Maximo Query with Open Source BIRT Part 1
Do you have Maximo users who, for the most part, only need to run queries over your Maximo data? Most large organisations do and if you have not yet identified them then now may be the time. Maximo 7.1 and above, of course, comes with BIRT 2.3.2 as the bundled report writer software, however the open source community have developed BIRT beyond this version and at the time of writing 2.6.1 is the current release.
BIRT can be used for more than simple reporting duties so in this tutorial we look at how to use the latest version of open source BIRT as a query tool over Maximo, running from outside the Maximo environment and how to format the resultant “reports” to resemble the Maximo screen that the user would see if they were logged on to Maximo itself. Even if you don’t wish to report over Maximo, this tutorial provides a valuable insight into the advanced formatting capabilities of BIRT.
This tutorial is a free chapter which adds to my BIRT for Maximo Self Study Workbook, which is available now from http://www.birtreporting.com/BIRTTraining.html
