Background:
With Maximo 7.6.1.x, developers were able to create a local VM on their laptops. This allowed them to work independantly & remotely.
In MAS (specifically Manage), the direction is more of working either on a shared instance or each developer being provisioned a separate manage instance. This however, doesn't work for all organisations.
Challenge:
1. Good internet access is not always readily available.
2. Need to be able to work remotely (ie. on the train).
3. Laptops generally do not have the grunt to run full OpenShift + MAS + installation pre-requisites.
4. Organisations with many developers would find it hard/costly to provision a separate manage instance for each developer.
Need:
Documentation on how to create & run MAS Manage on a laptop in a disconnected environment. Similar to a VM. This should be a repeatable process that allows for environment refreshes to be easily pushed out to developers.

Thank you for your request. There are now options to run MAS Manage without openshift for development purposes only. More information can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/maximo-manage/continuous-delivery?topic=administering-setting-up-local-maximo-manage-development-environment
This is most definitely needed. Not even a luxury but a necessity
I developed a whole utility on my laptop's VM / Maximo during a flight from Calgary to Denver. We have several customers now using this utility in their Prod environments. Having Maximo / MAS Manage on an offline VM was key to this success.
