Below are option after we select Integration :-  We create publish channel Scripts for publish channel (data going out) We create enterprise service Scrips for Enterprise Service (data coming in) We create Invocation Channel Script for Invocation Channel

 Json Mapping in Maximo  When we send data to Maximo, response we receive in XML format. What if we want to receive responce in JSON format with 7.6 version this is possible with JSON API in Maximo. We creating mapping for json for a particular enterprise service and also cofigure response. For this we us JSON Mapping application. We can configure properties for mapping source and target values.

 How to transform inbound message in maximo format We often have requirement to transform inbound message to maximo format :- 2 ways it can be achieved  1. XSL transformation 2. User Exit In case of XSL transformation we create a XSL file based on inbound xml.

 1. Check processing rules (Skip Start) 2. Check loggers exception and integration. 3. Check admin mode. 4. Check crontask JMS sequential consumer 5. check end point accesible.

 This error can occur during cron run in logs or during process selected message in Maximo. In logs you can enbale logs for crontask, Exception, Integration to reproduce this error in logs. Solution : define pretyprint property  with value 0 or 1 in end point for you xml end point.

Integrate using Interface Table (Use both Publish and Sync). 5. Create a Java simple web applicaiton and integration with maximo using webservice 6. Read Data using java File handler from Maximo automation script. 7. Write code to insert data in maximo using RMI binding. 8. Open another application like Flipkart or Amazon from maximo from a place where u select items...... 9. Connect Maximo with any filenet server or any file based server. 10.

Check the connection facility class in add/modify queues compare it with other queue whether it is requried / cusotmized or something delete data of your new queue(if it is not required else take backup or ask integration team to resend in case you have backup).. and now try...

 If you are modifying a single workflow subprocess points are  1. It is not require to activate it else it will be shown as option for default workflow .... 2. After migration only enable it and syncronize with workflow so that new records will pick up your latest workflow........ 3. Migrate dependency like email/escalation etc on this wf first then migrate workflow.

 1. Check donotrun property in particular JVM in system properties application....... 2. Check crontask is working for escalation with instance name as your escalation name... 3. Check your adminemail/global directory is setup 4. check admin mode is on or not?

 1. Create script named CRONAUTOSCRIPT without launchpoint ....... 2. Create a crontask with class name com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.script.ScriptCrontask 3. Give runasUser and create new instance. 4. Give the scriptname as CRONAUTOSCRIPT and give arguments if you need any... 5. Activate crontask. You can do all work which you will do with crontaskcall like  Getting mbset from server looping, performing opration in bulk..............

 BMXAA4211E - Database error number 1 has occurred when operating on WFINSTANCE This solution you can use for any table generic solution in oracle db only  this is duplicate id issue.. (if you cannot remove duplicate just increase nextval like i did since in my case too i can't find duplicate and max value is greater than nextval. select max(WFID) from maximo.wfinstance *select maximo.WFINSTANCESEQ.NEXTVAL from dual; increase you value with some 1000's from o/p of query 1... example *alter sequence maximo.WFINSTANCESEQ restart start with 17572034; Similary if it comes for wfcallstack   BMXAA4211E – Database error number 1 has occurred when operating on WFCALLSTACK:   Report the error to the owner of the deployment.     check maxvalue    select max(wfcallstackid) from maximo.WFCALLSTACK     check next value    select maximo.WFCALLSTACKSEQ.NEXTVAL from dual; increase value by some 10000 etc...... alter sequence maximo.WFCALLSTACKSEQ restart start with 36946999;

How to stop bulk workflow like all PO workflow's etc........ UPDATE MAXIMO.WFINSTANCE SET ACTIVE = 0 WHERE OWNERTABLE = 'PO' and active=1 UPDATE MAXIMO.WFASSIGNMENT SET ASSIGNSTATUS = 'INACTIVE' WHERE OWNERTABLE = 'PO'  and ASSIGNSTATUS = 'INACTIVE'   UPDATE MAXIMO.WFCALLSTACK SET ACTIVE = 0 WHERE ACTIVE=1 AND WFID IN (SELECT WFID FROM  MAXIMO.WFINSTANCE WHERE ACTIVE = 1 AND OWNERTABLE = 'PO') AND PROCESSNAME LIKE '%PO%' another way is escalation using oob action class (recommended way) check IBM notes...
