Rebuilding and deploying maximo ear

Hello again,

In this post I am gonna show you how you can rebuild and deploy maximo.ear file everybody.

First of all, in order to do this you are gonna need to stop mxserver first

So step 1;

Log in to Websphere admin console. After you log in this is what you are going to see.

Step 2;

Now, expand servers and expand server types and click Web sphere application servers and select the server you want it to stop and then click stop like below figure.

Step 3;

After you make sure you stoped MXServer, now it is time to uninstall the old maximo.ear file to do that expand Applications, click enterprice application and and select maximo.ear file and click uninstall like below figure.

Step 4;

Now its time to rebuild the new maximo.ear and this the tricky part everyone now pay attention starting from this step.

Open the command promt and run cmd

And change the directory to this C:\IBM\SMP\maximo\deployment

Note: It may in a different directory in your system of course so be careful about that.

Step 5;

Now run the buildmaximoear command 

Step 6;

Wait untill this process finishes,

note : it will take 5 to 10 minutes to build the maximo.ear file

Step 7;

After you finish building maximo.ear file go back to the Websphere admin console and expand applications and click install.

Once you click install you will see something like this.

And now specify a path of your maximo.ear file which will most likely be in this path

“C:\IBM\SMP\maximo\deployment\default\maximo.ear”

And then click next. 

Step 8;

Choose fast path and click next.

Step 9;

Click next again.

Step 10;

Choose all of the components like below. And click next

Step 11;

On the layout in front of you apply multiple mapping and select maximo host like below

Step 12;

Click next.

Step 13;

This will take some time like 15 minutes.

Step 14;

When you see this screen click save.

Step 15;

After you click next it will take you enterprise applications again so if you see this you are on the right path. Now expand server types and click Websphere application servers and start Mxserver.

Step 16;

Now here is out last step,

Go to enterprise applications again and start maximo.

Sorry about this I already started mine but you will see something like this.
