Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to configure Doclinks from scratch in Maximo Manage and would really appreciate some guidance on the complete setup process. I couldn't find a step-by-step reference that covers everything clearly. Has anyone done a clean Doclinks setup recently and could share the necessary steps?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Hari,

Please refer to the below IBM link for the attachment configuration related information.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/masv-and-l/maximo-manage/cd?topic=libraries-configuring-storage-attached-documents

This is for pre MAS Manage, but should get you closer to where you need to go. It'll be for network or local disk storage, but you should be able to adapt for S3 and other storage options.

This is for MAS 8 and on: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-set-attached-documents-file-storage-maximo-manage

Hi Hariprasad,

I recently wrote a blog about safely modify DOCLINKS. This may help you in starting from scratch. The IBM Articles the other provided are good as well. You'll have to create a S3 Bucket or a PVC in your MAS Workspace and configure system properties correctly. See the link to the blog below:

Thank you,
