Install multiple instances of Maximo 7 using WebSphere

The previous versions of Maximo all came with an installation guide that helped you install a Maximo application server for production purposes and also for testing or development purposes.  In most cases, this is how most of our applications are setup.  Unfortunately, Maximo 7 does not come with any demo data or even an installation guide for installing a MaxTest instance.  The Maximo install guide does show you how to install one instance on one server, but some of you may want to install a MaxTest application server as well as your MaxProd application server.  This guide will show you just how to add a MaxTest Maximo application using WebSphere.  It also assumes that you have successfully completed the installation for your Maximo 7 production application.

Step 1:

Create a backup copy of your Maximo production database.  I will assume most of you know how to do that, but if you don’t, you can find a guide for backing up a SQL Server database here or an Oracle database here.  After you have created a backup, restore the database and name it MaxTest.

    One question: In Step 7 you change maximo.properties. Isn’t it necessary to encrypt the file after doing these changes?

    • Chon says:

      No, you don’t have to encrypt for it to work. Encrypting it just ensures that no one snooping around on your server can see the passwords in plain text.

    quick questions:
    in Step 7, if we don’t have ‘mxe.int.webappurl’ in our maximo.properties file, do we add it? also, do we change mxe.name=MXServer to mxe.name=MXTest?

    Nice article. But what will happen when when you need to upgrade this environment.

    To create environments that can be upgraded later … you must use complete installation process of Maximo, plus for each installed environment there must be a backup of settings for the IBM ADE Service. I think on IBM Maximo site there is an article how to do this.

    • Chon says:

      I usually upgrade the original installation, then just copy that new install over the second instance.

      • djordje.popovic says:

        Yes but than you can lose something … for example if you have several instances development, staging, production, load … ?
