Configuring Maximo Spatial Asset Management
After you install IBM® Maximo® Spatial Asset Management, complete the configuration tasks.
- Application migration group
The Application migration group manages the application user interface. Use this information to migrate Map Manager configuration data with the Migration Manager. - Synchronizing data between ArcGIS and IBM Maximo Asset Management
Activate the ArcGISDataSync cron task to create asset, location, and service address records automatically, based on features from your geographic information system (GIS). - Database tables and columns
IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management has database tables that are specific to Maximo Spatial Asset Management. It also adds industry-specific columns to the Maximo Asset Management database tables. You can run SQL queries to list all of the tables and columns that are unique to Maximo Spatial Asset Management. - Adding columns to GIS feature class tables
You add columns to the feature class tables so that the geographic information system (GIS) administrator can create relationships between GIS tables and Maximo database tables. - Map configuration overview
Maps provide a visual representation of work. To view and use maps, you must configure maps and map services to a site, specify information such as geocode services and activate the map. - Creating and configuring maps
To use maps in spatially-enabled applications, you must create and configure the maps and map services. - Developing maps and routes for applications
You can develop and extend public maps so that users can view and work with records associated with locations. You can also configure maps to show routes. You can add one or more maps to any application. - Showing Linear layers on the map
You can display Linear layers when you select a Spatial map as a provider, which allows you to manage Linear features directly from the map. - Automatic location of map features
Multiple fields in records that are not linked with map features can be used as an additional method for finding a map position for these records. The Auto-Locate function uses this additional information to position these records on the map. - Configuring service addresses
Service addresses provide a way to find assets and locations. Before users can use a service address, you must configure options for the way your organization uses service addresses. - Security
Security in IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management is controlled by signature options. - Customizing spatially-enabled applications
You can customize spatially-enabled applications to increase your visibility of GIS object attributes, feature classes, and service addresses. - Configuring map tips
Map feature tips provide additional information about features that are identified on a map. By configuring map tips, you can easily access information for data visualization or call actions without leaving the map view. - Enabling the system logs
You can monitor the execution of some IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management features with more detail. - Automatically create assets, locations, and service addresses based on GIS features
By activating the cron task, you can automatically create asset, location, and service address records based on features in your geographic information system (GIS). You activate the cron task for GIS objects in the Cron Task Setup application in IBM Maximo Asset Management.
