Configuring the integration
You must specify an integration endpoint, configure a server certificate, set a prefix
identifier, increase the length of a Manage attribute, configure security authorization for object
structures, specify the update processing mode that is used for imports, and grant access to an
application function to enable the integration between Maximo® Manage and Digital Twin Exchange.
Configuring the integration endpoint
To ensure that you can retrieve the digital data that you are entitled to from Digital Twin Exchange, you must configure the mxe.dtexendpoint system property to specify the location of the Digital Twin Exchange server.
Configuring the server certificate
To enable secure communication between Maximo Manage and Digital Twin Exchange, you must configure a secure socket layer (SSL) certificate for Digital Twin Exchange. You use your application server to add the certificate authority (CA) SSL certificate as a signer certificate to your trusted key store.
Configuring the integration prefix for database records
To help you identify records in the Manage database that originate from Digital Twin Exchange, you configure the mxe.dtexprefix system property. You specify a value that is prefixed to asset, item, and job plan numbers that are created in the Manage database during imports from Digital Twin Exchange. The default value for this prefix is DT- .
Configuring the length of the ASSETNUM attribute
To ensure that a field length error does not occur during an import, you must increase the length of the ASSETNUM attribute in the ASSET object.
Configuring security authorization for object structures
To avoid security issues when you import digital data, you must configure security authorization in Maximo Manage for the MXITEM, MXAPIASSETSPARE, and MXAPIJOBPLAN object structures.
Configuring the update mode for job plan data
You can configure how existing job-plan-related items, such as job tasks and work assets, are updated in Manage when the same digital product is imported more than once. You configure a system property to specify the update mode, which can be either replace or merge. The default update mode is merge.
Granting access to the digital data import functionality
Access to the digital data import functionality is controlled by security signature options, which are defined in the Security Groups application. By using signature options, you can grant access to the digital data import functionality to specific groups of users.
