  3. New Window into Business Logic • Rule Explorer View allows a single View for Rules and Maximo Configurations: • Condition Expressions • Maximo AutoScripts • And RulesManager Rules (as always ) • Clicking on a Conditional Expression or AutoScript takes you directly to that entity’s Maximo Configuration page. • Clicking on RulesManager Rule opens the RM Editor.

Team Integration & Source Control • Rule Files are now Source Control Compatible in Eclipse • SVN (Sub-version) • Visual Source Safe • CVS • (please don’t) • Any Eclipse capable Source Control System • History, Revisioning, Check-in, Check-out with multiple developers • RM Support offers a free VM with a fully functioning SVN server and preconfigured repository for customers’ use.

  5. Rule Reporting Wizard • New Wizard in RulesManager Developer creates a spread-sheet to show all configured rules. • Sheets can be organized by any parameter (App, Group, Site, etc) so that each sheet in the spreadsheet will contain all Rules for the sheet’s condition. • Report can contain “Maximo” core logic configured in Conditional Expressions and AutoScripts.

  6. Enhanced UI Wizard • Control Picker • No longer needs to use Application Designer in Maximo to figure out the names for controls, tabs, sections. Etc. • Selecting “Use App Wizard” while building a rule presents you with a local (fast) representation of the Maximo presentation you’re configuring

  7. The Return of “Field Ordering” • Maximo has no facility to allow you to set “Tab Order” on an application’s page • (They fall out in “Presentation Order”) • RulesManager offered this capability in Version 5, but was forced to drop it in Version 6 of Maximo due to IBM’s major redesign of the UI. • Due to an overwhelming number of customer request, we have reimplemented

  8. Scripting Console • A JavaScript live console connected directly to your Maximo Instance directly in RulesManager Developer. • Vastly accelerate development of rules by allowing scripted access to the remote server. • Test rule snippets and logic directly in this new Console • Inspect or Modify any Maximo MboSet directly in the Rule Writing Environment.

  9. Remote Server Console • Not All Rule Developers can get access to the Maximo Log files from the remote serve • Especially true in SaaS or Hosted environments • Sometimes due to IT constraints and procedures • Click on your Server connection in RulesManager Developer and “Open Remote Console” • Connects immediately directly to the Maximo Logging Stream • All Console output written to the server logs is fed live to your log console in your Rule Writing Session.

  10. Live Rule Debugging • Set Break Points in Rules • Navigate in Maximo to a test case • The Debugger Perspective activates and you can single step and Debug the Rule
