Maximo URLs

TPAE-based products like MAM, TAMIT, TSRM, CCMDB or SCCD provide a common way to open an application and perform some basic action like displaying a specific entry or performing a simple query. This can be very useful to integrate Maximo with other applications implementing navigation integration or launch in context.

The base URL has this syntax: http://[hostname]/maximo/ui/maximo.jsp?[arguments]
where:

• hostname - Server's host name
• arguments - A set of name-value pairs, similar to the HTTP GET request

In the arguments, you can define the following information:

• Run an application - event=loadapp&value=[appname]
• Login - login=true&username=[user]&password=[pwd]
• Open a record - uniqueid=[uniqueidnumber]
  The unique ID is created using an identity column and is typically hidden. It contains an integer sequence with increasing value.
• Open an application tab - tabid=[tabid] or changetab=[tabid]
  To determine the ID of a specific application tab, open the application in the Application Designer, and then open the Properties window for the tab. This parameter is used only when the search for a record yields exactly one response.
• Force refresh - forcereload=true
  ensure that the page is refreshed on subsequent launch of the target page.
• Perform an action - additionalevent=[action]
  Look at application sigotions for available values.
• Perform a query using QBE - additionalevent=useqbe&additionaleventvalue=[qbe]
  The additional event value contains a list of attribute value pairs in the format of key1=value1|key2=value2...
• Perform a query using a where clause - additionalevent=useqbe&additionaleventvalue=[qbe]
  The additional event value has the where clause of a valid SQL statement.
• Use the new skin - skin=tivoli09
• Use the old skin - skin=classic

Note: URLs must be properly escaped. For example the "=" character must be converted to "%3D" and spaces must be converted to "%20".
