Creating a Field Class

Author: admin Post Date: February 24 2009

Hello;

Another basic java functionality is to create a field class. Assume that you have a field. And if it is filled you have to make it readonly to prevent anyone changing the field. I’ll assume this field is WORKORDER.ASSETNUM… To do this we have to extend psdi.app.workorder.FldWOAssetnum class which is default class for this field. Here is the basic code..

package custom.workorder;
import psdi.mbo.*;
import psdi.util.*;
import psdi.app.workorder.FldWOAssetnum;
import java.util.*;
import java.rmi.*;
 
 
public class newFldWOAssetnum extends psdi.app.workorder.FldWOAssetnum
{
public newFldWOAssetnum (MboValue mbovalue) throws MXException, RemoteException
    {
        super(mbovalue);
    }
public void init() throws MXException {
        super.init();
        if(!getMboValue().isNull()) //If the value is not null
        {
            getMboValue().setReadOnly(true); //make it readonly
        }
    }
}

After this you have to write ‘custom.workorder.newFldWOAssetnum’ to the class field of WORKORDER.ASSET in database configuration.

Run configdb
Build maximo.ear
Redeploy maximo.ear

Have a good day…

Database Export Utility

Author: admin Post Date: February 24 2009

Hello;

There is a little known utility that helps us to export maximo database. This utility helps us to export database in any db type. For example assume that we are using oracle but we want to export database to use it in DB2. We can use this utility. It supplies us a maximo.db2 file which is like we use in maxinst.bat. You can find it in %MAXIMOROOT%\tools\maximo\internal\Unlcvt.bat

Here are the parameters that you can use with this tool:

Runs psdi.configure.Unlcvt.
The default name of the output file is Unlcvt.ora (Oracle), Unlcvt.sqs (SqlServer), or Unlcvt.ddl (DB2).
The default database is defined in the maximo.properties file.
The commandline parameters for overriding the defaults are listed below.
Also see javadocs for psdi.configure.Unlcvt.
-a (db alias)    Database alias. If not specified, uses mxe.db.url property.
-f (filename)    Filename for properties file.  If not specified, uses maximo.properties.
(Also see -k parameter for propfile directory.)
-k (propfile dir)    Directory for properties file.
(Also see -f parameter for propfile filename.)
-o (filename)    Filename of output file (without path or extension).
-p (password)    Password for database connection.
If not specified, uses mxe.db.password property, or "maximo".
-u (username)    Username for database connection.
If not specified, uses mxe.db.user property, or "maximo".
-x (db platform)    Output to a different db platform that the one being used for input.
(The default is to output to the same platform.)
Values for platform are: 1=Oracle, 2=SqlServer, 3=DB2.

Example Usage:

1

Unlcvt.bat -x3 

  exports database as db2 file….
