Installing the IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app

The IBM® Maximo® for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app works with the Duty Stations application of IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power. You use the Duty Stations application to configure meters and conditional monitoring points into a route, adding times, conditional controls, and warnings. The mobile app assembles all of the pertinent information from the Duty Stations application into an easy-to-use interface. Additionally, you can attach photos or other files from the mobile device, and upload the attachments to the Maximo server. You can also download attachments from the Maximo server to the mobile device.

Before you begin

On the computer where Maximo for Nuclear Power is installed, ensure that IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.1 IFIX004, or higher is installed.

Ensure that you installed IBM Maximo Anywhere 7.6.3 or above on the computer where Maximo for Nuclear Power is installed. For detailed installation instructions, refer to Knowledge Center for Maximo Anywhere (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.3/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/welcome.html).

Ensure that you added users to the ANYWHERE_OPERATOR_ROUNDS security group. For more information, see Adding users to the Maximo Anywhere security groups (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.3/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/install/t_add_users_security.html).

If you plan to install the Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app on a designated build computer, copy the app and the Maximo Anywhere compressed file to the target computer.

Before you can build and deploy the IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app on the build computer, your environment requires either Android™, iOS®, or Windows™ development tools.

For iOS build failures, proceed with the additional manual setup steps that are found at Installing the iOS development tools (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSPJLC_7.6.3/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/install/t_install_ios_dev_tools.html).

Note: The Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app is supported on Android-based mobile devices and on iOS-based mobile devices. The Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app is not supported on Windows phones.
Note: Mobile app version number On the About screen of the Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds version 7.6.1 mobile app, the version number that displays is the version for Maximo Anywhere (7.6.3). If you need to contact Customer Support about the mobile app, make a note of the Build number on the About screen to provide to the Customer Support representative.

About this task

A set of required components must be installed on the administrative workstation to extend the mobile apps.

Procedure

  1. On the Maximo for Nuclear Power computer, extract the compressed file that contains the mobile app.
  2. From the extracted file, start the launchpad.
  3. On the Install IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds 7.6.1 pane, click Install or Update IBM Maximo Asset Management Required Components and complete the installation wizard.
  4. In the Tivoli®'s process automation engine configuration tool, select Update the database with the UpdateDB Lite feature.
  5. To install the mobile app on the computer where Maximo Anywhere is installed, copy the compressed file for the mobile app to the target computer.
  6. On the Maximo Anywhere computer, extract the compressed file to a local directory.
  7. If you don't use Mac OS X, continue to Step 9. If you use Mac OS X, perform the following steps, then continue to Step 10:
    1. Start the IBM Installation Manager. When first started, the IBM Installation Manager window must be sent to the background and then brought back to the foreground before any of the drop-down menus work.
    2. Open the Preferences window.
    3. Add the ORAnywhereInstallerRepository.zip file.
  8. From the extracted file, start the mobile app launchpad.
  9. On the pane for installing the mobile app, click Install or Update IBM Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds.
  10. Complete the installation wizard.
  11. Build and deploy the mobile app by following the instructions in IBM Knowledge Center (www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.3/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/build_deploy/t_ctr_build_deploy_apps.html).

What to do next

The enhancement of duty station capabilities in Maximo for Nuclear Power, version 7.6.2, includes mathematical formulas for duty station readings to support direct reading calculations, high and low limits, and exemptions. The Maximo for Nuclear Power Operator Rounds mobile app, version 7.6.1, does not support these formula processes. For more information, refer to https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1171258.
