I have a requirement to add a link from a Maximo work order to an external system.  I have accomplished this using a Launch in Context tied to a button on the UI.  This works exactly as expected, however in order to make sure the link points to the right external environment, I have to hard code the url in the LIC record.  We have a Maximo system property that defines the url to the correct external environment.  Is there any way to import the system property into the LIC url, in a similar fashion to the use of bind variables?

Something like:

https://{system property}/view/{wonum}

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jeff,

Could you try like below.

https://${system property}/.....

Unfortunately that didnt work.  It still wants to treat the {system property} as a bind variable and throws an error that it cant find the relationship.

I was able to resolve this requirement by creating a DB relationship from the WORKORDER object to the MAXPROPVALUE object and inserting a bind variable into the LIC record to retrieve the Maximo Property value.  

The end result looks like

https://{maxpropvalue relationship.propvalue}/view/{wonum}

Hi Jeff, Did you set MAXPROPVALUE as the child object and use propname = 'PROPERTY_NAME' in where clause?. Just wanted to know how you created the relationship!
