Maximo with Liberty on Docker enables to run Maximo Asset Management with WebSphere Liberty on Docker. The images are deployed fine-grained services instead of a single instance. The following instructions describe how to set up IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.6 Docker images. These images consist of several components e.g. WebSphere Liberty, Db2, and Maximo installation program.
Before you start, learn more about Maximo WebSphere Liberty support from the official documentation. Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1 WebSphere Liberty Support

You can use a tool for building docker images by using the build tool.
Usage:
Usage: build.sh [OPTIONS]
Build Maximo Docker containers.
-r | --remove Remove images when an image exists in repository.
-R | --remove-only Remove images without building when an image exists in repository.
-rt | --remove-latest-tag Do not add the "letest" tag to the built images.
-c | --use-custom-image Build a custom image for Maximo installation container.
-v | --verbose Show detailed output of the docker build.
-p | --prune Remove intermediate multi-stage builds automatically.
-s | --skip-db Skip building and removing a DB image.
--deploy-db-on-runtime Deploy the Maximo database on runtime.
--push-registry=REGISTRY_URL Push the built images to a specified remote Docker registry.
--namespace=NAMESPACE Specify the namespace of the Docker images (default: maximo-liberty).
-h | --help Show this help text.
Procedures:
-
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/nishi2go/maximo-liberty-docker.git

-
Run the build tool
bash build.sh [-r] [-v] [-c] [-rt] [-p]
Example:
bash build.sh -r -v -rt -p
Note: This script works on Windows Subsystem on Linux.
-
Edit
docker-compose.yml
to enable optional services e.g. maximo-api, maximo-report and etc. -
Run containers by using the Docker Compose file to create and deploy instances:
docker-compose up -d
To scale servers with the
docker-compose --scale
option:docker-compose up -d --scale maximo-ui=2
-
Make sure to be accessible to Maximo login page: http://hostname/maximo
See the Maximo on Kubernetes document.
To install industry solutions e.g. Oil & Gas, Service Providers and the other offerings, you can use a custom Maximo dockerfile which aims to extend the original Maximo installation container. A sample script custom/Dockerfile
allows to run IBM Installation Manager, unzip Interim Fixes and/or etc at a build time. You can find a Maximo for Oil & Gas sample in the dockerfile. Please uncomment the section in the file to install the Maximo for Oil & Gas V7.6.1 onto Maximo Asset Management V7.6.1.2.
- Uncomment the installation section in
custom/Dockerfile
.RUN mkdir /work/oag WORKDIR /work/oag RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* COPY --from=0 /images/Max_Oil_and_Gas_761.zip /work/oag/ RUN unzip Max_Oil_and_Gas_761.zip && unzip oilandgas_7.6.1_launchpad.zip \ && /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl install com.ibm.tivoli.tpae.IS.OilAndGas \ -repositories /work/oag/OilAndGasInstallerRepository.zip \ -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/SMP -acceptLicense && rm -rf /work/oag/* COPY --from=0 /images/OG7610_ifixes.20200316-0706.zip /work/oag/ RUN unzip -o OG7610_ifixes.20200316-0706.zip -d /opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/ && rm -rf /work/oag/*
- Put the installation image, e.g.
Max_Oil_and_Gas_761.zip
andOG7610_ifixes.20200316-0706.zip
, to theimages
directory. - Run the build command with
-c
or--use-custom-image
.build.sh -c -p -rt
In order to install a second language, deploy demo data or change default passwords, edit the build.args
and .env
file before building the container images. The following parameters are available by default.
build.args
# Deploy DB schema on build.
deploy_db_on_build=yes
# Enable and build the JMS services.
enable_jms=yes
# Update Installation Manager to the latest level.
update_im=no
.env
# Default passwords
ENV_DB_MAXIMO_PASSWORD=changeit
ENV_MXINTADM_PASSWORD=changeit
ENV_MAXADMIN_PASSWORD=changeit
ENV_MAXREG_PASSWORD=changeit
# Liberty admin user
ENV_ADMIN_USER_NAME=admin
ENV_ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeit
# Language installation
ENV_BASE_LANG=en
ENV_ADD_LANGS=de,fr,ja

The database deployment a.k.a maxinst and updatedb will be executed on the docker build time by default. It reduces to the initial start-up time, but longer the build time. When you want to switch the behavior to deploy the database schema on runtime, run the following procedures before building the images.
-
Uncomment the all
volumes
sections indocker-compose.yml
. -
Uncomment the maximo section in
docker-compose.yml
. -
Run the build command with
--deploy-db-on-runtime
or changedeploy_db_on_build
tono
inbuild.args
then run the build.sh command.Example:
bash build.sh -r -v -rt -p --deploy-db-on-runtime
-
Change the values of
ENV_GEN_MAXIMO_PROPERTIES
tono
in.env
Maxinst program supports to initialize and create a Maximo database that is called during the "deployConfiguration" process in the Maximo installer. This process is painfully slow because it creates more than a thousand tables from scratch. To skip the process, you can use a backup database image to restore during the build time in a maxdb container image.
- Move to the cloned directory.
cd maximo-liberty-docker
- Make a backup directory.
mkdir ./images/backup
- Place your backup image to the above directory.
- Build container images by using the build tool.
Building IBM Maximo Asset Management V7.6 images with an Oracle Database Container by using build tool
Oracle database containers are officially provided by Oracle from the repository. You can run the Maximo on Docker on top of Oracle Container. Currently, the supported installation process is database deployment on runtime only.
- An Oracle Database containar or any on-premise instance must be prepared before running
docker-compose
command.
-
Follow the guide from the repo to create an Oracle Database container.
-
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/nishi2go/maximo-liberty-docker.git
-
Place the downloaded Maximo, IBM Db2, IBM Installation Manager and IBM WebSphere Liberty License binaries into the maximo-liberty-docker/images directory.
> cd maximo-liberty-docker > ls -l images check.sh Dockerfile MAM_7.6.1_LINUX64.tar.gz packages.list wlp-nd-license.jar DB2_AWSE_REST_Svr_11.1_Lnx_86-64.tar.gz IED_V1.8.8_Wins_Linux_86.zip MAMMTFP7612IMRepo.zip v11.1.4fp5_linuxx64_server_t.tar.gz
-
Run the build tool Example:
bash build.sh -r -v -c -rt --skip-db
Note: This script works on Windows Subsystem on Linux.
-
Uncomment the all
volumes
sections indocker-compose.ora.yml
. -
Edit
docker-compose.ora.yml
to enable optional servers e.g. maximo-api, maximo-report and etc. -
Run the Oracle container by using the Docker Compose file to create and deploy the database instance first:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml -d maxdb
Wait until the text "
DATABASE IS READY TO USE!
" is shown in the logs.docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml logs -f maxdb
-
Run the Maximo container to deploy the database schema to Oracle database.
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml -d maximo
Wait until the text "
CTGIN5012I: The reconfiguration action updateApplicationDBLite completed successfully.
" is shown in the logs.docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml logs -f maximo
Note: It will take 3-4 hours (depend on your machine) to complete the installation.
-
Run the all other containers:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml up -d
To scale servers with the
docker-compose --scale
option.docker-compose -f docker-compose.ora.yml up -d --scale maximo-ui=2
-
Make sure to be accessible to Maximo login page: http://hostname/maximo
When you want to restore your database backup image on runtime, run the following procedures.
- Build container images first (follow above instructions)
- Move to the cloned directory.
cd maximo-liberty-docker
- Make a backup directory.
mkdir ./backup
- Uncomment the following volume configuration in
docker-compose.yml.
maxdb: volumes: - type: bind source: ./backup target: /backup
- Run containers by using the Docker Compose file. (follow the above instructions)
You can take a backup from the maxdb
container by using a backup tool.
docker-compose exec maxdb /work/db2/backup.sh maxdb76 /backup
Note: There must be one file in the directory. The restore task will fail when more than two images in it.
