How to remove /maximo from context

From: Ruth (2012-05-18 18:39)

Hi Everyone,
We have upgraded our Maximo from 7.1.1.5 to 7.1.1.10. In 7.1.1.5, the maximo URL is http://servername:port#. But in 7.1.1.10, users have to add /maximo after the port number. It looks like this http://servername:port#/maximo. Since the maximo shortcut on user's desktop is without /maximo. So We would like to remove it from URL.
I modified application.xml and deployment-application.xml file to remove /maximo from context section. But it didn't work. Does anyone know what else I have to change?
Thanks,
Ruth

Hi,
I think your 7.1.1.5 instalation did not use the default path for installation.
In 7.1.1.6 and 7.1.1.8 the default path uses the /maximo path.
That URL is determined by the path to the login.jsp file. So you could move all of the fields up one level and recompile the EAR. I reccomend that you not do that.
If this is still in test then uninstall completley and start over with a new oerating system install and change the install path.
You could have a web page at the URL that would redirect to /maximo.
Or just get everyone to change their shortcuts and live with all of the calls that Maximo is not working when they fail to change the shortcuts.

I found the solution for this. I modified deployment-application.xml and removed /maximo from context section. The file is in <install drive>:\ibm\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\META-INF folder.
Here is the old code.
<web>
<web-uri>maximouiweb.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/maximo</context-root>
</web>
Here is the new code.
<web>
<web-uri>maximouiweb.war</web-uri>
<context-root></context-root>
</web>
Thanks.
