Removing reliance on the IBM Maximo IT host clock

The Gateway for IBM Maximo IT uses the CHANGEDATE value to determine new updates sent by Maximo.

If the Gate.TSRM.PollTimeIntervalWindow property is set to a positive value, the gateway uses the following algorithm to query for updates on Maximo:

CHANGEDATE > (current time using the gateway host clock) - (Gate.TSRM.PollTimeIntervalWindow)

This removes the reliance on the Maximo host clock.

Note: The clocks on the gateway server and the IBM Maximo IT server must be in synch.

For best performance the Gate.TSRM.PollTimeIntervalWindow value should be twice the value of set for the Gate.TSRM.PollTime property.

Note: The polling for events on IBM Maximo IT will still occur with the frequency specified by the Gate.TSRM.PollTime property.
