Uploading customization_binaries.zip directly to OpenShift simplifies deployment by avoiding external image builds and registries. It enables faster updates and avoid problem with security teams.

Provide customization_binaries.zip in a custom container

Start by creating a new project:

oc new-project nginx-custom-binaries

Create a New App Using the NGINX Template

oc new-app --template=openshift/nginx-example --name=nginx-custom

Check the Pod Name

oc get pods

Look for the pod name that starts with nginx-custom-. You’ll need this for the next step.

Upload custominization_binaries.zip

oc cp customization_binaries.zip <pod-name>:/usr/share/nginx/html/customization_binaries.zip

Check the Route to Access Your App

oc get routes

This will show the external URL where your custom NGINX content is being served.

Try to download on your machine, appending customization_binaries.zip. Like:

http://xxxxxx/customization_binaries.zip

Configure Customization Archive on IBM Maximo Application Suite Dashboard

Access the Admin UI in IBM Maximo Application Suite: e.g.: https://admin.apps.<CLUSTER NAME>

1. Navigate to Catalog -> Manage:

2. Navigate to Actions -> Update Configuration:

3. Scroll down to Customization and click Edit:

4. Under Customization section, uncheck System Managed option then paste the URL to the customization archive:

http://xxxxxx/custominization_binaries.zip

5. Scroll up and click Apply Changes:

6. In the OCP Console, head to Workloads -> Pods, then filter by the mas-<MAS NAME>-manage project. You should see a new pod called admin-build-config-x-build being created:

7. Click the build pod, then select Logs tab

Wait for Complete

OR Configure a Customization Archive in Manage Deployment via Red Hat OpenShift Console

These steps explain how to configure a customization archive directly in a Manage Workspace instance, instead of using the MAS Admin UI console.

1. Log in to the OpenShift Console

2. Navigate to Administration > CustomResourceDefinitions, then search for and select ManageWorkspace.

3. Choose the ManageWorkspace instance associated with your MAS deployment.

4. Edit the YAML Configuration

Go to the YAML tab and append the customizationList property under spec.settings. This should include:

customizationArchiveName: a name for your archive
customizationArchiveUrl: the URL or path to your archive file

Example:

spec:
  settings:
    customizationList:
      - customizationArchiveName: my-custom-archive
        customizationArchiveUrl: https://example.com/customization_binaries.zip

5. Save the YAML File

Once saved, the Manage deployment process will automatically reconcile and apply the new customization archive. This may take several minutes depending on the archive size. The Manage application servers will restart during this process, so plan for a potential downtime window.
