33 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Security Group
- A Maximo record that bundles application authorizations, object authorizations, and data restrictions; users inherit permissions by being assigned to one or more security groups.
- Object Authorization
- A security record granting or denying actions (select, insert, update, delete) on a business object such as ASSET or WORKORDER; separate from application-level authorization.
- Application Authorization
- A security record that grants or denies access to a specific Maximo application and its options; required in addition to object authorization for a user to work in that app.
- Default Insert Site
- The DEFSITE value on a user record that determines which site's records default when the user creates new records; users without one see all authorized sites.
- Database Configuration
- The Maximo application used to create or modify attributes, relationships, and indexes; changes require admin mode, configdb, and a JVM restart to take effect.
- Application Designer
- The Maximo tool for configuring presentation of an application: adding fields, tabs, lookups, and conditional expressions without changing the underlying database schema.
- Cron Task Setup
- The application where scheduled background jobs are defined and started or stopped; each instance has a schedule and parameters and can be run immediately.
- Domains
- Maximo value lists used for field validation and lookups; ALN domains reference a Maximo value list, while synonym domains reference a synonym list.
- Workflow Process
- A Maximo record defining a sequence of nodes and connectors that route records through approvals and tasks; it must be activated to run against records.
- Escalation
- A scheduled Maximo process that runs a Java class, expression, or workflow on a cron-like schedule to enforce time-based business rules.
- Publish Channel
- A Maximo Integration Framework component that sends outbound data from a source object to an external system through an external system endpoint.
- Enterprise Service
- A Maximo Integration Framework component that receives inbound data and creates or updates records in a target object, often via an external system.
- System Properties
- The Maximo application holding tunable settings such as session timeout, mail server, and admin mode; some changes require a server restart.
- LDAP Authentication
- A Maximo v8 option where user credentials are validated against an LDAP or Active Directory registry via the WebSphere Liberty user registry configuration.
- SAML Single Sign-On
- A Maximo v8 authentication option where an identity provider authenticates the user and passes a SAML assertion to Maximo, avoiding separate Maximo passwords.
- Admin Mode
- A Maximo state that locks the database for configuration changes; only administrators can log in until the changes are applied and the server restarted.
- Migration Manager
- A Maximo tool that packages configuration objects such as applications, domains, and workflows for transport between environments; it does not move transactional data.
- Session Timeout
- A Maximo system property (mxe.webclient.sessiontimeout) that sets how long an idle browser session remains valid before the user must log in again.
- Email Listener
- A Maximo cron task that polls a configured mailbox and converts inbound messages into records or workflow actions based on communication templates.
- Password Policy
- Maximo settings controlling minimum length, complexity, expiration, and lockout for native user accounts; configured in the Users application and system properties.
- Work Order Status
- A Maximo domain controlling work order lifecycle, typically WAPPR, APPR, INPRG, COMP, and CLOSE; transitions are governed by workflow or the change status action.
- Preventive Maintenance
- A Maximo record that generates work orders on a schedule based on frequency and next due date; the PM cron task performs the generation.
- Job Plan
- A reusable library of tasks and labor, material, and tool requirements that can be applied to a work order to populate its task list.
- Storeroom Balance
- The quantity of an item on hand in a specific storeroom; issues reduce it, receipts increase it, and reorder points trigger replenishment.
- Relationship
- A Maximo definition of a join between two objects, such as WORKORDER to ASSET, used for lookups, child tables, and integration processing.
- Start Center
- A configurable Maximo dashboard of result sets and favorites shown after login; administrators assign layouts to users or groups.
- Report Administration
- The Maximo application for deploying BIRT reports, setting report parameters, and controlling which users or groups can run each report.
- Automation Script
- Server-side code in JavaScript, Jython, or Groovy bound to launch points or invoked by workflow and escalations to implement custom business logic.
- Launch Point
- A Maximo record that binds an automation script to an event such as object save, attribute change, or integration processing, determining when the script runs.
- Conditional Expression
- A Maximo expression evaluated server-side to control UI behavior such as hiding a field or enabling a button, and to drive workflow condition nodes.
- Message Reprocessing
- A Maximo application where failed integration messages are viewed, corrected, and replayed or deleted after the underlying cause is fixed.
- Audit Setup
- A Maximo application enabling audit tracking on selected objects and attributes; audit records are written to the MAXAUDIT table for review.
- JVM Heap Size
- The memory allocated to the Maximo Java process, set in the WebSphere Liberty jvm.options or server.xml; a key performance tuning lever.
