  • 1.  MAS 9 - Hosting of customization archives files

    Posted 04-30-2025 15:14

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup a jms server bundle (using this guide: www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-configure-jms-servers-maximo-manage ) and I'm at the point where I have to host the modified ejb-jar.xml file on http or ftp server so Manage can read it. I ended up finging a youtube video where the guy mentions the file can be hosted on Github. As anyone tried it? I would not want my repository to be public, so how could Manage get the credentials to connect to it? By using a personal access token?

    At first I hoped I could use a Persistent Volume pointing to our NFS, but IBM Support told me it wasn't possible... So by using github I would not have to setup and maintain a FTP server just to host the customizations files.

    I've never used customization files before, so any help/suggestions is welcome.

    Thank you.

    We used to host our customization in our Artifactory which authenticate by username/password, it worked well.  But recently our artifactory has changed authentication to use bearer token only.  Does anyone know how to feed bearer token to MAS Manage customization configuration?

    Hello Jiang,

    I ended  up using our ftp server to host the zip file.

    Inside the screen to put your customization archive, you have these options so as the suite administrator one should find the customization section using the update configuration. Once you do that, you will see many pod activities like config build,adminbuild,allbuild and so on and so long as the archive has files understanable to maximo.You can also use maxmanagedev-cli using oc and Docker behind the covers


    if the files are un reachable then MAS will keep on trying 20 times then it will start another build try 20 times and in that process may crash the cluster as well.
