Hi Community

I am newb to this forum so please be patient if I make any stupid infractions.

I tried to post this before but for some reason its not appearing in the discussions area so apologies for duplication if it occurs.

I need to check if MAS 8.11 (inc. Maximo Mobile) conforms to ISO 8601 (related to time, timestamps, calendar formats), fairly sure it does but cannot find any IBM docs that state this.

Can anyone assist with finding said statement of conformance?

Many thanks in advance

Stuart,

I can confirm that Maximo uses ISO-8601 for external communication of date/time values but finding documentation confirming that is challenging.  

This 7.6.0.8 documentation on the MIF mentions that dates are in ISO-8601 (Page 263)

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLKT6_7.6.0.8/com.ibm.mif.doc/pdf_mif.pdf

and this document simply refers to it as ISO date format.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/mas-cd/maximo-manage/continuous-delivery?topic=criteria-where-clause-selection

Hopefully that is at least helpful as a starting place.

Many thanks Jason for the quick reply, I think if 7.6.x.x is compliant is safe bet that 8.xx-->9.xx will be too.

Not sure what your experience is with Maximo Mobile (for MAS) but am surprised that the documentation is so thin on the ground, having to raise support requests just to get basic info is surprising as IBM are usually so thorough with their documentation. Ho Hum :-)

Many thanks again !

Maximo Mobile integrates to Maximo using the integration framework, so yes, it is compliant! 8... 9... is MAS/Manage, which is mostly the same Maximo running in the application suite. 

Even more important, Maximo Mobile is made of a library of components, so you don't have to deal with dates and formats, we'd do it for you. 

Using the configuration tool and mapping UI elements to datasource attributes that are DATE/DATETIME related, the information will be parsed properly and sent to the server.

Feel free to reach out directly if you have any additional questions.
