Google Map in Workorder Tracking

Hello;

If you store coordinates in your workorders or location etc. you can show the places on google maps in Maximo. I implemented this on Maximo 6. There are many steps to accomplish this task.. I will tell you about it step by step…
1-You have to get a Google Map api key from this address: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html .. Write your maximo server address to the textbox and click Generate Key.. Note your key.. We will use it later…
2-Create iframe control: Go to %MAXIMOROOT%\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\controls and create a folder named: iframe. We will send data to google map script from this control. I assume that longitude and latitude are stored in Workorder object as Longitude and Latitude attributes…
Create a jsp file named control.jsp

<%@ include  file="../../common/controlheader.jsp" %>
	<%-- 
		PROPERTY	GLOBAL		VALUES
		id		true		...
		height 		false 		###
		width		false 		###
		url 		false		...
	--%>
	<mro:handleevent eventtype="loadinit">
		<mro:loadglobalproperties />
		<%
		int height = controlProperties.getInt("height", 100);
		int width = controlProperties.getInt("width", 100);
		String url = controlProperties.getString("src");
		%>
	mro:handleevent>
 
	<mro:handleevent eventtype="render">
		<%
		int height = controlProperties.getInt("height", 100);
		int width = controlProperties.getInt("width", 100);
		String url = controlProperties.getString("src");
		String apptitle = sessionContext.getCurrentApp().getAppTitle();
		psdi.util.MXSession mxs=sessionContext.getMXSession();
		psdi.mbo.MboSetRemote woSet=mxs.getMboSet("WORKORDER");
		woSet.setWhere("WOCLASS in ('WORKORDER', 'ACTIVITY') and istask=0 and boylam is not null and enlem is not null");
		System.out.println("WO Count: "+woSet.count());
		java.util.ArrayList coordinateList = new java.util.ArrayList(woSet.count());
		for(int i=0;i<woSet.count();i++){
		java.util.ArrayList coordinate=new java.util.ArrayList(5);
		psdi.mbo.MboRemote wo=woSet.getMbo(i);
		coordinate.add(0,wo.getString("WONUM"));
		coordinate.add(1,wo.getString("DESCRIPTION"));
		coordinate.add(2,wo.getString("STATUS"));
		coordinate.add(3,wo.getString("LONGITUDE"));
		coordinate.add(4,wo.getString("LATITUDE"));
		coordinateList.add(coordinate);
 
		}
		session.setAttribute("CoordinatesList",coordinateList);
		%>
		<iframe src="<%=url%>" height="<%=height%>" width="<%=width%>"> iframe>
	mro:handleevent>
 
 
<%@ include file="../../common/controlfooter.jsp" %>

Here we defined iframe control and we added the workorder information to the CoordinatesList variable of session.

Now create another file called allwoongmaps.jsp in the same folder..


	
	  
	    
	    
	    
	    <script type="text/javascript">
 
	    function initialize() {
 
	      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
	        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
			 GEvent.addListener(map, "click", function(overlay, point){
			 if (point) {
			     map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point));
			     var msg = "Latitude: "+point.lat()+"
"+"Longitude: "+point.lng();
			     document.getElementById("mypoint").innerHTML = msg;
			 }  //close if(point)...
 
 
		   });   //close GEvent...
 
			var yellowIcon = new GIcon();
	yellowIcon.image ="http://esa.ilmari.googlepages.com/markeryellow.png";
	yellowIcon.iconSize = new GSize(20, 34);
	yellowIcon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(9, 34);
	var turqIcon = new GIcon();
	turqIcon.image = "http://www.google.com/uds/samples/places/temp_marker.png";
	turqIcon.iconSize = new GSize(20, 34);
	turqIcon.iconAnchor = new GPoint(9, 34);
 
 
 
	 <%
	java.util.ArrayList CoordinateList=(java.util.ArrayList) session.getAttribute("CoordinatesList");
		for(int i=1;i<CoordinateList.size()+1;i++){
			java.util.ArrayList Coordinate=(java.util.ArrayList)CoordinateList.get(i-1);
			String wonum=(String)Coordinate.get(0);
			String description=(String)Coordinate.get(1);
			String status=(String)Coordinate.get(2);
			String enlem=(String)Coordinate.get(3);
			String boylam=(String)Coordinate.get(4);
			double boydouble=Double.parseDouble(boylam);
			double enlemdouble=Double.parseDouble(enlem); 
			String marker="marker"+i;
			String point="point"+i;
			String icon;
			if(wonum.equalsIgnoreCase("1000"))
			icon="yellowIcon";
			else icon="turqIcon";
			if(i==1){ %>
	        map.setUIToDefault();
			map.setCenter(new GLatLng(<%=boydouble%>,<%=enlemdouble%>), 5);
			<%}%>
	          var <%=point%> = new GLatLng(<%=boydouble%>,<%=enlemdouble%>);
			  var <%=marker%>=new GMarker(<%=point%>,{icon:<%=icon%>});
	          map.addOverlay(<%=marker%>);
	     <% 
	    }%>
	}
	}
	    script>

On line 7 we add our own Google api key that we noted before… and we create our own map from longitude and latitude information on Workorder…
Now open Application Designer and export your application as xml file.Save it and back it up. then add this line to whereever you want.

 src="http://localhost:7001/maximo/webclient/controls/iframe/allwoongmaps.jsp" height="200" width="500" id="genid_headera_4_child_1" />

localhost should be your servers ip…;
Save it and import from application designer.. Rebuild and redeploy… You’re going to see map like this…

Import AlnDomain from Excel Sheet

admin — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:04:52 +0000

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() &gt; 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…

Have a good day…

Database Export Utility

admin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:49:50 +0000

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….

Have a good day…

Maximo Debug Window

admin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:43:56 +0000

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…
