Importing model data into Maximo Manage

After you create a project for facilities, you can import COBie data by using validate, import, update, and merge sessions for the project.

Validating data
Before you import data, you create a validation session to check the integrity of the Construction-Operations Building information exchange (COBie) file and to validate that the COBie data matches with items in the Maximo database, such as units of measure, attribute types, and classifications. You can view the validation messages on the Log Records tab.
Importing validated data
After you validate the data, you can import it into Maximo Manage by using the BIM Projects application.
Updating imported data
You can create an update session to update data that was imported to Maximo Manage to modify data that was imported before a building or complex asset was completed or if refurbishments to the building or complex asset are complete and the data need to be adjusted.
Merging design data with existing data
You can build the model for a building by merging COBie data with existing Maximo Manage data.
