Hello;
Now I am going to tell about custom action classes…
These classes help us to add custom actions to workflows…
We must write these classes in the psdi.common.action package.. We extend ActionCustomClass and override applyCustomAction method to make maximo do what we want to do…

}
public void applyCustomAction(MboRemote mboremote, Object aobj[])
throws MXException, RemoteException
{
com.custom.workorder.newWORemote mbo=(com.custom.workorder.newWORemote)mboremote;
if(mbo.getString("STATUS").equalsIgnoreCase("INPRG")){
mbo.getMboSet("OTHEROBJECT").deleteAll();
}
}
} |
Here on line 23 we cast our mbo to custom Workorder object. Now we are able to use workorder’s methods on mbo object. On line 24 we check if the status is INPRG or not…
And on line 25 if the status is INPRG we select the OTHEROBJECT relationship and delete all mbo’s that came with OTHEROBJECT relationship…
Then we compile the code… Rebuild Maximo.ear.. Redeploy it… Now you can use it in the related workflow..
Have a good day…

One of the best improvements in Maximo 7.x is conditional user interfaces. You can create your conditions in Conditional Expression Manager application. But sometimes there are some issues that you can not write sql sentences. For these cases we can write our own condition class. We must extend psdi.common.condition.CustomCondition class to write the new class. And we need to override evaluateCondition(MboRemote mbo, Object arg1) method. Here is an basic example..

Hello;
Now I will explain a bit about importing from excel sheet. Here I will use Jexcel Api to read excel files. This script was written for Maximo 6.2.1, and I will use Jexcel Api 2.6.9 which can be downloaded from here.
Here is the code:
/*
* addAlnDomain.java
*
* Created on September 2, 2008, 4:00 PM
*/
import java.io.File;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import jxl.*;
import psdi.app.system.*;
import psdi.mbo.MboRemote;
import psdi.util.MXSession;
/**
*
* @author bbolek
*/
public class addAlnDomain {
/** Creates a new instance of addAlnDomain*/
public addAlnDomain() {
}
public void add(String filename) {
try {
MXSession s;
s = MXSession.getSession();
s.setHost("localhost:9898/MXServer"); //Server Name
s.setUserName("wilson");
s.setPassword("wilson");
s.connect();
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(filename + ".xls"));
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
int k = 1;
String description, value;
MaxDomainSetRemote maxdomain=(MaxDomainSetRemote) s.getMboSet("MAXDOMAIN");
maxdomain.setWhere("DOMAINID='DOMAINNAME'");
maxdomain.reset();
MboRemote maxDomain=maxdomain.getMbo(0);
while (sheet.getCell(0, k).getContents().length() > 1) {
value = sheet.getCell(0, k).getContents().toString();
description = sheet.getCell(1, k).getContents().toString();
System.out.println("VALUE :"+value+ " DESCRIPTION: "+description );
ALNValueSetRemote alnSet =(ALNValueSetRemote) maxDomain.getMboSet("ALNDOMAINVALUE");
ALNValueRemote aln = null;
aln = (ALNValueRemote) alnSet.addAtEnd();
aln.setValue("VALUE", value);
aln.setValue("DESCRIPTION", description);
alnSet.save();
k++;
}
} catch (Exception E) {
E.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
addAlnDomain new_AlnDomain = new addAlnDomain();
new_AlnDomain.add("Example");
}
}In here; between line 28-32 server settings are set. Then on line 34 excel workbook is opened.
On line 35 first sheet is selected. On line 39 the domain with name “DOMAINNAME” is selected.
Line 42 shows that the loop will continue if there is a value on the first column of excel.
Line 43 and 44 reads the excel and sets the variables. And on line 48 we create a new ALNDomain mbo. And on 49 we added it to the AlnDomainSet.
Then we bind the variables and save the MboSet…
On line 62 we set the excel filename…Here it is Example.xls
All Mbo’s can be read from excel and imported to Maximo in this way. It is quite easy and customizable…For example you can set some rules to import in java like
-import data that starts with 1,
-import data which is like ‘%10%’
-etc…

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..

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

Hello;
One of the basic java functionality is to create new mbo’s and changing its default behaviour. For example we can create a new mbo as the child of Workorder. And assume there is a relationship between workorder and newMbo as wonum=:wonum. When we add a new record from the user interface, new record’s wonum is not populated automatically. So we have to extend psdi.mbo.Mbo to automate this. Here is how it is done….

Then you have to compile and rmic these files. Then Go to the database configuration find your object. Enter ‘custom.newMbo.newMboSet’ to the class…
Configure DB
Build Maximo.ear
Deploy Maximo.ear
Tip: It is better to make Wonum field readonly on user interface. Users must not change the field from the user interface
Then you’re good to go….

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:
exports database as db2 file….

Hello;
If you enter these to the address bar of your browser in any application of Maximo a new window appears which shows info about the client moves.. It is very useful for developers..
First enter..
javascript:eval(document.getElementById('debug_eventwindow').style.visibility='');And Then
javascript:eval(document.getElementById('commframe').style.display='');Then you will see a little window pop up on the left of the screen..
Have a good day…
