Inserting Hyperlinks in Maximo

You can insert a hyperlink to a Maximo record within the body of your
communication template message that includes the application name and
record ID.
To insert a hyperlink in a Workflow communication template, insert the
following link into the body of your message:
http://:HOSTNAME/maximo/ui/
maximo.jsp?event=loadapp&value=:APP&uniqueid=:OWNERID
where HOSTNAME is the name or IP address of the MXServer.
When Maximo generates a notification, the application name and record ID
appear in the message as a hyperlink that leads directly to the record.
NOTE In order to be able to view the record, the e-mail recipient must be a Maximo
user with security permission to the specified application.

action messages, you must modify the logging.properties file. Default location:
applications\Maximo\properties
where is the folder where you installed Maximo.

# Enable crontask for ESCALATION
log4j.logger.Maximo.crontask.ESCALATION=DEBUG, A2
# Enable the following for Notification messages on logger
log4j.logger.Maximo.service.SYSTEM.COMMTEMPLATE=INFO, A2

DB config Restore Backup

Question: Error when running ConfigDB: "Tables exist that have not had their backup data restored. You must run restorefrombackup before you configure the database" But there are no backup tables to be restored. ???

Answer: This can happen if a table is manually restored via SQL rather than using restorefrombackup. A flag is left in the database that indicates restorefrombackup needs to run to restore the data from the xxtable_name to table_name.

To correct this you need to remove these flags from the database. To verify if these are incorrect run the following query.

select restoredata from maxtable where tablename='table_name'

select restoredata from maxtablecfg where tablename='table_name'

If either of these return a value of 1 they must be changed to 0 to allow ConfigDB to run.
