New and Expanded Integration Documentation in Release 2609

This edition adds or expands documentation for the following integrations. Some of these capabilities were available before 2609; what is new is their documentation in this guide.

Table 1. New and Expanded Integration Documentation in Release 2609

IBM Maximo Integration

This edition documents three separate Maximo flows: the master-data connection that synchronizes Locations and Assets, with its API Key, Basic and OAuth Token authorization options; outbound Work Orders created in Maximo from mRounds Issues with field and value mappings; and incoming Work Order events published from Maximo through the INNO_WO_mRounds publish channel.

For more information, see Establish a Connection with Maximo for Master Data Integration, Configure Outbound Work Orders to Maximo, Configure Maximo Work Order Events for mRounds.

Dozuki Integration

New documentation for turning on the Dozuki integration for a tenant and setting its API path, site URL and administrator account.

For more information, see Configure the Dozuki Integration.

AVEVA PI Integration

New and expanded documentation for receiving PI event frames by polling or by webhook, acknowledging each received alert in PI, and writing operator round readings back to PI attributes, with the PI Web API calls, payloads and sign-in for each direction.

For more information, see Integrate mRounds with AVEVA PI, Poll AVEVA PI for Event Frames, Receive AVEVA PI Event Frames by Webhook, Write Acknowledgements and Round Readings to AVEVA PI.
