Scenario : To dynamically change the ToList : SendFrom, ReplyTo based on the record. This technote is intended to provide step by step process to achieve the functionality. Method & Reasoning : It is not ideal to update the Communication Template with the  ToList  details everytime the record is updated or on any trigger and then call mbo.SendMessage() method. If two records are being saved at the same time there could be a refetch error on the COMMTEMPLATE object. Hence we are going to have the sender details stored based on the record and send a notification with dynamic sender details using the communication template. Implementation : 1. Create a communication template: Go To --> Communication Templates Applications --> Create New  CT Name : WOSTATUSNOTIF Description: Notifies concerned group on Work Order status change Applies To: WORKORDER Accessible From: ALL #Adding person group to to,cc to: WOPERSONTOGRP cc: WOPERSONCCGRP bcc: NA Subject: Work Order :won...

Problem Scenario : Getting system#notboundexception error while testing an RMI connection to Maximo from an external application Steps to Deploy and test an RMI connection with Maximo Successfully. 1. Maximo.properties file Edit or make sure these properties exist in the maximo.properties file that is built and deployed for rmireg.war and maximo-MIF.ear Note : Ports that are used for RMI needs to be added to firewall settings and the maximo.properties file. RMI is registered on a port,  mxe.registry.port. RMI uses the port added to  mxe.rmi.port while external system communicates with Maximo. Ex in my case I have added 1099 as a RMI communication port and it is registered on 13400. Make sure all the jvms, other than RMIRegistry have a  -Dmxe.name given in their jvm arguments. This will allow the jvms to be recognized by custom names. Ex.In my case MXMIF is the  -Dmxe.name  name for integration jvm. In the maximo.properties file, find or add // Name to bind th...
