Maximo Application Suite Customer-managed

Deploying Maximo Application Suite applications

Applications that are included with your installed Maximo® Application Suite version can be deployed into your environment. Customize your environment by deploying the applications that you need.

About this task

The deployment process consists of two steps:
  1. Deploy the application.
    Tip: This task can also be done by using the following Ansible® role: suite_app_install. For more information, see IBM Maximo Application Suite installation with Ansible collection.
  2. Activate the application.
    Tip: This task can also be done by using the following Ansible role: suite_app_config. For more information, see IBM Maximo Application Suite installation with Ansible collection.

As part of the application deployment process, you configure your application by selecting an upgrade method, configuring any prerequisites, and configuring advanced settings.

Depending on the application, prerequisites and advanced settings might be included in the deployment step, the activation step, or both.

Application dependencies are prerequisites of the application, such as databases or other applications that interact with or extend the application.

Important: If the prerequisite is another application, the deployment process for that application opens in a new tab. Complete the deployment and start the activation process for the prerequisite application before you activate the application that you are deploying.

Advanced application settings might include databases, languages, and other customizations. To access the advanced settings, set Advanced settings to On.

By default, the system manages advanced settings, and the suggested default values are set. If the system-managed default values change in the release of an updated version of the application, values are updated when you update your application.

If your environment requires different values for these settings, set System managed to off and update the values.

Each deployed application is available from the Suite navigator and is also available at specific URLs.

After you activate the application, you must grant users access to it.

Important: First log in to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities with the mandatory initial FACILITIESADMIN user and set up other users. If you try to log in to Maximo Real Estate and Facilities with any other user before the FACILITIESADMIN user, you get a blank screen and an error message that says the user is invalid, see Administering Maximo Real Estate and Facilities users.
