Collect MustGather data for IBM Maximo Application Suite using the MustGather tool

 You can collect and provide MustGather data for your IBM Maximo Application Suite problem.

1. Where IBM Maximo Application Suite is installed:

• On Premises
• Amazon Web Services - Troubleshooting IBM Maximo Application Suite installation problems on Amazon Web Services
• Microsoft Azure - Troubleshooting IBM Maximo Application Suite installation problems on Azure
• Google Cloud Platform
• IBM Cloud
• Other cloud platform (and name)

2. Run the IBM Maximo Application Suite MustGather tools
Multiple namespaces are targeted by the IBM Maximo Application Suite MustGather tools. These namespaces are in the format:  mas-{{instanceId}}-core and mas-{{instanceId}}-{{appId}}. 

The instanceId was set during installation of IBM Maximo Application Suite.

The instanceId can be found postinstallation as well using the Red Hat OpenShift web console or by using the oc client.

Important:

• All the following actions need to be executed under a user that has admin cluster role in Red Hat  OpenShift.

• The oc adm must-gather command is available starting with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.x. If you get a message that the command does not exist, then, it means that you are using an older version of the oc cli. Run oc version command to check the oc cli version.

How to create a Entity Relationship Document (ERD) for MAS 8

The following are the steps for MAS 8.11 and beyond as well as 8.10 and prior versions

Steps

For MAS 8.10 and prior, do the following steps; 

• Access Manage Admin pod terminal - /tools/maximo/internal
• execute the cli  - generd.sh
• This generates the erd files inside /tools/maximo/erd
• You then need to download that folder with contents into a local device with browser 
• Then, access the erd/index.html by using the local browser - and browse the erd pages.

IBM - MAS : - Error AIUCO1026E: Unable to create user with id=, since it is already taken by a previously-deleted user.

The only way to restore the user or permanently delete the user from MAS is to update or delete the document in the mongoDB database.

Steps

1- Connect to the mongoDB shell 

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-open-mongo-shell-mas-mongodb

2- List the databases:

show dbs

3- Use the mas core database:

use mas_<mas instance id>_core

4- find the user you want to restore or delete:

db.User.find({"_id" : "testuser"})

When the user is deleted, the document will end with the deleted information, i.e. user who deleted the record and the time of deletion, for example:

"deleted" : { "id" : "masadmin", "timestamp" : "2023-11-28T09:56:29.840785" }

You can then either restore the user or remove it from the database

To restore the user, execute the following command:

db.User.update({username: "testuser"},{$unset: {deleted:""}})

Once the command is executed, the user is visible again in MAS, however it is not visible in Manage.

An update to the user in MAS will lead to a syncronization failure with Manage. You need to reactivate the use in Manage.

To remove the user, execute the following command:

db.User.deleteone({username: "testuser"})

If you create a new user with the id of the user that you deleted, the synchronization with Manage will fail, you will have to reactivate the user in Manage.

The instructions to reactivate the user in Manage are here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/reinstating-deleted-person-record-maximo

NOTE: removing the user from the database is permanent, it is recommended to have a working backup before attempting such operation.
