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.

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.
