RequirementRequirement
� Some assets operate across the virtual geographical boundaries of Maximo sites– Repair and maintenance work may need to be performed at a facility that is not in the same Maximo site as the asset
– “How can I EASILY insert a work order for an asset from a site other than my default insert site?”
� The Maximo work order defaults to a site and the asset must be in this site– The work order is “owned” by the site and location of the asset
– Customers want the ability to have the location performing the work to “own” the work order and potentially be in a different site than
the asset.

SolutionSolution
� Allow users to EASILY insert work orders for assets from any site– New asset field validation allows valid assets from multiple sites
� Introduce the concept of a Repair Facility– A location identified as a Repair Facility (check box)
� Work order based records can be assigned a repair facility– Work orders, changes, releases
� The repair facility can be from a site other than current site– Within the same organization
� New security groups feature for Repair Facility authorizations– Works in concert with site authorizations to determine records user can work with
� Users can have a default repair facility

IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
User ScenariosUser Scenarios
� The most common scenario is for clients with mobile assets with multiple sites defined in Maximo– Assets that can travel across the virtual boundaries defined by Maximo sites
– For example an asset based in Atlanta in the Southeast US site travels to Boston in the Northeast US site. The repair facility in
Boston owns the work and the work order, but the asset is from another site
� Clients with fixed assets or with only one site may also find benefit to having the further control over security for work order based records
– Limiting maintenance personnel to records only for their repair facility

IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
New Integration Framework Features in 7.5New Integration Framework Features in 7.5
� Event Propagation
� Support for application authorization
� BIDI support
� Application-based Importing/Exporting
� JAX-WS – Web Service support via the application server container
� Migration of WS Configuration
47 © 2011 IBM Corporation
IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
Event PropagationEvent Propagation
� Feature – A new 7.5 feature for the Integration Framework is the ability to recognize events from child objects
within an object structure. In prior releases, this was only supported if the business objects had this logic embedded within them. Now customers will be able to enable the events from child objects when the business object does not provide this capability.
� Planning– This new feature would be applicable in cases of ‘outbound’ integration using Publish Channels. For
use when an event from a child object within an object structure does not initiate an event through the Publish Channel
� Steps– How to configure
Using the Object Structure application, select the applicable object structure, choose Advanced Configuration under the Select Action menu and check the Propagate Events checkbox for the object where event behavior is desired.
– Verifying successful configuration
Using the relevant application, update an attribute of that object and verify an outbound integration messages is sent via the Publish Channel.
� Benefits
Provides event-based integration messages to external applications where in previous releases this behavior did not exist. Customers would often write custom code or do other configuration in order to work around this limitation.
48 © 2011 IBM Corporation
IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
App AuthorizationApp Authorization
� Feature:A new 7.5 feature for the Integration Framework is the ability to support the existing application authorization that is configured for User Groups. In prior releases, integration support for authorization was limited to object restrictions. This change will allow support for application configured authorization.
� Planning– This new feature allows integration implementations to leverage the application-based configuration for authorization
for ‘inbound messages’ and Data Export. An object structure can be connected to an application which would, in turn, point to an authorization configuration for a user group. The user on the inbound integration message would be used in combination with the application on the object structure to obtain the appropriate authorization configuration.
� Steps
– How to configure
Using the main tab on the Object Structure application, select the applicable application name to associate to the object structure.
– Verifying successful configuration
Send an inbound message to Maximo where the action/operation of the message is in conflict with the users authorization and confirm that a security-related error is generated.
� Benefits– Provides improved/expanded support for authorization as it relates to an integration message.
49 © 2011 IBM Corporation
IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
BIDI SupportBIDI Support
� Feature
A new 7.5 feature for the Integration Framework is the ability to support the conversion between the Maximo BIDI format to an external BIDI format for both inbound and outbound messages
� Planning
– For a Maximo implementation in a BIDI language that requires integration to another application in a different BIDI format, this new feature provide the capability to transform messages from one BIDI format to another for both inbound and outbound messages.
� Steps
– How to configure
There is configuration at the object structure, standard service and external systems levels to enable BIDI. See the Deep Dive section for more details.
– Verifying successful configuration
Send/Receive messages using a different BIDI format than the one being used within Maximo and verify proper conversion of data.
� Benefits
For those customers operating with BIDI, this features allows them to integrate with another application in a different BIDI format.
50 © 2011 IBM Corporation
IBM Maximo Briefing
© 2011 IBM Corporation
App Import/ExportApp Import/Export
� Feature– A new 7.5 feature for the Integration Framework is the ability to enable importing and exporting of
data directly from an application such as Assets or Work Orders.
� Planning– This new feature allows integration implementations to leverage the application-based configuration
for authorization for ‘inbound messages’ and Data Export. An object structure can be connected to an application which would, in turn, point to an authorization configuration for a user group. The user on the inbound integration message would be used in combination with the application on the object structure to obtain the appropriate authorization configuration.
� Steps
– How to configure Using the main tab on the Object Structure application, select the applicable application name to
associate to the object structure.
– Verifying successful configurationSend an inbound message to Maximo where the action/operation of the message is in conflict with the
users authorization and confirm that a security-related error is generated.
� Benefits– Provides improved/expanded support for authorization as it relates to an integration message.

JAXJAX--WS compliant web servicesWS compliant web services
� Description
– An important interoperability feature in IBM Tivoli Automation Engine (TPAE) is the deployment of Integration Framework (I-F) services as web services enabling the interaction with external applications via web service calls.
– Starting in TPAE 7.1, the I-F supports web services interoperability by means of an AXIS2 based implementation:
Inbound - TPAE's web services are deployed to an AXIS2 container for external applications consumption.
Outbound - I-F provides a SOAP handler based on AXIS2 ServiceClient APIs designed to call external web services.
� Features:
– Incorporate the deployment of web services to TPAE's Application Server Web Service Container by means of JAX-WS standard.
– Enable use of WS-* standards (WS-Policy, WS-Security, etc).
Leverage application servers to support WS-*
– ITCAM support for TPAE Web Services
– Allows clients to move off Axis Web Service container
– Leverage application servers' support of WS standards (WS-Policy, WS-Security, etc).

Migration of Web Services (WS) ConfigurationMigration of Web Services (WS) Configuration
� Features:– It is the objective of this enhancement to
Enable the migration of web service configuration between TPAE instances.
Supported via Integration Framework or Migration Manager
� Planning Web Service Deployment– This new feature would be applicable for customers working with Integration Framework services (Enterprise, Object
Structure, Standard)
– Customers need to identify which web service container is more appropriate for their integration scenarios
For web services created in previous TPAE versions, customers need to decide if a web service container migration is needed
� Steps– How to configure
Using the Systems Properties application, set
mxe.int.containerdeploy property value that corresponds to the web service container ofchoice. In TPAE 7.5 installations this property value is being set to 1 by default.
Verifying successful configuration
Using the Web Services Library application, select and deploy a web service. Initiate a web service call from external system.

What is a script?What is a script?
� Short pieces of code
� Simplified programming model
� Usually used to glue or extend applications
� Usually interpreted (vs compiled Java or C/C++)
� Example – add all asset spare part quantities together and set total into ASSET.SPAREQTY:
spPartSet = mbo.getMboSet('sparepart')
partCount = spPartSet.count()
totalQty = 0.0
for i in range(partCount):
partMbo = spPartSet.getMbo(i)
totalQty += partMbo.getDouble('quantity')
mbo.setValue('spareqty',totalQty)

Why scripting?Why scripting?
� Java skills considered onerous
� Java customizations increase IT costs
– Java/JEE developers
– API knowledge/compatibility
– Performance/functionality issues
– Build process for WAR, EAR, JAR files
– Server shutdown / re-starts
� Scripting promotes simplified programming model
� Scripting is completely dynamic (no server re-starts)

Scripting Strategy for 7.5Scripting Strategy for 7.5� Tpae 7.5 exploits scripting API that is part of JDK 6
– JSR 223 – standardized scripting API for Java
� Supports two script engines out of the box
– Rhino JavaScript (embedded with JDK 6, compliant with JSR 223)
– Jython 2.5.2 (newer version compliant with JSR 223)
� Other JSR-223 compliant script engines can be seamlessly plugged in
– Provides programming flexibility to clients and practitioners
– Example: Jacl, JRuby, Groovy, Jawk
– Place JARs in application server classpath and re-start server
� Tpae scripting can be enabled for many different configurations
– No longer limited to just actions
– Script creation and management remains the same
� Tpae scripting supports simple coding approach
– Launch points offer closer alignment with Tpae applications and configurations
– Script variables and bindings to pass in data and return results
– Detailed knowledge and experience of Maximo APIs not a pre-requisite
