Maximo Application Suite instance requirements

Review the requirements for planning your instance of Maximo® Application Suite. You must provide the instance name, domain name, and workspace ID when you install and set up Maximo Application Suite. These values are used to create the user interface URLs for Maximo Application Suite and its applications.

Instance name

The instance name identifies the Maximo Application Suite installation on your Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster. Follow these guidelines to create your instance name:
  • Must be 3 to 12 characters long
  • Must use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphen (-) symbol
  • Must start with a lowercase letter
  • Must end with a lowercase letter or a number

The instance name is not included with your Maximo Application Suite URL.

Domain name and DNS server

Determine a domain name and then work with your DNS administrators to ensure that your domain name is connected to your Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

The domain name is included with your Maximo Application Suite URL:https://<workspace_id>.home.<mas_domain>

Important: The domain name for your Maximo Application Suite instance must be resolvable within the Red Hat OpenShift cluster that you are deploying to.

You need the following DNS records. <mas_domain> is a domain name.

  • admin.<mas_domain>
  • api.<mas_domain>
  • auth.<mas_domain>
  • home.<mas_domain>
  • *.home.<mas_domain>
  • messaging.iot.<mas_domain>
