Maximo Migration Collection This has been asked in various maximo interview questions and lot of developers don't know this because they don't use it much... Well we develop components in Maximo or configure applications we maintain changes did for all task in Excel and give it to admin to extract. Admin extract them with the help of Object structures and migration groups.. we offcourse remove dependency at this time.. Now in migration collection we can define list of things we are modifying or changes we are doing or even we can enable an event on application so whenever a change is done like we create a new conditional expression in maximo this will be entered automatically in Collection application. People don't use it much bcoz they don't know prior to development what all components they will modify..But as soon as developers get experience before doing the requirement or changes they know what all they will modify and start using maximo Migration collection applic

Maximo Table  domain over Aln domain sometimes we have requirement to filter aln domain, a way of it can be to create a table domain over the aln domain and apply list where clause. Technically this design is not incorrent.... * Now their is a catch with this ... what suppose we want to further filter this with automation script...... when maximo build this list where clause  domain type :- Table domain ALN Domain :- Months List where :-  domainid='MYMONTHDOMAIN'  Automation script :- listwhere("month.startswith [J]) when we apply this to field that field might not respect your list where clause sometimes...so you might need reapply the domain in automation script on field.. so you in autoscript whereclause should be formed like wherecaluse =domainid='monthdomain' and value in (value.statrtwith (J)) because maximo ignores what's coming with list where clause....

Check if db can be migrated to exadata for speed...Delete not required or unused migration package inactive wf transactions based on ibm guidelines .... Check latest fixpacks are installed on Was and db.. and Maximo.. If some custom cron taking too much time check if we can use fetch first aur create an autoscript and do same work from storedproced bco they will more faster than java code or autoscript... Run integrity checker before and after every deployment of changes to production Update maximo statistics on regular basis... Check if can create common scripts or library scri
