Configuring the cron task for interface table polling

Configure a cron task to prepare the Oracle interface table for polling. Do not activate this cron task until you are ready to send transactions between Maximo® Asset Management and Oracle E-Business Suite. You must first install Oracle objects.

Procedure

  1. Go to System Configuration > Platform Configuration > Cron Task Setup.
  2. Display a list of cron tasks by pressing Enter.
  3. Open the Interface Table Polling Task page by clicking IFACETABLECONSUMER.
  4. Click New Row and specify a cron task instance name, for example, OAPolling.
  5. Specify a schedule for the interface table polling:
    1. Display the Select Schedule or Time Interval window by clicking the Schedule icon.
    2. Specify an OAPolling task schedule that reflects how frequently you want to poll the interface table.
  6. To display a Select Value list where you can choose a user ID to associate with the cron task, click the Run as User icon . The default value is MAXADMIN, which provides the highest level of user authorization.
  7. Do not activate the polling cron task (by selecting the Active check box) until Maximo Asset Management is ready to receive transactions from Oracle E-Business Suite.
  8. In the Parameters tab for OAPolling, select ENDPOINT Cron Task Parameter and specify the name that you assigned to the endpoint for the adapter, for example, OAIFACETABLE.
  9. Select the EXTSYSNAME cron task parameter, type OA12, and save the cron task.
  10. From the Select Action menu, choose Reload Request.
  11. Select all activated items and click OK.
