Commit database configuration changes from administrative workstation

For commiting database configuration changes please run commands from shell:

sudo su -
cd /opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/tools/maximo
./configdb.sh
#./restorefrombackup.sh
./dropbackup.sh

Running first two performs the same function as choosing the Apply Configuration Changes menu option from the Database Configuration application, but requires all maximo application servers to be stopped.

Maximo Integration – Object Structure create/update

As written in previous post it is needed to create or extend Object Structure to have possibility to read, add or update record connected mboSets.

Example definition:

Object Parent Object Object Location Path Relationship
ASSET ASSET
ASSETUSERCUST ASSET ASSET/ASSETUSERCUST ASSETUSERCUST
ASSETSPEC ASSET ASSET/ASSETSPEC ASSETSPECCLASS

After create object structure You should “Generate Schema”.

Add worklog to record by REST Api

Problem:

Adding comment to to record by simply create WORKLOG mbo through the rest Api is not possible.

Such action results in Error 400: comlog#ownerNull.

Solution:

Right way to do this is adding WORKLOG from parent record, using custom object structure (which has to have relation to WORKLOG enabled).

Tasks:

1. Choose  (or create) Object Structure for Integration, which will have relation to WORKLOG object.

2. Fetch record using that object structure

3. Add workload in form of attributes list:

WORKLOG.index.DESCRIPTION

(…) where index will be number of existing comments + 1

Direct enter into Websphere Maximo application

If you using integration and passing large amount of data IHS or other proxy can by problematic as it probably could timeout your operations.

To commit this you can use strict WebSphere ports. (In default SCCD installation it will be port 9080). After knowing that port you can access directly:
