'Get Value' action type

In an escalation/action: It would be handy if there were a way to get a value (via an autoscript, etc.) and return the value as a variable to the escalation's SQL condition. For example, an action & automation script could be used to get the v...

Create custom table or view object without db config

We can enable(create) audit tables without needing a db config outage. If that's the case, then why do we need db config to create a custom table/view? Aren't the two scenarios similar? I would think a custom table/view would be low risk. It seems...

Create custom dialogs via Application Designer UI

Rumor has it that Control Desk has a way to create custom dialogs from the UI in Application Designer. Can we get that functionality in core Maximo too? It would be a lot easier to create dialogs in Application Designer, compared to doing it in XM...

Need an exist() method in MboSetRemote()
