Relationship Explorer

See how your Maximo objects connect, for the release and add-ons you run.

Pick your MAS release, your industry solutions and add-ons, and the business processes you care about. The explorer draws the objects involved and every declared relationship between them, straight from MAXRELATIONSHIP.

What connects to this object, and how?

Click an object to light up everything it points at and everything that points at it. Click a line to read the relationship: its name, which object defines it, the attributes it joins on, the scope and filter conditions, the declared cardinality and the exact WHERE clause. Pin several objects and keep exploring without losing your place.

Business processes as a layer

Work Management, Preventive Maintenance and Job Planning, plus inventory, purchasing, service desk and more. Show them together, see the objects they share, or show only the relationships that join one process to another.

Built from real Maximo metadata

Every release from Maximo 7.6.1 to MAS 9.2 is covered. MAS 9.2 opens with 2,385 objects and all 7,166 relationships from IBM's own 9.2 dictionary. MAS 9.0 and Maximo 7.6.1.1 are read from the demo database IBM ships inside its Manage image. Maximo 7.6.1.3 and MAS 8.11 (Manage 8.7) start from that 7.6.1.1 dictionary and apply every change IBM's own upgrade scripts state, each one naming its script. Component contributions are attributed from the MBO class hierarchy. Each view names the dataset it was built from.

Your customisations, checked against the upgrade

Add your own tables, attributes and relationships, or import them from your own MAXOBJECT, MAXATTRIBUTE and MAXRELATIONSHIP exports. They stay in your browser. The explorer draws them beside IBM's, shows where yours replace IBM's, and checks them against the release you are moving to.
