Sending Maximo Asset Management error messages to integration users

When an external application invokes a Maximo® Asset Management web service and encounters a business logic error such as Invalid Site, the text of the Maximo Asset Management error message is not included in the exception that is sent to the client. To include the error message text in the web service response, you can add a webservices.unify.faults property to WebSphere® Application Server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to WebSphere Application Server administrative console and navigate to Servers > Server Types > Websphere application servers.
  2. Select the server name.
  3. In the server infrastructure section, select Java and Process Management.
  4. Select Process definition.
  5. In the Additional properties section, select Java virtual machine and then Custom properties.
  6. Create the webservices.unify.faults property.
    1. Click New.
    2. Set the name to webservices.unify.faults.
    3. Set the value to false. This setting enables the error message text to be propagated from the error condition that occurs during integration.
  7. Save your changes.
