Importing or exporting data with files

If your integration requires files to import or export your data, you use the IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities integration object to define the integration. The inbound file scheme maps the data from the external source to existing Maximo Real Estate and Facilities fields. The outbound file scheme defines which fields are exported from your Maximo Real Estate and Facilities database.

Starting in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities 9.2, inbound file-based integrations support custom delimiters. You can enter delimiters as free text, including single-character delimiters such as ,, ;, and ^, and multi-character delimiters such as :: or ~~. Existing integrations that use predefined delimiters continue to work without changes. For more information, see Importing data with the file scheme.

Starting in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities 9.2, you can configure S3 object storage for file-based integrations, see Configuring S3 object storage.
