Maximo Integration Framework supports customization of Object Structure in
Java, Automation Script or both at the same time.
Object Structure processing can be Outbound or Inbound:
- Outbound Object Structure custom processing can be performed during the serialization of Maximo business object (MBO) data into a json or XML message
- Inbound Object Structure custom processing will happen in inbound json or XML message before it is mapped to MBO business object data
What ? Outbound Object Structure processing functions using Automation Script
Why? Java Customizations for Integration processing needs an outage for deployment. Using Automation Script is more like a configuration and doesn't need any deployment or restart for a change.
Conditional Skipping (or excluding) columns and Overriding field values from other MBOs can't be achieved using processing rule configuration.
How to Implement ? Create an Outbound Object Structure processing script by selecting Create Integration Scripts from the Automation Scripting application. Choose any Object structure name - MXPR and select Outbound Definition check box.
Maximo will create a script with name OSOUT.<ObjectStructureName> and call the methods while processing Object Structure outbound operation.
