  • 1.  How to configure the serverURL in MaximoAnywhere 7.6.4 apps distributed inhouse using MDM

    Posted Wed October 23, 2024 09:54 AM

    We are in the process of upgrading to 764. Built the WorkExecution App and uploaded to Maximo Server. Was able to point to the Maximo server during testing by manually entering the server URL. We would like to distribute the app through the MDM and while doing so would like to configure the server url as well. I have not found anything for Anyhwere on how to achieve this. But found something for Maximo Mobile where in we can configure the server url.

    Setting the URL of the Maximo Application Suite server in the Maximo Mobile application

    But adding the key values as suggested is not working. Any help ?

    Setting the URL of the Maximo Application Suite server in the Maximo Mobile application
    To use the Maximo Mobile application with IBM Maximo Manage, the URL of your Maximo Application Suite server must be set in the application. The URL can be set manually by the mobile user or set centrally for each user by using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) application.

    Hi @PRASAD PANDARI!

    With Maximo Anywhere such references to Maximo server should be set in MaximoAnywhere/build.properties file with below entries.

    adapter.connection.protocol=<protocol>
    adapter.connection.domain=<Maximo_EAM_Hostname>
    adapter.connection.port=<port>
    adapter.connection.context=maximo
    adapter.connection.user=maxadmin
    adapter.connection.password=<password>

    Did you try that?

    Regards!

    Hi Piotr Ozaist,

    I have configured the maximo server in the place you have suggested. However the end user app is downloaded from the app store which does not have this information.  We typically provide the server URL when app starts on the device. In our scenario, we are trying to publish the app via MDM tool and pre configure this URL Looking for help on how to do it .

    Hi @PRASAD PANDARI

    From what I know and understand from the information that I have you need to build in-house applications (separate for Android and iOS) and then distribute them into the MDM. It's not possible to use app from Apple Store and Google Play to cover your requirements in the way how it was designed for Maximo Mobile.

    I think these are main steps that you need to do:

    1. As @Piotr Ozaist wrote you need to set correct reference to your Maximo environment in MaximoAnywhere/build.properties and build dynamic part.
    2. Install "Maximo Anywhere application container" with all prerequisites and correct IFIX version.
    3. When you are ready build Maximo Anywhere application container (MaximoAnywhereContainer/build.sh) binary files one for iOS and one for Android .
    4. Publish APK (Android) and IPA (iOS) app to your MDM. Binary files that were generated in step 3.

    Building in-house application for iOS device can be a little bit tricky because when you create and deploy a Maximo Anywhere iOS app, which is contained in an .ipa file, you must have all the appropriate Apple licenses.
