Configuring the provider properties file

The IT asset initialization process requires a properties file (maximoassets.properties) for assets. Integration Composer uses this file to define the hierarchical structure and class names for the target data schema, which is Maximo® Assets 7.5.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the <InstallDir>\data\properties\provider directory.
  2. In the provider directory, open the maximoassets.properties file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. For each level 1 property that contains level 2 classes, type the names of the level 2 classes that you use. For example, level2.Computer.classnames=Disk,Software,Network Card,Display,Printer; where Disk, Software, Network Card, Display, and Printer are class names for level 2 classes. The maximum number of levels in the classification hierarchy is three (root, level 1, and level 2). Do not attempt to create more than three levels.
  4. Optional: Remove or comment out any level 2 class names that you do not use.
  5. For each class (except for the root class IT Asset), specify the classstructureids defined for your enterprise.
  6. If you renamed classes in the schema, remove or comment out any <class name>.classsructureids lines for classes that are no longer part of the schema.
  7. After you enter all classes and classstructureids, save the properties file and close it. Configuration of the maximoassets.properties file is complete.
