Change timeout setting without rebuilding EAR

It would be helpful we could change the Maximo Desktop timeout setting without rebuilding the EAR. Rebuilding the EAR file is a time-consuming process. Not all organizations can afford to do it for such a simple change. TS007879413

Better name for Quick Reporting applicaiton

Record cron task errors in a db table

Action Formulas

As an alternative to the Rules Engine idea, I wonder if IBM could enhance Maximo formulas by creating an "Action Formula" mechanism. Attribute formulas and object formulas already have most of the functionality that we’re looking for when it comes...
