Preliminary step: Creating Maximo views

This task is only for Centennial Discovery 2006 and Centennial Discovery 2007 adapters. Perform this task to run database scripts that create Maximo® views. The database scripts run against the SQL Server (the source database for Centennial Discovery), adding the Maximo views needed for the Centennial Discovery data schema.

About this task

Before you can use the Centennial Discovery 2006 or Centennial Discovery 2007 integration adapter, you have to run a script (for creating Maximo views) against your Centennial Discovery database. To do so, use the following file (where installation_dir is the directory where Integration Composer was installed):

installation_dir\data\dataschema\centennial2006_2007\createViewsForMaximo.sql

You can edit any of the created views to fit the needs of your business.
