In this training module, you learn how to add fields to Maximo® Mobile

application screens.

2 2

When you have completed this module, you can accomplish these tasks:

Modify Maximo Mobile application XML files

Run importall and packagemobile commands

Restart IBM Maximo Mobile after making XML changes

3 3

First, before making any changes, make a backup copy of the Mobile

application XML file. The backup copy is the one that you modify or customize.

In this example, the backup copy file is mobilewo.xml.

4 4

Open the Mobile application XML file, mobilewo.xml, to begin making your

customizations. For this example, you add the ‘PMNUM’ field from the Maximo

WORKORDER table to the work order.

5 5

First, register the Maximo WORKORDER field in the corresponding

MobileMBO so that the data can be uploaded to Maximo, downloaded from it,

or both. Within the mobilewo.xml file under the WORKORDER mobilembo,

include a mobilemboattribute tag for PMNUM. Now, MobileMBO can hold the

‘PMNUM’ attribute from the WORKORDER MBO.

6 6

Next, locate the page in the XML that displays the PMNUM field. In this

example, the WOMAIN page is used. Add the text box with

dataattribute=“PMNUM” to the page, as shown. Make sure to use a unique

value for the text box ID.

7 7

At a command prompt, access the <maximoroot>\mobiletools\maximo folder

and launch the importall.cmd utility. Verify that the importall.cmd runs

successfully.

8

At a command prompt, access the <maximoroot>\mobiletools\maximo folder

and start the packagemobile.cmd utility. Verify that the packagemobile.cmd

runs successfully.

9

The login page is displayed when the application opens. Enter a user name

and password and click Go.

10

When changes are made to the Mobile application XML, you must download

the latest version of the Mobile application. Click either Yes or Install to

download any or all of the customizations that were made.

11

After the Mobile application updates are downloaded to the device, you get a

message to perform a full refresh of all device data. Click OK to perform the

full refresh.

12

IBM Maximo Mobile Work Manager is ready for use after the full refresh is

complete. Verify that the Work List displays the correct number of records that

are downloaded to the device.

13

From the Mobile start center, click Work List to open the list of WO records on

the device. Open the WO record to confirm that the PMNUM screen changes

were successful. This slide shows the record before and after the changes.

The PM text box is now blank.

Now that you have completed this module, you can accomplish these tasks:

Modify Maximo Mobile application XML files

Run importall or packagemobile commands

Restart IBM Maximo Mobile after making XML changes
