I took a bit of a hiatus from blogging during the month of February being out for a large portion of it at the IBM Interconnect Conference. But I'm back in the full swing of things now and want to share a bit of knowledge on Authenticating to your LDAP secured Maximo environment.

Hi there, I decided to check in and throw my 2 cents out there on a topic that I think a lot of people might benefit from and that's using Escalations in Maximo.   The Escalations application first came onto the Maximo scene with version 6 and has developed into a powerful and extremely useful tool that can help to solve many problems.  In Maximo 7 and beyond, escalations can be used against pretty much any Maximo object.   There are many very helpful uses for escalations..... - Monitoring / reporting on various time...
