what we are going to do here is look at
how to set up and configure the ibm
maximo listener agent
what it does is it allows you to monitor
and read data from
an ibm maximo system to edit your data
stream go to the toolbox and search for
the agent
you will find it under listeners click
on the agent and drag it to your canvas
as soon as you drop it on the canvas you
will see that it will be given a default
name
to rename this agent click on the white
space and start typing
click somewhere else on the canvas and
click save
to configure this agent click on it and
click on configure
first make sure you're using the correct
collection if you'd like to change this
just select another collection from the
drop down
next you need to set your polling
interval which is the rate at which
the agent will check for new records i'm
going to leave it as the default which
is 10 seconds
the authentication section add the url
of the maximo instance that you'd like
to connect to
then add your username
then add your password
next select your authentication method
i'm going to leave it as native now you
need to select the object you'd like to
connect to
select one or more output properties
select the unique id from the list
click apply and click save
now you can publish your stream by
clicking on publish
to view the live data click on live view
select your agent and click save
to demonstrate how this agent works i've
downloaded a rest api
app called postman which will allow me
to send the post request to a specific
address as you can see i've already set
this up in the app
i've started by selecting the method as
post
then i've added my address with one
parameter called lean and i've set the
value of that to one
in the headers i've added two headers
one is called
max off and then i have a value set here
which is a combination of my username
and password that has been converted to
base64
then i have another header in here
called content type
which is set to application json
in the body i have the record that i
need to post and the type is set to raw
to send this request i'm just going to
click on send
as you can see it came back as
successful
and there you can see the request has
come through and i can see data in my
live view
you
