Configuring the Self Service Center
As an administrator, you can configure various aspects of the appearance and behavior of the Self Service Center application.
- The items included in the navigator, the order in which they are displayed, and their appearance.
- Items that provide a link to a process automation engine dialog, an external web page, or user-supplied javascript class.
- The items displayed in the My Requests pod.
- Miscellaneous other details.
Many of these configuration updates require changes to the parameters stored in the Self Service Center properties file. This file is retrieved by the Self Service Center when it starts and is found on the administrative workstation at this location:
<drive>:\ibm\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\javascript\com\ibm\ism\pmsc\dojo\config.properties
If you modify this copy of the file, you must then rebuild and redeploy the maximo.ear file. However, if you prefer, you can modify the copy of the file that is stored on your J2EE server. By doing this, you can test the changes made prior to final deployment.
On an installed server, it is found at this location:
<drive>:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\ctgAppSrv01\installedApps\ctgCell01\MAXIMO.ear\maximouiweb.war\webclient\javascript\com\ibm\ism\pmsc\dojo\config.properties
