C4018302 IBM Certified Deployment Professional – Maximo Manage v8.0 Practice Exam
Exam Number: 4362 | Last updated April 17, 2026 | 396+ questions across 5 vendor-aligned objectives
Deployment professionals who install, configure, and go-live with Maximo Manage v8.0 target the C4018302 credential. The exam validates the deployment-phase skills that administrators carry out less frequently — from initial installation through data migration, integration configuration, and cutover planning. Candidates should be comfortable with the Maximo Application Suite installer on OpenShift, database migration utilities, and the integration framework that connects Maximo to enterprise systems.
Scooping up 26% of the exam, Installation and Environment Setup covers the MAS installer, cluster sizing, storage provisioning, and licensing activation for Maximo Manage v8.0. At 22%, Data Migration covers MIF imports, MXLoader patterns, and migrating from on-premises Maximo v7 deployments. A further 20% targets Configuration for Go-Live, covering security groups, start centers, and initial application designer customization.
Slotting in the remaining domains, Integration Setup accounts for 18% and spans publish channels, enterprise services, object structures, and endpoint configuration during deployment. Cutover and Verification represents 14% and spans cutover runbooks, smoke-test protocols, and production-readiness validation. Deployment questions reward answers that protect the go-live date — pick the option that reduces risk even if it adds effort.

10 of 396+ questions
Question #1 - Installation and Environment Setup
A deployment lead at Aldermere Utilities is installing Maximo Manage v8.0 on a new OpenShift cluster.
Which Maximo v8.0 deployment installer approach fits?
A) Use the Maximo Application Suite (MAS) installer targeting the OpenShift cluster, following the v8.0 prerequisite checks, storage provisioning, and license activation steps
B) Install Maximo directly from source RPMs outside OpenShift
C) Install v8.0 on a single developer laptop for production use
D) Skip the MAS installer and deploy raw YAML by hand
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
The MAS installer with prerequisite checks, storage, and license activation is the v8.0 deployment reference. Source RPMs, laptop deployments, and raw-YAML approaches all miss the documented path. Source: Check Source
Question #2 - Installation and Environment Setup
A v8.0 cluster-sizing review at Thornlands Water finds the default worker nodes too small for the planned workload.
Which deployment-environment adjustment fits?
A) Use undersized nodes and accept OOM kills
B) Ignore sizing and rely on pod-level autoscaling to solve any shortfall
C) Size the OpenShift worker nodes per the MAS v8.0 sizing guidance and confirm the storage class meets Maximo’s IO requirements before running the installer
D) Skip capacity planning because Maximo handles it internally
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
MAS v8.0 sizing guidance plus appropriate storage is the deployment reference. Autoscale-only, undersized nodes, and no-planning all fail deployment discipline. Source: Check Source
Question #3 - Installation and Environment Setup
A v8.0 license-activation task at Bridlewick Steel must comply with entitlement requirements.
Which MAS v8.0 deployment step fits?
A) Install the entitlement key via the Maximo Application Suite admin interface during or immediately after the installer run so the platform is properly licensed before go-live
B) Skip entitlement and run unlicensed
C) Reuse the entitlement key from a different product
D) Disable license checks to bypass activation
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Entitlement installation via the MAS admin interface is the v8.0 deployment reference. Unlicensed runs, key reuse, and disabled checks all violate licensing. Source: Check Source
Question #4 - Data Migration
A deployment team at Penmaster Shipping is migrating asset master data from an on-premises Maximo v7 deployment to Manage v8.0.
Which v8.0 migration approach fits?
A) Run an ad-hoc script that alters the v8.0 tables directly
B) Copy the v7 database files directly into v8.0 storage
C) Skip migration and re-enter every asset by hand
D) Use MIF imports with defined object structures — or the MXLoader utility for bulk spreadsheet-based loads — validating data in a non-production v8.0 environment before cutover
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
MIF imports and MXLoader with staging validation is the v8.0 migration reference. Direct DB copy, manual re-entry, and ad-hoc schema writes all fail migration practice. Source: Check Source
Question #5 - Data Migration
An MXLoader run at Briarhollow Manufacturing rejects many rows due to data-quality issues.
Which deployment-team remediation fits?
A) Force the data in with validation disabled
B) Capture the rejection report, cleanse the source data in staging (fix invalid statuses, mapped code lookups, required attributes), and re-run the load — keeping rejection artifacts for audit
C) Silently drop rejected rows from the source
D) Abandon the migration
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Rejection report driven cleansing with staging validation is the MXLoader reference. Disabled validation, silent drops, and abandonment all fail data migration. Source: Check Source
Question #6 - Configuration for Go-Live
A v8.0 go-live at Forestmere Minerals requires security groups aligned with the client’s org structure.
Which v8.0 deployment task fits?
A) Skip security groups until after go-live
B) Grant all users the same authorizations
C) Configure security groups reflecting the roles in the org structure, grant application-level authorizations per group, and assign users or AD groups to the Maximo security groups
D) Share a single admin login
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Security groups aligned to roles with scoped authorizations is the v8.0 go-live deployment reference. Universal authz, post-go-live security, and shared admin all fail deployment discipline. Source: Check Source
Question #7 - Configuration for Go-Live
A v8.0 go-live at Harbourmast Bank needs distinct start centers for Planners and Technicians.
Which deployment configuration fits?
A) Disable start centers at go-live to reduce complexity
B) Share one generic start center for everyone
C) Require users to build their own start centers before go-live
D) Build role-specific start center templates and assign them to the Planner and Technician security groups so each role’s start center reflects their daily tasks
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
Per-role start center templates is the v8.0 deployment reference. One-size-fits-all, user-built, and disabled start centers all fail go-live readiness. Source: Check Source
Question #8 - Integration Setup
A v8.0 deployment at Clerebank Energy must publish Work Order updates to an external system during go-live.
Which integration-setup step fits?
A) Email spreadsheet updates to the external system daily
B) Define the Object Structure for Work Order, configure a publish channel with the external endpoint, enable event listening, and verify messages in a staging environment before cutover
C) Have the external system poll the Maximo database directly
D) Skip integration and reconcile manually after go-live
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Object Structure plus publish channel plus event listening, validated in staging, is the v8.0 integration-setup reference. Email, direct DB polling, and manual reconciliation all fail integration deployment. Source: Check Source
Question #9 - Integration Setup
A v8.0 integration at Longhaven Rail receives inbound work requests from an external system.
Which v8.0 deployment configuration fits?
A) Expose the Maximo database to the external system directly
B) Configure an enterprise service with an appropriate Object Structure and endpoint so inbound messages create or update Maximo objects, with error queues for rejected messages
C) Have operators key each inbound request manually
D) Skip inbound integration and email back rejections
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Enterprise service plus Object Structure plus error queues is the v8.0 inbound integration reference. Database exposure, manual keying, and email rejections all fail integration discipline. Source: Check Source
Question #10 - Cutover and Verification
A v8.0 go-live cutover at Parkshore Manufacturing must ensure baseline work continues if issues emerge.
Which deployment-professional practice fits?
A) Run a documented cutover runbook with smoke tests, a clearly defined rollback plan, and post-go-live verification steps owned by named people
B) Execute the cutover without a runbook
C) Skip smoke tests to save time
D) Go live without a rollback plan
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Runbook plus smoke tests plus rollback plan is the deployment-cutover reference. No-runbook, no-tests, and no-rollback all fail go-live risk management. Source: Check Source
