Applying Customization Archive into IBM Maximo Manage

Applying Customization Archive into IBM Maximo Manage
This document aims to help users willing to apply a customization archive to their IBM Maximo Manage instance. It is also helpful for applying LAFIX.
First of all, prepare your archive as usual for classic Maximo, keeping the folder structure from Maximo
root folder perspective. For example:
Archive name: LAFIX_uti_8.0.0_APAR_DT160717.zip (it could be any name)
image-20221216110242-1
Notice that in this example there is only one class (PlusDWOTasksBean.class) that is inside its desired folder structure.
Upload it to Box (or whatever endpoint that could be downloaded without authentication by the OCP cluster). In Box, make sure to do the following:
