Maximo Quest

  Maximo’s NextGenREST OSLC API(s) are very powerful but they don’t provide the capability to handle SQL Conditions associated with Actions or Nodes. For example- A manual Input node in the workflow can have multiple actions available and they are to be shown on the basis of SQL Expressions then OSLC API returns all options when making API call w/o evaluating the SQL expression. To handle this, another feature to ca l l automation script using OSLC API can be used to return the response with a flag having true or false information. In the script below, let us assume we have a workflow on the PR object and we need to evaluate SQL conditions associated with a manual input node. From Postman make a GET call for each action: GET <servername:port>/maximo/oslc/script/<scriptname>?ownerid<x>&actionid=<y>&wfactionid=<z> & response of this script shall return true or false based on SQL condition evalauted. load("nashorn:mozilla_compat.js"); im...

Maximo has added this feature of API Key from Maximo 7.6.0.9 which can be used to overcome the unseen limitation. In the earlier versions of Maximo, creation of API for specific user and management of the key was not user friendly and it needed MAXAUTH to be passed to generate the API Key from REST/OSLC API call. With Maximo 7.6.1.2, API Key feature has been improved and now administrators can generate the API keys for users from Maximo UI and revoke them on the go. Once users have integrated Maximo with SAML authen...
