Attribute maps for COBie data
You can map attributes and extension columns in your COBie data to fields in Maximo® business objects and to the attribute types in
specifications in Maximo Manage .
Contacts
The Contacts table in COBie can be mapped to the PERSON, COMPANIES, and COMPANY CONTACT in Maximo Manage . The import process tracks how a contact is referenced. If it is referenced in the COBie data in a createdBy field, the data can be stored in the PERSON object. Otherwise, the data is stored in the COMPANIES object.
Facility
The Facility table in COBie is mapped to the LOCATION Maximo business object . Additional values from the facility are stored in the import session.
Floor
The Floor table in COBie is mapped to the LOCATION Maximo business object . All location records that are created from floors in the COBie data use the facility location as their parent.
Space
The Space table in COBie is mapped to the LOCATION Maximo business object .
Component
A component in the COBie data is stored in a location record and an asset record in Maximo Manage . The asset record references the location record as its locations. The parent location is the space that is referenced by the component if it is valid. If the space is not valid, the parent location is either a floor, if one can be determined from attributes, or the facility.
Zone
The Zone table in COBie is mapped to the LOCSYSTEM Maximo business object . A location system record is created for each zone. The system is hierarchical and uses the facility location as the root of the system and each space as a child of the facility.
System
The Systems table in COBie is mapped to the LOCSYSTEM Maximo business object . A location system record is created for each zone. The system is hierarchical and uses the facility location as the root of the system. The operating location that is associated with each component is used as a child of the facility.
Job
The Job table in COBie is mapped to the JOBPLAN and JOBTASK Maximo business objects . If the job is preventative maintenance, a master preventive maintenance (PM) record is also created that has a reference to the job plan.
Attributes
The Attributes table in COBie is mapped to several tables in the Maximo database . First, the attributes are grouped by name to create attribute types. Then, the attribute values are added as specifications to the appropriate specification table.
Document
The Document table in COBie is mapped to the ATTACHMENT table in the Maximo database . Both DOCINFO and DOCLINK objects are created. If a single document is referenced more than once, then only a single DOCINFO object is created. Reference is validated by path and name during same import and by document checksum on matches from previous imports.
Resource
The Tool resources in COBie are mapped to the ItemTool Maximo business object . Only resources of type tool are imported.
Assembly
The Assembly table in COBie sets the parent field of the asset.
