Setup a tool like Eclipse for use with Anywhere 7.6.4

  • 1.  Setup a tool like Eclipse for use with Anywhere 7.6.4

    Posted Fri May 15, 2020 07:20 AM
    Hi All,

    I am new here and I have been asked to look into Maximo Anywhere 7.6.4

    There is little documentation I found about how to edit the app.xml and how OSLC resources can be changed.
    But I cannot find documentation about how to setup a tool like Eclipse for use with Anywhere 7.6.4. 
    I can't imagine that all modifications have to be done with tools like Notepad ++

    Regards,
    Vincent Wanders

    Vincent -

    Hi.   There is information on-line - within this community and the Knowledge Center -  that reviews the process.   The process will vary signficantly however - based on the types of changes you are looking to configure in the app.  Here are some references to get you started -

    1. If you are looking to make changes to  the record sets displayed, this is a great video showing how quickly this can be done

    *Note:  Subscribe to the Anywhere You Tube channel to view more content:  https://bit.ly/3bf5wby

    2. Here is the link to the Anywhere 764 Knowledge Center Customization section
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.4/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/config_apps/t_ctr_cust_apps.html

    A3. nd here is some information you will find within this community - in the Library section
    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/internetofthings/communities/community-home/librarydocuments?communitykey=46655afa-6904-4ed3-a90f-18fb4481d535&tab=librarydocuments&FileType=Image&DefaultView=folder

    *Quick tip on the Library Section - on the far right - you will see two icons.  If you do not see a display in a folder/hierarchy structure - select the folder icon display - in that format.  The content seems to be easier to consume in that format.


    4.  Additionally, there is an Anywhere Configuration Course on IBM Skills Gateway.  Although it is based on an earlier release - the examples that are provided - may still be applicable to your configuration requirements in 764.
    https://ibm.co/3eraowd

    5. Finally - it is critical - that you have the skill sets to configure Mobile apps.   Configuring mobile apps is very different - and requires a different skill set - than configuring Maximo Classic apps thru App Designer.   These are the skill sets we recommend you have:

     - Deep knowledge of Maximo Asset Management
     - Working knowledge of how to set up and utilize development environment for Mobile applications (Reference tech note)
    - Mobile Development
    - Web Servers
    - Maximo's Database Configuration application

    Thanks and please let us know if we can help with additional details -

    Hi Vincent,

    Have you tried installing Vysor and use chrome to debug for Android?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eN2_NgADKQ&t=7s
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/maximo-anywhere-chrome-debug-android

    After installing an APK file, I could use Vysor as a simulator.  Then use chrome for inspection by clicking "inspect"

    For XCode simulator, you can run ./build.sh from MaximoAnywhereAppCntr directory and then open IBMWork.xcodeproj with XCode under  /Users/myuser/IBM/Anywhere764/MaximoAnywhereAppCntr/output/WorkExecution/platforms/ios directory. 
    Then click the Run button to run the simulator

    You can also use Eclipse for Anywhere 7.6.4 but there is no simulator

    Hi All.

    After configured the eclipse anywhere project, in library file was missing i.e anywhere-server.jar file, in installed Maximo anywhere server folder having only one jar file i.e commons-file-upload 1.3.1.jar file, but this .jar was missing.

    And modified any app.xml file when build the project throws an error, 
    C:\Users\Administrator\workspace\MaximoAnywhere\eclipse-build-trigger.xml:21: The following error occurred while executing this line:
    Target "-configure-all-apps" does not exist in the project "Anywhere-Apps-Builder-and-Deployer".

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Raj,

    Did you try copying anywhere-server.jar file from 7.6.3.1 environment under MaximoAnywhere/server/lib/ to 7.6.4 environment?

    Hi May On,

    Thanks for your suggestion,

    I've copied the anywhere-server.jar file into lib folder, again imported the anywhere project into eclipse, when build time the project it throws the same error.

    Hello Raj

    I am a newbie in Maximo Anywhere 7.6.4. I am having the same error that you had before and missing jar file (but I did not re-import Maximo Anywhere project). Now I am having the following error. Also, what exactly did you comment / uncomment in the anywhere-apps-builder.xml file?

    C:\workspaceMaxAny\MaximoAnywhere\anywhere-apps-builder.xml:1642: The following error occurred while executing this line:
    Target "-update-application-descriptor" does not exist in the project "Anywhere-Apps-Builder-and-Deployer".

    Victor,

    This is a really old issue (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/IJ28423) It was fixed in IFix 001. (IFix 005 came out in Jan.). I suggest you patch up first then update your project folder with the newest repository distribution from the delivered software.  Before applying patch however check the Software compatibility matrix.  You can find it by clicking on the Knowledge Center System Requirements link.

    Hopefully this will make it much easier.

    Good afternoon - 
    I have been struggling with this for a few days and I am hoping someone can help me along. The information in here and the tech note have gotten much farther but I seem to be missing something, 
    I have Maximo Anywhere 7.6.4 and have everything installed on the MacBook I believe. 
    I can see the MaximoAnywhere project in Eclipse. 
    I can run the ./build.sh all from MaximoAnywhere folder. 
    I can launch Xcode -> Xcode Simulator
    I can Launch Safari Technology Preview (STP)
    My issue seems to be that When I launch Xcode, I do not know what file to open up to get it to the simulator in the drop down menu. I see the Simulator itself in the STP but there is no application or index.html showing up. I guess  I am not opening the proper file in Xcode. Please help with this. 
    Thank you in advance., 
    Lon Stone

    Thank you for pointing me to the correct file location. I see the project in XCode. I then launch the XCode Simulator and it shows me a generic iPhone. I then Launch the Safari Technology Preview. I see in the Develop Menu drop down Simulator - iPhone 11 Pro but it does not show me the IBMWork project or index.html that I have open in Xcode. Seems like I am still missing something that links them together. 
    All help is much appreciated. 

    Thank you again,

    Lon,  good to see you on here!  I trust all is well with you.

    I have had some frustrating experiences on iOS/ MacOS with emulator/ as well as directly plugging device into MacBook.  I have had inconsistent response as to visibility of index.html in WebInspector (whether directly through Safari or through Safari Tech Prev.). So you may not be doing anything wrong or missing any step.  You might just be experiencing some technical incompatibility along the way.  I never did solve the issue.  I now use the Android emulator through the Mac version of Android studio to do what I need for development.  That has not failed me.  Best Regards.

    Open XCode and go to IBMWork project: 
    Xcode

    Open XCode Simulator:
    XCode Simulator

    Open Safari Technology Preview:
    STP
    As you can see the IBMWork -> index.html did not link to either the XCode Simulator or the Safari Technology Preview. 

    Thoughts?

    Hi Lon,

    Can you login to the app via XCode simulator?  
    If you hit the run button from XCode and you get error like "/Applications/IBM/Anywhere/MaximoAnywhereAppCntr/output/WorkExecution/platforms/ios/IBMWork.xcodeproj Building for iOS Simulator, but the linked library 'libCookieManager.a' was built for iOS.", you can select the error message (those ones in red) and delete them
    Hit the run button again.
    Try to login via the simulator
    Then you should be able to see the index.html from Safari Technology Preview
