About this task

The following steps are specific to the Maximo Monitor application and are part of the overarching application deployment process. Select your application update method. To later change from channel subscription versioning to manual versioning, you delete and then redeploy the application. After you activate the application, you must grant users access to it.

Procedure

  1. In Maximo Application Suite, from the side navigation menu, click Catalog and then click the Monitor card. Click Continue.
    Note: If insufficient AppPoints are available to deploy this application, you can still complete the application configuration. The application is automatically deployed when the required number of AppPoints are available.
  2. Select your application update method.
    1. Select an update method.
      To subscribe to automatic updates, set Automatic approval to On. When new application updates are available, they are added to the channel and automatically updated in your Maximo Application Suite instance.
      To subscribe to manual updates, set Automatic approval to Off. When new application updates are available, you receive a notification, and you can manually approve the updates.
    2. Subscribe to a channel by selecting a version from the list.
      For example, select channel 8.x.x, 8.x, 9.x.x, or 9.x.
    3. Click Subscribe to channel <version>
  3. On the Deploy Monitor application page, click Show advanced settings and set System managed to off.

    The estimated deployment time is an estimate of the time that it takes to configure and deploy the application. The time includes both processing and configuration.

    On the Applications page for Monitor, you can monitor the deployment status. If the deployment fails, delete and then redeploy the application. Deployment is complete when the Application card displays the Monitor is ready message and the Activate button is displayed. Click Activate.

What to do next

The Asset Data Dictionary component is installed automatically when a consuming application, such as Maximo Monitor, is installed. The Asset Data Dictionary is a repository of data and metadata that facilitates data sharing and synchronization between applications in the suite. If you plan to synchronize data between Maximo Monitor and Maximo Manage, complete configure the Asset Data Dictionary.
