Here is a good article for you system administrators. If you do a lot of development like we do around here, copying and moving Maximo databases can be a pain. This article on maintaining system properties when moving or copying databases should help ease the pain applies to Maximo 7. [IBM Support]
Maintain System Properties When Moving or Copying a Database
Did You Know...
As Maximo Experts, we have developed several add-on products for Maximo that mobilize the work force, simplifies assignments, provides ad-hoc reporting capabilities and facilitates the seamless integration of Service Requests into Maximo.
Check out our products by clicking on the following links: EZMaxMobile, EZMaxPlanner and EZMaxRequest.
Thanks for your posts!
The other things you should consider (when refresh DB in Test or Dev environment) are:
– remove users emails – because you don’t want them receiving notification from DEV.
– change system accounts (MAXADMIN, MAXREG…) passwords – good style to have different psw
– change passwords and URL in Interface table End points (if you have integration)
– delete scheduled reports – or users will get several copies of reports from different environment
That’s pretty much it. 😉
Cheers!
We are contemplating installing Maximo App on Linux instead of Windows for stability and security reasons. WE are looking for the pros and cons of this step, and thanks in advance.
