  • 1.  Integrate maximo on a third party software

    Posted Mon November 07, 2022 11:58 AM

    Hello,

    I have never used Maximo before, but I would like to know if I can integrate the Maximo Interface with another third party software. I use HTML5 on this software and I am wondering if I can use <iframe> to show the Maximo interface. I would like to be able to show especific Work Orders and be able to modify the data on them through this software.

    Thanks.

    Hi Pablo,

    I suggest you check out the Maximo REST API
    Ibm remove preview
    REST API
    The Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) provides a way for external applications to query and update application data in Tivoli's process automation engine.
    View this on Ibm >


    This is part of Maximo's integration framework which is extremely poweful and versitle for integrating with other systems.

    This will create a seamless way to surface the relevant details from the work order and you can also push updates back to maxmio as well if required.  You will need to consider licensing if you go down this path.

    You can also get swagger for your own your maximo instance 
    http://<host:port>/maximo/oas3/maximoapis.html

    There's a ton of informaiton in those links and that should get you on the path to get started.  Given your background with development I suggest this would be relatively straight forward for you.  Assuming you have a Maximo nistance to work with you will need to work with your Administrators to get credentials/api keys to use the APIs

    You can technically use an iframe to show the Maximo UI but the user will need to login with their credentials to the Maximo system to do it. If they're not using the Maximo application directly, my assumption is these aren't Maximo users so Michael's suggestion of using the REST API tends to be a better experience for the user. This way the UI can be consistent with the rest of your application and you send the necessary changes to Maximo. 

    I will caution you though that anyone using your application that can update records will need to have Maximo entitlements. Updating a WO requires licensing in Maximo and we have explicit terms about not circumventing licensing via technical means (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/licensing-information-and-usage-restrictions) which would apply with an integration.
