Goagent for mac download. Prospects Software published the GoAgent App for Android operating system mobile devices, but it is possible to download and install GoAgent for PC or Computer with operating systems such as Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Mac. Let's find out the prerequisites to install GoAgent on Windows PC or MAC computer without much delay.
IAS Navigator matches a graphic representation, or drawing, of a device and its elements with information about them in the database. The feature is especially useful for large complicated devices, like below – there are 31 small parts, each with unique name, purpose, period of service:
Using IAS Navigator, it is possible to add a picture of an assembly or device, connect it to the inventory database, and navigate easily between different parts of the device structure. To setup the connection between the device and all its elements, a table with a list of integrated items is required and needs to be uploaded into Maximo as a xls file. Then, update all required areas of the jpg file and save all updates by means of Editor, delivered as an addition to IAS Navigator (for more detailes refer to the user manual).
How it is used? As the cursor points to an area, the area is highlighted. Clicking an Item in the assembly structure displays the details of the chosen Item. As the cursor moves from one area to another, the focus moves from the initial area to a new area and the new area is highlighted. Simple and useful.
Benefits? Sure…

Starting Maximo developer
First, switch to Java perspective, Maximo Developer is designed to work in this perspective.
Next, make sure that you have configured all VMs that are needed for compiling your project classes. Maximo 7 uses Jdk1.5.0, Maximo 6 uses Jdk1.4.2, Maximo 5 uses Jdk1.3. Typically, you will use virtual machine provided by application server vendor. Below is an example for Maximo 6 and Weblogic 8.1. Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, and configure all JREs that you need.
Now, create a new Java project, and set JVM to the JVM of the application server you will be using for running Maximo.You can use existing source, download source from version control system, or create everything from the scratch, it won't affect Maximo Developer.
Next step is to define project's Maximo installation directory. Once you have defined it, project will become Maximo project, and Maximo Developer will start working.
Go to Project->Properties->Maximo properties
First text box, Maximo installation folder is self explanatory for versions 5 and 6. For Maximo 7 this is the uppermost folder in hierarchy, 'ibm'(For example: E:ibm). Maximo Developer will validate entered value, and check if this is really a Maximo folder.
You have to choose correct version of Maximo. Maximo Developer will check property file, and if it doesn't exist, it will report an error. For Maximo 5 you need to user MXServer.properties, Maximo Developer will not recognize any other property file.
Package prefix and class suffix properties need some additional explanation. As someone working with Maximo, you are certainly acquainted with class and package organization in Maximo. Package psdi is a root package for all business logic and web tier classes. When you customize some behavior in Maximo, typically you extend the existing class, and attach it to the object previously used by original class. You have to name a new class, and this name has to be different from original class. Prefix and suffix properties are designated to help with this and automatically choose the name that best suit you. Maximo Developer will keep the original hierarchy of packages for customized classes also, but will use package prefix as a root package instead of psdi. Class suffix will be amended to the class name, so that you can differentiate it from original class.
Example: you are extending the MboSet class psdi.app.asset.AssetAncestorSet (how you will do it will be explained in the rest of the document). You have set prefix and suffix properties as above. Maximo Developer will automatically create two new classes and two remote interfaces:
- custom.app.asset.AssetAncestorExt (Mbo class)
- custom.app.asset.AssetAcestorExtRemote (Remote interface for Mbo class)
- custom.app.asset.AssetAncestorExtSet (MboSet class)
- custom.app.asset.AssetAncestorExtSetRemote (Remote interface for MboSet class)
However, if you extend huge number of Maximo objects, formatting operation can be very slow. Typically, you would do such thing only for debugging purposes, because Maximo Developer inserts debug statements automatically. You don't need to format your code in that case, because you will delete it after you discover the bug. In such case, set this option to no.
Some of the classes that you extend using Maximo Developer have large number of methods. If you choose to override all methods from the superclass, you will litter your code with unnecessary methods. So, typically you will uncheck 'Override all methods from superclass' checkbox. You will leave it checked when you are extending classes for debugging purposes, because each extended method will have logging statement automatically inserted, so you can easily discover where the problem is originating. If you leave this checkbox blank, only abstract and most commonly used methods will be overridden.

After validation of Maximo directory, Maximo Developer will automatically import all necessary libraries from Maximo.
On the picture above you can see 3 libraries added automatically, two of them are actually links to Maximo classes.
On the build path you will see:
That means that build classpath is set and you don't need to set anything by yourself, unless you are using some other third party libraries.

Running Maximo Developer
When you have defined Maximo directory for your project (you can have many different projects with different Maximo directories, but let's focus on just one), make sure connection to the Maximo database is present.
From the Java perspective open Maximo view: Click on Window->Show View->Other..->Maximo->Maximo.
Navigate to the source folder in your project. Maximo view will then be populated with data from the Maximo database. If Maximo view appears on some other part of Eclipse workspace, you can drag and drop it where you want it to be.
Sometimes, you need different view of Maximo mbo and classes data. You can see this dataorganized by mbos and not by classes.
Switch to the mbo presentation usingthe drop-down list on the right side of the Maximo view.
On the toolbar of Maximo view you can see icons for main functionalities. Let's start with one that you'll be using most often: 'Extend existing Maximo class'.
Extending existing Maximo class
First you have to select class(es) to be extended. As you can see from the picture above, one class can be assigned to multiple Maximo objects or attributes. If you select the class, all this attributes and objects will be also selected. This means that when you extend the class, extended class will be assigned to all the selected attributes. If you want to keep old functionality for some of the objects , select just objects and attributes for which you want new class to be attached to. If you attach it by mistake to all of the classes, don't worry, there is an easy way to remove them, as you will see soon.
When you have selected classes and/or objects and attributes, click on 'Extend Maximo View' icon. New classes will be created and formatted with Eclipse formatter you have defined, and one of the new created classes will be opened in editor. Below is the example: user wanted to extend FldClassificationOrgid and attach it just to attribute ORGID of ASSETATTRIBUTE object.
You can see that extended class is opened in new editor. Extended class will extend all public methods of the original class and extend also most commonly used methods from the classes up in the hierarchy. For example, for all field classes, methods init, action and validate will always be overridden in the new class.
Take a look at a Maximo view now; you can see that its content has changed after we have extended the class. Now you can see '*uncommitted' part in the Maximo view, which wasn't there before. This reminds the user that these classes were not yet committed to the database. If you right click any element in that part of the tree, you will see popup menu as above. You should not commit changes to the database until you have made changes that you wanted and compiled the class. When you commit it to the database, new class is ready for testing.
You can also detach the created class. Attribute will use original class, but the new class is still in Eclipse, and you can attach it later to the same or any other Maximo object or attribute.
Creating new Mbo or field class
Creating new Mbo or field class is not much different from extending existing one. Basically you extend one of the basic Mbo or field classes. You will get the source code; class will be attached to the desired object. Only difference is that you will not extend all the superclass methods, because that would create hundreds of methods in the code. Only most commonly used methods will be extended.
Here is example for extending a field class; procedure is almost identical for a new Mbo.
You have to type in the name of the package and class name. You can choose Maximo object and Maximo attribute. If you leave blank one of these, class will be created, but not attached to any attribute. You have to choose one of the types of Field class from the radio button list.
Compiling Maximo classes
There is not much to say about compiling of Maximo classes. It is the same as for any Java project in Eclipse. However, some important features of Maximo Developer are happening in the background during the compiling, and you as a user should be aware of them.
After you compile the classes, Maximo Developer will check whether these are business objects or web tier classes.
Business objects will be copied to directory designated for them
(in Maximo 6 applications/maximo/businessobjects/classes), and web classes will finish in their own directory (applications/maximo/maximouiweb/webmodule/WEB-INF/classes for Maximo 6).
In order for web classes to be copied to the correct directory, they have tofollow the naming convention of Maximo Developer.
For example, if you define the root directory for custom classes as 'custom',all classes under the custom/webclient will be considered as web classes,and everything else will be copied to the bussiness objects directory.
Please make sure you follow this rule, otherwise you may lose time struggling withclasspath issues
After this, Maximo Developer will rmic all Mbos that don't have conforming stubs and skeletons. Rmicing will occur in the background, and you can see it happening on Eclipse progress bar.
You can check now, new stubs and skeletons are created.
Rmicing is an expensive operation and will occur only when no stubs and skeletons are found for Mbo, or when new remote method is added to Mbo or MboSet.
Synchronizing changes with remote interfaces
If you begin to use Maximo Developer, you will never need to worry about remote interfaces again. They are not real business logic interfaces anyway, just artifacts required by RMI protocol. As you have already seen, they will be automatically created when you create a new Mbo. If you change the class and add or remove remote method, or change the signature of remote method, all these changes are reflected in remote interfaces also. Method is considered remote if it throws RemoteException.
When you compile the classes after these changes, rmic will occur again in the background.
Detaching classes from objectsand attaching them to objects
You have already seen one way to detach a class from Maximo object or attribute-by right clicking on selected object(s), and select detach from popup menu. Another way is to detach a class is from Package Explorer or Navigator. Select the class you want to detach and right click on it. From the drop down confirm detachment from each object or attribute this class is attached to. If you want to detach class from all objects, just click on 'All' button.
Another useful way to detach a class is simple deletion from Package explorer or Navigator (if you delete a class directly from the file system while running Maximo Developer, nothing will happen). This can be useful if you extend lot of classes by mistake, for example. Another possible way to use this feature is for debugging. Maximo Developer will generate debug statement for each extended method. Also, debug level will be on the level of module, like in the rest of Maximo. For example, if you subclass the class from inventory module, logger will be maximo.application.INVENTORY. This gives you the power to use this for debugging. Suppose you have seen some bug in inventory module, and you are not able to find it, because you have lost the track of order of execution of field and Mbo classes. You would simply extend all inventory classes, both original psdi, and customized (if class to be created already exist, it will be used, so you don't need to be afraid that anything will be overwritten). Now change the logging level of maximo.application.INVENTORY to DEBUG in logging properties, and find out how calls are being propagated throw all classes in the module. Once you have found where the root of the problem is, just delete all unnecessary classes, and system will be in the state just before the massive extension.
As you can see from the picture above, you can attach existing class from the package explorer to Maximo objects or attributes. You can attach only field classes and MboSet classes, just like in Maximo Database Configuration. Maximo Developer will automatically recognize what type of a class is dealt with, and give you list of objects if this is MboSet, or list of object and attributes if this is field class.
