Integrate IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite Weather Forecasts with Maximo Application Suite 9.1.1 and Maximo Manage

Answer

We understand there is confusion regarding the weather integration in Maximo, and we are happy to clarify this for you. The integration method has changed from older Maximo 7.6.x versions.

The weather capabilities in Maximo are not disappearing. Instead, the strategy has shifted to a more powerful, specialized platform. The specific "Configure Weather Forecast" application you used in Maximo 7.6 is not available in Maximo Manage 9.1.1 because the direct connection method has been updated.

The future of weather integration for the Maximo ecosystem now lies with the IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite (EIS). This suite of tools is the new, primary hub for rich environmental data, including detailed forecasts and alerts.

Therefore, the best path forward is to explore the integration between your Maximo Application Suite (MAS) environment and the IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite. This setup allows you to pull your asset information from Maximo and see it right alongside the detailed weather data provided by EIS. This integration provides a more powerful and complete view than the previous one, helping you make even better maintenance and operational decisions.

To help you get started with this new integration path, the technotes and resources below can be very helpful.
