Digital Experience

A clean, elegant code base goes a long way. It helps developers read and modify the code, sets a good foundation for future development, reduces technical debts and maintenance overhead, makes code easier to unit test, follows best practices, and much more. This still holds true in the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) world. However, many […]

The Task Recently I was tasked with creating a flat file export (csv) when receipt transactions are completed on POs within Maximo 7.6. I started as I would any integration, by looking through the Object Structures, Publish Channels, and External systems. I could not get a file to generate, and with the MXRECEIPT object structure […]

Metadata is defined as data that provides information about other data. In AEM, metadata is used to describe assets and content for information purposes, findability and delivery. Simple examples might be the title of a photograph, shot date, and photographer. AEM allows the grouping of metadata using Metadata Schemas. These schemas can be applied at […]

Taxonomy is a categorization framework used to identify or tag content. It sets the foundation for classification using a controlled vocabulary which leads to better findability and easier information management. A taxonomy should be agreed upon by business and content owners, and flexible enough to respond to changing business needs. Using the Taxonomy Features in […]

In my last post on public queries, I talked about problems with some of the current setups of Maximo users public query management. As a Maximo system administrator, there are ways to manage this, but user training is often the number one way to get his right. Teach them to not use the Public Query […]

It’s happened in more places and implementations than I can count. A client uses Maximo, and a user, we’ll call him Bob, comes up with some great and useful queries. The easiest way to share it? Make it PUBLIC! This is great that Bob can share the query with everyone that uses Maximo. And then […]

Years ago on a large project to implement Maximo SmartCloud Control Desk [SCCD], now IBM Control Desk [ICD], we all had our own instances for developing that we could refresh at any time. Even the architect team had their own instance. One of their team members tinkered around quite a bit. Since we became friends […]

Creating a standardized assets folder structure is one of the first tasks when building an enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. Often organizations are combining disparate storage systems into a single DAM, and it’s necessary to understand the way contributors classify assets internally, attempt to recognize patterns, and make improvements to better suit the needs […]
