Weather data configuration for Maximo Asset Management Scheduler Plus
Configure Maximo Asset Management Scheduler Plus to access weather data from Weather.com.
If you have a subscription to Weather.com, you can display weather data in Maximo Asset Management Scheduler Plus. From the Maximo Asset Management User application, enter the locale code for a user ID that has access to weather data. The weather for that location is then displayed in the Weather KPI. Enable the correct mxe.weather.locale.(your language code) property in the System Properties application to determine the units of measure for your weather data.
You must configure the Maximo Asset Management application server to trust server certificates that are issued from api.weather.com. The api.weather.com server uses SSL for secure communication. Server certificates must be configured to be trusted to access weather information between the Maximo Asset Management application server and the api.weather.com server. You can export certificates from https://api.weather.com to your system and then import them into your Maximo Asset Management application server. The process of importing certificates into the Maximo Asset Management application server JVM is platform-specific. Refer to your application server's documentation for details. You might be required to restart your server after configuration updates.
If you use IBM WebSphere Application Server, you must import the certificate into a Cell or Node default truststore. WebSphere also provides an option to retrieve certificates from the weather server and import them into the truststore by using the retrieve from port feature ().
If you use Oracle WebLogic Server, you can import certificates into the truststore by using the keytool command that is provided by the JVM. After you import the certificates, you must configure support for wildcard certificates by specifying weblogic.security.utils.SSLWLSWildcardHostnameVerifier as a custom host name verifier.
After configuring the Maximo Asset Management application server to trust server certificates from api.weather.com, use the Maximo Asset Management System Properties application to set the weatherapi.apikey property with the API Key value you retrieved from Weather.com.
