worklog. I am able to trigger request to the other system when there is any change made on worklog and it sends only the latest worklog entry. But the issue is, even if there is no change on the worklog it still sends the latest worklog entry which is creating duplicates on the system which is on the other side.. How do I restrict the worklog to be sent only when there is any change made on it. Your help is much appreciated! Regards, Pallavi

Go back to WebSphere console and restart the MXServer creating a new fresh systemout.log 4. If you get the green arrow... [More]

Maximo Anywhere 7.5.2.1 - Unable to perform multiple installations on a single server.
It was brought to my attention that after installing Maximo Anywhere 7.5.2.1 a new plug in file is copied to the Installation Manager shared folders, once installed only this plug in will be read when displaying the installation panels. Now the problem with this is, if you decide to install another version of Maximo Anywhere to the same server under a new package group which is supported by the Installation Manager some panels may be missing from the installation process. Specifically panels regarding the Android SDK. With this... [More]

Tidbits : Moving a Clearance (Nuclear) record to READY
In most of the core Maximo applications, the process of changing status of a record is fairly standard. Usually, the record starts it's life in WAPPR (Waiting for Approval), DRAFT or INACTIVE. You have a Change Status Toolbar button and you can proceed to change the status as per the options available in this Change Status dialog. There are some applications however, where the process of changing status is different and a bit more complicated to the one mentioned above. In this blog entry, I am going to show you an example where a... [More]

TPAE And Scheduler Fixes, what version has which fix.
As many of you may know Maximo TPAE (Base) fixes are bundled with Scheduler fixes. I just wanted to make this quick blog entry to share what each base version had bundled with it.

Maximo -- Use optimizer_mode to improve Maximo performance on Oracle database.
On Oracle database, the default optimizer_mode is ALL_ROWS. This optimizer_mode is inefficient for Maximo SQL queries, especially users screen response. Here is an explanation of Oracle optimizer_mode from oracle documentation -- http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/TGSQL/tgsql_influence.htm Relevant information extracted from the above link Best throughput (default) When you set the OPTIMIZER_MODE value to ALL_ROWS , the database uses the least amount of resources necessary to process all rows that the statement accessed. For batch... [More]
