Maximo

Hi All,

I was looking for the difference between Role Based Application vs the Maximo Mobile App for EAM windows app. I tried to search for the documentation by IBM but couldn't find it.Can someone please help me with it.

Hi Arya Vyas

I didn't found this kind of comparison in official IBM documentation. Based on my knowledge there are no functional differences but rather differences from the platform point of view. For example Role Based Application doesn't support offline solution. It's only available in Maximo Mobile APP. I would also expect that notifications (available from MAS) are working in different way.

As Bartosz mentions, the objective of our mobile applications is to try and avoid any functional differences between the web & mobile version of the application. The web & mobile applications are the same code base but there are some differences in the platform layer in how they operate because of the need to support offline for mobile. Web scenarios because we depend on connectivity, we will continuously pull the data from the server and only download that specific datasource. Mobile we will pull the data from the server as a combined request for all maximo-datasources with the same main object and then operate on the local sqlite database primarily. This is the biggest difference between how the two operate.

There are some inventory specific features that are disabled on mobile such as inventory reconciliation since that should be done in real-time with live data. But generally speaking, we work really had to support the same flows on mobile that we do in the web application.

If there are specific areas of interest or concern that I can expand upon please let me know.
