Create view without an outage

Related: Audit tables don't require outage, but custom table does?


It's possible to create audit tables without needing admin mode.

If that's the case, then why would we need admin mode to create a custom view?

  • The two scenarios seem similar. I would think creating a custom view would be low risk. It seems like it should be possible to add a custom object to the Maximo data dictionary/cache on the fly — without an outage.


Could IBM consider letting us create view objects — without the need for an admin mode outage?

That would make our lives so much easier.
Imagine being able to do that! It brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.

    Thank you for your submission. We agree that this would be an improvement, but it is fairly significant. So for now we'll put it in the backlog and prioritize for a future release.

    Of all the RFEs we’ve submitted, this one is by far the most important to my organization. It would really be a game-changer.


    It's limitations like this that get in the way of getting work done. A lot of requirements require calculated fields and views. But, as soon as we see that a calculated field or view is needed, we know right away that it’ll be a huge pain to get it done in our clustered environments (and therefore likely not worth doing).


    Whereas in other systems, like ESRI/CityWorks (a Maximo competitor), we can create a view/calculated field with the click of a button. It doesn’t involve a big ordeal to add it to the server. It's quite an efficient and pleasant experience.
