Activating GPS

Maximo Anywhere uses global positioning system (GPS) data to determine the geographical location of mobile workers and work orders. GPS is also needed to add position markers to the map view.

Before you begin

The map view must be enabled.

About this task

GPS is disabled by default because map support in Maximo Anywhere is optional.

Procedure

  1. From the maximoanywhere_home\Anywhere\MaximoAnywhere\apps\app_name directory, edit the app-feature.properties file and set the property gps.enabled=true.
  2. Save and close the file.
  3. Build and deploy the application.
