You use the GIS Admin (Spatial) application to create relationships between feature classes in the GIS (geographic information system) database and the assets, locations, service requests, and work order database tables in the Maximo database. A GIS feature represents a physical entity, such as a pole, road, or parcel, on a map. A feature is comprised of geometry (point, line, or polygon) and business attributes (such as a unique identifier, address, or owner). A feature class defines the GIS entity. All of the records in a feature class have the same geometry type.
By creating the relationship between feature classes in GIS and your Maximo data, you can then link Maximo records to GIS records. After you create a link, you can display an asset record, such as a pole, on the Map tab in the Assets application.
To create a relationship, you select a GIS table. The system then selects the appropriate Maximo database table, based on defined column names added by scripts run during the installation and implementation process.
The GIS Admin (Spatial) application contains the following page:
Feature Class: to select GIS feature classes and link them to Maximo database tables.
