Upgrade of users from Maximo Asset Management to Maximo Application Suite
Users are added in Maximo® Application Suite and their profiles, login information, and application entitlements are managed in Maximo Application Suite. If you are upgrading from Maximo Asset Management to Maximo Application Suite with Maximo Manage, user data is upgraded.
If you are upgrading from Maximo Asset Management and use an integration to create or update users, you must send user data to Maximo Application Suite and not to Maximo Manage.
When you upgrade Maximo Asset Management to Maximo Application Suite, user and administrator records in the Maximo database are imported by Maximo Application Suite if they do not exist there or if they are not managed by an identity provider. Information includes language, time zone, and locale. Imported users are considered as already synchronized to Maximo Manage. User records also remain in the database that was upgraded.
If SMTP is enabled in Maximo Application Suite, a welcome email is sent to the email address that is associated with the user ID when the user or administrator account is created. If the SMTP email security is set to email passwords to all users, a second email is sent with the user or administrator password. If SMTP is not set up, or if passwords are not emailed to users or administrators, a Maximo Application Suite administrator must supply the password.
For the user synchronized between Maximo Application Suite and Maximo Manage, you can set different owner and issuer for different crontask instances. For more information, see Owner and Issuer for cron task instance.
