Building the Maximo EAR files for basic configurations

The enterprise archive (EAR) files contain all of the fields that are required to run an application. The build process creates the two EAR files that are used to deploy the Maximo® applications to the application server.

Before you begin

Update the Maximo database with application data by running the updatedb command.

About this task

The two EAR files, maximo.ear and maximoiehs.ear, must be built before they are deployed.

If you deferred application redeployment when you ran the installation program, you must build and deploy the EAR files. You must also build the EAR files when a database connection parameter in the maximo.properties file is modified.

When you build the EAR files, they are saved in the following directory: install_dir\maximo\deployment\default.

Procedure

  1. Open a command line and change to the install_dir\maximo\deployment directory.
  2. Run the following commands:
    Option Description

    On Windows:buildmaximoear.cmd

    On UNIX: buildmaximoear.sh

    On Windows: buildmaximoearwas8.cmd

    On UNIX: buildmaximoearwas8.sh

    Creates the maximo.ear file if your environment is running WebSphere® Application Server version 8 or a later version

    On Windows: buildmxiehsear.cmd

    On UNIX: buildmxiehsear.sh
