Business process agents
Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities business process agents do the automated work for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities applications. Each event that require an agent goes into a queue where the agent can retrieve and process it.
| Business process agent | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform Maintenance Scheduler | The maintenanceagent agent conducts data cleanup and runs an
analysis on the database. This agent removes all data in the state of null, and removes DataConnect
(DC) jobs and staging table entries that are obsolete or completed. This agent also cleans up the
completed workflow instances that do not have any user-operable tasks (such as user tasks and
approval tasks) within the workflow. |
| Data Import Agent | The dataimportagent agent looks for all tab-delimited files
that are uploaded and imports the data into the platform. The dataimportagent agent
runs on each appserver pod. |
| DataConnect (DC) Agent | The dataconnectagent agent looks for DataConnect (DC) jobs in
the Job Control table that are ready to run. When the agent finds a job, it creates an appropriate
smart object for the job. Then the agent posts an asynchronous workflow event to initiate the
workflow that pulls the external data into the
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities database
tables. |
| Extended Formula Agent | The extendedformulaagent agent looks for and processes
extended formulas. |
| Formula Recalc Agent | The formularecalcagent agent recalculates paths as needed in
the platform. |
| Incoming Mail Agent | The incomingmailagent agent downloads mail from a Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) server or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server and translates them into
email message records. |
| Object Migration Agent | The objectmigrationagent agent migrates business objects from
one environment to another environment. |
| Object Publish Agent | The objectpublishagent agent publishes business objects in
the platform. |
| Report Queue Agent | The reportqueueagent agent retrieves queued report requests,
processes the report, and notifies the user. |
| Reserve SMTP Agent | The reservesmtpagent agent receives and processes reservation
e-mails sent by Microsoft Exchange. This SMTP receiver
service allows Microsoft Exchange to communicate with
IBM® Maximo Real Estate and Facilities and to manage resources in
Reserve. A Microsoft Exchange
send connector is configured to forward any email address with the reservation-specific subdomain to
the pod that runs this agent. |
| Scheduler Agent | This agent looks for and processes all scheduled and recurring events in the platform. |
| Workflow (WF) Agent | The wfagent agent processes queued workflow events and the
asynchronous workflows that are registered for those events. |
| Workflow (WF) Future Agent | Th wffutureagent agent processes actions from a workflow that
are set up to trigger at a future date, and is used by many applications including, but not limited
to BIM, Job Scheduling, Reserve, and Lease. |
| Workflow (WF) Notification Agent | The wfnotificationagent agent looks for and processes
notifications in the platform, including those notifications to be sent at a scheduled time. |
