Integration script points

Scripting is enabled in the Maximo® integration framework to support customization and customization options for processing rules, Java™, and XSL. If you customize by using Java, scripting offers an alternative approach that removes the need to rebuild and redeploy the Maximo EAR file. Scripting is enabled at processing points on most of the integration components that currently support Java as a means to customize the product.

To create an integration script, in the Automation Scripts application, select Create > Script for Integration.
