Hello Everyone,
I know there are various ways out there for moving configuration, building
EAR etc but I needed some inputs on setting up a build process for Maximo
so that all custom code and configuration can be extracted out from the
Source control system, laid out on top of out of the box component and we
can
1. Build an EAR with all the custom java code
2. Create the database with all custom configuration.
Part 1 is easy to achieve and I would like more input on part 2. We have
Custom Database objects, Escalations, Workflows, Application designer
changes and all other kinds of configuration changes.
We extract these changes in a xml format and check in our source control,
these include all new configuration as well as any out of the box
configuration that was modified.
What we want to be able to do is that when we run maxinst.bat, the script
should first create the database using out of the box content and insert /
update the content from what we have checked out from our source control.
All inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
Jaiswal
Well the short answer is to use Migration Manager. MM works well, although as with most things Maximo, it takes a little time to get used to its little quirks. I assume you are talking about a baseline on a new instance. One of the challenges with MM is knowing what needs to be included in the packages. For a baseline on a new instance, this should be manageable as long as you've taken good notes as to what you've done.
