What's new in reporting
Enhancements for reports in IBM® Maximo® Asset Management 7.6.1.2 include a new process for loading reports and entitlement to IBM Cognos® Analytics 11.0.13.
New process for loading reports
To improve performance and efficiency, a new process for loading reports was developed for version 7.6.1.2 of Maximo Asset Management and IBM Maximo Asset Management Multitenancy.
In earlier releases, when users installed or upgraded Maximo Asset Management, any report designs that were not in the report design table were imported when the administrative server was started.
Effective in Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.2, report additions are no longer imported when the administrative server is started. Report versioning is added to the product XML file. If the report version in the pending upgrade is more recent than the one in the existing XML file, a new ReportImport cron task is automatically launched to import reports.
If your enterprise does not want to use the new report import feature, your administrator can disable it.
