When working with Reports in Maximo v7.6, clients may need to export reports that contain hyperlinks. To accomplish this, one can go to an application, such as Work Order Tracking, or WOTRACK in short, generate a report immediately (such as Work Order List), that will generate output in dynamic html view in a web browser window, and from there user running this report can export it to various formats. You may notice that the Work Order List report should contain hyperlinks (each work order # is a hyperlink that links to another report, the Work... [More]

The following cloning process is only for the Maximo Asset Management installation, not WebSphere Application Server or DB2 database.   Requirements : The operating system on both machines must be identical . If one is 64 bit Windows Server 2012 R2, the second... [More]

One of my recurring issues has been notifying uses of receipts in an email, without a separate email for each receipt record.   To that end, I’ve created a process that uses an escalation to fire a custom action to do this.  This is built on Maximo 7.5.0.10 on SQL Server.    Note: The way this is built, it only works for POs where all lines are requested by the same user.  You’re smart, I’m sure you can figure out options if you need to.   Create a persistent attribute PO.LASTRECDATE...

The message "BMXAA2598E - A purchase order is required for approval." is related to the check-box "Company Default for PO Required for Outside Labor?" (MAXVAR LR_PO_OUTLAB_RQRD) which is hidden by default in Organizations application > Purchase Options > PO Labor Options.   The Contract enhancements in Maximo 6 replaced the old Outside Labor Reporting functionality that used Purchase Orders.   Usually when we have such functionality change we leave the old fields in the Maximo database just to keep the compatibility with...

By now, we should be familiar with the My Recent Applications function at Maximo 7.6 This stores a list of the previous 8 (by default) applications which the logged-in user has visited. This information persists after we log off and also if we restart the browser. In this blog entry I want to explore the underlying implementation. How does it Work? At first I thought it might be a mechanism that uses cookies and maybe persisted in the database, but I was wrong. The answer is something which came as a surprise to me: Local Browser Storage. I had... [More]
