WebSphere 8.5.5 and Maximo 7.5: Creating Windows Services
Finishing up from the last blog post , it's time to create Windows services. Otherwise you will always have to have a session logged into the Windows server to start the three Maximo-related services (Dmgr, nodeagent, MXServer). You can follow the instructions in the installation guides found here to create Windows services manually using WASService.exe, or you can use the nifty WASServiceHelper interactive command-line interface tool now included with WebSphere 8. (With WAS 6 and 7, it was a downloadable product called WASServiceCmd.exe.)... [More]

ACM Quick User Guide - Models
Configuration Management (CM) is the specification of allowable as-designed asset assemblies (“Models”) and/or as-maintained physical builds. It can also mean the process of ensuring that actual asset physical builds meet the requirements of an allowable configuration. Functional builds may also be represented (for example, an “electronic systems only” view of the equipment). For the purposes of this “Models” application design, we take the rigorous view that Configuration Management refers only to reference data (i.e. the configurations... [More]

Keeping your Maximo Tuned Up and Performing
Maximo is everywhere! It has been around for several decades and is in use by many different industries of all sizes. Client databases have grown in size and complexity over the years. Continued monitoring of database integrity is always recommended to make sure all your I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. Just the other day I was talking to a client that was experiencing major slowness in performance while generating a handful of Work Orders from the Preventive Maintenance application. They were attempting to generate about 5 work... [More]

HOWTO: Throwing a Warning Dialog in an Automation Script
In this brief blog, we'll throw a warning dialog in an Automation Script. We'll be using python. The script necessary to throw the warning will take the following form: if some_condition : warngroup = " warning_group " warnkey = " warning_key " If there are parameters in the message, you can create a string array with the necessary substitutions, e.g.: warnparams = [ string1, string2, etc. ] If it's an error dialog you want then use errorgroup, errorkey and...

Maximo LDAP - VMMSYNC Filtering and Configuration
There is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding when it comes to LDAP, and about what is and what isn't possible. I want to take some time to discuss the possibilities for Maximo with LDAP, as well as go over the considerations and configuration of setting up VMMSYNC. There will be a second blog to follow with a similar take for LDAPSYNC. Here I want to focus on VMMSYNC. The goal is for this to be a comprehensive guide for VMMSYNC. I will be starting with the basics then going into more details going along. Topics to be discussed: Overview... [More]

Tracking Ticket Status by Taking Calendar and Shift into Account
Ticket records, i.e. service requests (SR), incidents, problems, have historical status data stored in TKSTATUS table. The duration between status change dates is calculated on STATUSTRACKING field of TKSTATUS table. This calculation is a simple subtraction of two dates which ignores the Calendar and Working Time (Shift) of the person changing the status of ticket. Below, you can see the original dialog which is opened via View History option from Select Actions of ticket applications (sr, incident, problem applications). < dialog id =... [More]

Automated Scripting: Accessing a Custom [J|P]ython Module Within Your Script
In this quick blog we'll discuss how to access a custom module from an automation script. Often in the script application we create long and complicated scripts which are embedded inside a multiline textbox. Maintaining the bulk of your scripts on your file system will allow code modularity as well as allow for maintenance and deployment via an scm system such as RTC or git. On our system we will place a simple file called test.py under C:\myLibrary with the contents: # Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and... [More]

Just because you can do something, should you?
Today I'd like to ask the question "just because you can do something, should you"? Just because you CAN ride a unicycle across a tightrope that connects two skyscrapers do you really need to? I mean like why jump out of a perfectly good airplane just because we have parachutes? I mean sure they both sound like great ideas but then again maybe not. I guess it's just me but just because you CAN do something it doesn't mean you always should. Earlier in the week I was talking with one of the members of my team about that... [More]
