Hi Manoj
ReplyDeleteMy name is Hoang Nhan. I have just installed MX 7.5 with your instruction. But the step load database demo, I can't log on to MX 7.5. That message is: BMXAA7901E - You cannot log in at this time. Contact the system administrator. Please help me!
Hi Hoang,
ReplyDeleteCan you send me the logs on my mail id manoj.mawai@gmail.com.
Hi Manoj
DeleteI will send it to you later, because, now I were delete that server. I have other question if you have experience install maximo. That is: maximo only installed on windows platform? Because I have just installed maximo on linux. I only can install middleware, also install maximo asset management can't. That's true?
Good site ...
Deletetq u Manoj
May i expect more on Maximo integration with real scenario using TAMIT, OMNIBUS,TSM etc., in AIX environment ? or if finding any link please mail me at adatshs241@gmail.com
Hi Hoang,
DeleteFor previous issue like you were not able to log into maximo after installation I want you to try following credentials
username : maxadmin
password : maxadmin
Once you run the maxinst to load the dummy data then the default credentials to log in to maximo will be the above one.
Manoj Mawai, thank you very much!
