Connect to container and you can check current directory

podman exec -it 40e118bf9318 sh

sh-4.5$ pwd

Update the properties in the

/opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/applications/maximo/properties/maximo.properties

file with the URL, user name, and password for your Maximo Manage database.

Customization

Copy files to container

Your source code must have the same directory structure used by Maximo

Get your source code, create a zip file and copy to container

podman cp mycode.zip  40e118bf9318:/home/maximoinstall/mycode.zip

Access your Maximo Manager container

podman exec -it 40e118bf9318 sh

Prepare environment

cd /home/maximoinstall

mkdir src target

cd src

unzip mycode.zip

Compile Java customization and create customization_binaries.zip

Inside the container, let's export environment variables

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java
export LIB_DIR=/opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/applications/maximo/lib/*
export CLASS_DIR=/opt/IBM/SMP/maximo/applications/maximo/businessobjects/classes/*

add the list of java files to sources.txt file

cd /home/maximoinstall/src

find . -name "*.java" > sources.txt

Compile files

$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac -d target -cp "$LIB_DIR:$CLASS_DIR" @sources.txt

Confirm that you dont have errors

Copy Non-Java Files using rsync

rsync -av --exclude="*.java" src/ target/

If you dont have rsync try this:

find src/ -type f ! -name "*.java" -exec cp --parents \{\} target/ \;

Create customization archive

cd /home/maximoinstall/target 

zip --verbose -r ../customization_binaries.zip *

How to test

Extract the content in the same directory structure as customization archive
Deploy customization archive on a test environment , or
Test customization archive use local container deployment for Manage without OpenShift and MAS for limited but fast testing
