BenefitsFast deployment time with less risk

RulesManager allows you to configure Maximo faster fasterrule writing, faster testing, faster deployments. Wheneverthe rule writer is finished writing the rule or several rules incombination, they then simply click the publish button inthe editor. The rules are sent back to the Maximo server andthe new rules are instantly in place. No restart of the webserver, no redeployment or modification to the EAR files andno system reboots are required. A user can keep a Maximopage in a browser, modify a rule in the editor, publish andsimply refresh in the browser to test the rule. In this way, rules

can be tweaked and modified easily to reach the desiredresult. The development time savings are immense.

Reduced Risk

This capability greatly reduces the risk of configuring yoMaximo system compared to how you would have modify Maximo without Rulesmanager by extending tjava classes or creating triggers. Imagine the hundreds extended java classes that would have to be moved frodevelopment to testing to production, with the risk of ncopying all of them or not copying all of them correceach time. With RulesManager, you write rules and sendproduction services in a single file.

RulesManager sits completely on the outside of Maximo anever alters the base code.
