Understanding the integration with Maximo

The Asset Management Module provides out-of-the-box integration with IBM Maximo 5.x, 6, and 7.5. The link is created through a JavaScript control that lists the Meridian Enterprise documents that are linked to the currently selected Maximo asset. This control is inserted in the Maximo Attached Documents page. The integration is illustrated in the following figure. For more information about the integration, see Integrating with Maximo 6 or Integrating with Maximo 5.

In Maximo 5.x systems, the link is created by inserting references into the Maximo Attached Documents pages. These references access a web page that lists the Meridian Enterprise documents that are linked to the currently selected Maximo asset. The web page is generated by an extension of the Meridian Explorer client application. The integration is illustrated in the following figure.

In all Maximo systems, selected data from the Maximo database can be shown in the Meridian Enterprise PowerUser client by client extensions.

Meridian Enterprise PowerUser users can link documents to objects that represent the assets stored in Maximo. For more information about object and document linking, see the BlueCielo Meridian Asset Management Module User’s Guide.
