Continuing from here ... Let's go through a few screens here. The interface doesn't look very different than running the Installer in Windows. License terms... Next > Install Locations...

First, I have a confession. Despite many attempts over the years, I have never mastered Linux. A little personal and professional history: I started with Macintosh in 1986, later moving to Windows (professionally in 1998 when my company made the switch, and personally in 2003). Fortunately, we have a lot of resources at IBM for the newcomer to Linux. Add to that the vast amount of information readily available on the Web, and the able advice of my younger colleagues, who were instructed using Linux when they were in school. Me? I had a semester... [More]

[Note: Updated 12/12/2018 to add firewall authentication error to the troubleshooting section.]   Configuring Maximo for use with web- or rather, using the term du jour, cloud-based email services is not appreciably different from service to service.  On this blog we've covered configuring Maximo to connect to both Google's GMail  and Microsoft's Live.com .  We'll cover this for Microsoft's Office 365 Email. This configuration is essential the same as Live.com.  Additionally, we'll go over a few... [More]

  It's been awhile since my last blog post and even longer since the last one I did regarding LDAP security. Recently I've had a couple users come to me and ask why it takes time for changes made to the directory to show up in WebSphere.   For example: If I move my user  'cn=updateuser, ou=maximo users, ou=swg, dc=mxeam13, dc=torolab, dc=ibm, dc=com'   to another organization unit such as 'cn=updateuser, ou=support, ou=swg, dc=mxeam13, dc=torolab, dc=ibm, dc=com' . You won't see this change... [More]

  =('I LOVE Spreadsheets!')   It's true.  I'm madly in love with a spreasheet's charts, calculations, cell references, worksheets, hyperlinks and how everything is organized in row and column buckets.   Are You? In Maximo 76, the types of worksheet file formats available to you with BIRT reports has increased  200%!    Two new file formats produce variations of .xlsx files.  These files create the exported content in individual worksheets - cooresponding to the individual pages of the...

I've been doing a few upgrades (major and minor) this week. See below for my current VM setup. The one with nothing extra on it is serving as an Active Directory server only (and contains all maxdemo users). Monday I upgraded a maxdemo Maximo 7.5.0.7 to 7.6.0.0. This instance has Scheduler and Calibration enabled, and I installed the Maximo 7.5 versions to maximo 7.6, since the 7.6 versions of those products are not yet available were not available at the time I installed it (Calibration 7.6 was released last Friday, and Fix Pack 7.6.0.1...
