Running the Plug-in Configurator
After the setup wizard is complete, an entry for the .NET integration plug-in configurator will be placed in the Start menu. It is important that the DataSplice Server is not running when the configurator is being used. Launch the configurator through the Start menu to input the remaining settings.
The plug-in configurator provides a friendly interface to assign the various settings required by the plug-in.
Identifying the Maximo Server & Default Login Information
| Maximo Server | The computer name or IP address of the Maximo server. If the port is different than the default, 7001, then the port number is also required. Example: maxprod:726 specifies that maxprod is the Maximo server and 726 is the port being used. Alternatively, you can enter the Maximo server's IP address, such as 192.168.45.1:726, rather than the computer name. |
|---|---|
| Site | Sites are used in Maximo to differentiate unique sections within a company. Each site can have unique data and work methods, while still being a part of the same company. |
| User Name | User name used to assist the DataSplice Administration Client in connecting to Maximo with a Maximo administrator's credentials. |
| Password | Password used to assist the DataSplice Administration Client in connecting to Maximo with a Maximo administrator's credentials. |
Enter the computer name or IP address of the Maximo server in the corresponding field. If appropriate, edit the other three fields in this section for the correct site, user name, and password.
Identifying the Maximo Patch Level
In this section, the patch level of the Maximo server is identified. This is a necessary step which allows DataSplice to use the correct plug-in files for that specific version.
To attempt to automatically identify the correct patch level of the Maximo server, click the Discover Maximo Patch Level button. Allow the configurator a few moments to locate this information. If the configurator can correctly identify the server and version information, it will display the relevant information in the Maximo 5.x Patch Level field. If it is unable to automatically locate the version information, a dialog message to this effect will be displayed. In this case, the server patch level must be manually selected from the dropdown list.
Specifying the Database Platform
The next section allows you to specify the database platform being used. This selection determines the specific views and scripts that the configurator will make available to you. Currently, there are options available for Oracle and SQL Server. You will later be required to run these scripts in the Executing the View Creation Scripts section of the installation process.
Choosing the Communication Method
The remaining section of the configurator allows you to specify the communication method you wish to use. Please see the next section for further details.
