Configuring Maximo Real Estate and Facilities server

About this task

The Connector communicates with the IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities server using the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) protocol. Before the OSLC protocol can be used, it must be configured on the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities platform. This can be done either by directly editing the TRIRIGAWEB.properties in the Platform configuration directory or through the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities admin console.

Directly editing theTRIRIGAWEB.properties

Procedure

  1. Locate the file TRIRIGAWEB.properties in the Platform configuration directory.
  2. Open it with a text editor such as Notepad.
  3. Search for OSLC_BASE_URL.
  4. Set the value to the URL that will be used to access OSLC endpoints. This is typically the base Maximo Real Estate and Facilities URL = “/oslc”.
  5. The ':' character must be escaped. Example URL: OSLC_BASE_URI=http://tririga.mydomain.com\:9080/prod/oslc/.

Editing the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities admin console

Procedure

  1. From the left menu, click System Info.
  2. At the top, click Edit for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Web to open the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file.
  3. Scroll down to OSLC_BASE_URI. Properties are in alphabetic order.
  4. Set the value to the URL that will be used to access OSLC endpoints. This is typically the base Maximo Real Estate and Facilities URL = “/Oslc”. Example: OSLC_BASE_URI=http://tririga.mydomain.com:9080/prod/oslc/
  5. Save your edit.

What to do next

For both methods, the server must be restarted for your changes to take effect.

If the TRIRIGAWEB.properties OSLC_BASE_URI value is blank or default, it is automatically configured based on the login URL. This fails if the address seen by the server is different from the login URL used by the server. Such as, when the server is behind a firewall that performs Network Address Translation (NAT). In these cases, the URL must be manually configured as described previously.
