Results

Maximo Manage is activated, the second part of its deployment process starts, and is eventually completed. To access Maximo Manage, first you must configure at least the admin user to have permission to access Maximo Manage so that you can connect to Maximo Manage with it.

What to do next

Do the post-deployment configuration, such as giving permission to the Maximo Manage admin user to connect to Maximo Manage. After the Maximo Manage admin user is synchronized, log out and log in again to Maximo Application Suite with the admin user and access Maximo Manage.

If you deployed Maximo Health as part of Maximo Manage, after the applications are activated, you must configure some system properties. For more information, see the Enabling data export.

When new versions are available, system administrators can update the deployed application. To update to a new version, in Maximo Application Suite, go to Suite administration, select Applications from the side navigation menu, and click Update available for Manage.

When updates are required, system administrators can also reconfigure and update initial implementations on the Manage workspace details page. To reconfigure and update changes, select Workspaces from the side navigation menu, and click Manage. On the Manage workspace details page, click Actions, and select Update configuration.
