Maximo Youtube Links


Add embedded YouTube videos to any Maximo / SmartCloud Control Desk application

The following article will show you how to create a custom control wrapper for an embedded YouTube player.

1.            Create the control and component registry declarations for the new control

The main registries are located in (all paths are relative to the installation directory/application server deployment location):

applications/maximo/properties/product/control-registry.xml
applications/maximo/properties/product/component-registry.xml

We'll declare our new control in a registry extension in order to keep the main registries clear. Registry extensions are placed in the following location:

applications/maximo/properties/registry-extensions

Find the complete Control and Component registry files in Tables 1 & 2.

2.            Create JavaServer Page (JSP) wrapper

The JSP file name is defined in the component registry xml; 'video' below corresponds to video.jsp:

="jsp-filename">
ault-value>video
fault-value>


All component JSP files are placed in the following location:

applications/maximo/maximouiweb/webmodule/webclient/components

Find the complete video.jsp file in Table 3 below.

•  Find the YouTube video you want to embed and retrieve the associated metadata

a. I'll use the following video as an example: navigate to YouTube by clicking the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KLnuaSJxG8

b. Click on 'Share' then click on 'Embed'





c. Note the width, height and src attributes, they will be used in step #4.

width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5KLnuaSJxG8"

•  Add the control to an existing application

Finally, we add the control element to an existing application. For example, if you wanted to add a quick tutorial video to the incident application for new service desk agents:

a. Go To → System Configuration → Platform Configuration → Application Designer
b. Search for application 'INCIDENT'
c. Export application XML
d. Find an appropriate place for the video (such as a new tab) and add the following element (by default the example below will render a SmartCloud Control Desk video

NOTE: According to the component description, the element must be enclosed in one of the following element containers:
section, sectioncol, sectionrow, tab, page

f. Save and import the XML file.

•  Finished





Table 1: control-registry_video.xml
dir="webclient\controls" package="psdi.webclient.controls">
  riptor-class="psdi.webclient.system.runtime.DatasrcDescriptor" instance-class="psdi.webclient.system.controller.DatasrcInstance">
  
      ="jsp-filename">
        ault-value>video
fault-value>
    
       
       
ontrol-descriptor>

Table 2: component-registry_video.xml
dir="webclient\components" package="psdi.webclient.system">
 mponent-descriptor name="video">
  
     ="jsp-filename">
       fault-value>video
efault-value>
    
omponent-descriptor>
mponent-registry>

Table 3: video.jsp

<%@ include file="../common/componentheader.jsp"%>

<%
  String pageid = control.getPage().getId();
  MboRemote mbo = control.getPage().getDataBean().getMbo();
  String src = control.getProperty("src");
  String height = control.getProperty("height");
  String width = control.getProperty("width");

Skip fields during duplication

This article describes how to skip the user-defined fields during duplication of a record.
To skip the user-defined fields during duplication of a record, complete the following steps:
  • Extend the existing MBO class, for example XYAsset.java

  • Define a static HashSet that contains the names of the fields whose values need not be copied from the source MBO to the target MBO. This HashSet is loaded in the loadXYSkipFieldCopyHashSet.
·         
private static HashSet<String> skipXYFieldCopy = new HashSet<String> ();

  • Define private boolean variable to check whether the HashSet has already been loaded. The HashSet is loaded only once since it is static. The same hashSet can be used by all duplicate methods after it has been loaded.
·         
private static boolean isXYHashSetLoaded = false;


  • Define method loadXYSkipFieldCopyHashSet() that loads the static HashSet with the names of the fields whose values need not be copied from the source Mbo to the target Mbo when a duplicate operation is performed.

private static void loadXYSkipFieldCopyHashSet() throws MXException,RemoteException

{

     isXYHashSetLoaded = true;

     skipXYFieldCopy.add("fieldname");

}
Override the skipCopyField() in the MBO. While this MBO is being copied, this method checks if each attribute needs to be copied by using the data from the static HashSet skipXYFieldCopy.

boolean skipCopyField(MboValueInfo mvi) throws RemoteException, MXException
{
      if(super.skipCopyField(mvi))
     {
         return true;
     }

      if(skipXYFieldCopy.contains(mvi.getName()))
          {
         return true;
      }
     return false;
}
Override duplicate method in the MBO to skip any user defined fields.
MboRemote duplicate() throws MXException, RemoteException
{
      if(!isXYHashSetLoaded)
        {
         loadXYSkipFieldCopyHashSet ();
        }
           MboRemote dup = super.duplicate();

            return dup;
}

MEA Web services do not automatically redeploy when application server restarted

Problem(Abstract)

Looking at your Maximo interfaces, the "deployed as web service" checkbox is checked, but the web service is not available for use.

Resolving the problem

WebSphere:
A generic JVM argument is required to be set for the JVM to automatically redeploy the web services after the application server is restarted.

In the WebSphere console, navigate to your application server instance.
On the right side of the screen select "Java and Process Management"
Then, select "Process Definition"
Under additional properties, select "Java Virtual Machine"
In the "Generic JVM Arguments" field, add the following parameter:

-Daxis.EngineConfigFactory=psdi.iface.webservices.WSEngineConfigFactory

Restart the application server.

WebLogic:

Modify your service script to add the axis engine class, following the instructions below:

1. from the bea/user_projects/domains/mydomain folder, run uninstallservice.cmd

2. Edit the file in the same folder called installservice.cmd using a text editor

3. Locate the "set CMDLINE" section of the file (you will see two so both lines should be modified to include the Java option).
Modify the command line to look as it does below (note that weblogic.Server must be the last entry on the line.

BEFORE:
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.management.server=\"%ADMIN_URL%\" -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"

set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" weblogic.Server"

AFTER:
set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.management.server=\"%ADMIN_URL%\" -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" -Daxis.EngineConfigFactory=psdi.iface.webservices.WSEngineConfigFactory weblogic.Server"

set CMDLINE="%JAVA_VM% %MEM_ARGS% %JAVA_OPTIONS% -classpath \"%CLASSPATH%\" -Dweblogic.Name=%SERVER_NAME% -Dweblogic.management.username=%WLS_USER% -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=%PRODUCTION_MODE% -Djava.security.policy=\"%WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.policy\" -Daxis.EngineConfigFactory=psdi.iface.webservices.WSEngineConfigFactoryweblogic.Server"

4. run installservice.cmd and start the service.

Your web services should now deploy automatically upon a restart.

If starting WebLogic from a command line, edit the start script you use to start the application server in the same manner as above, making sure that weblogic.Server is the last entry on the command line in the script.
