Rman strategy plan

Dear gurus.
facts:
OLTP DATABASES
- 1 db 9204 in physical data guard (sid: 91) in another server (server2) (sid: 92) - ARCHIVELOG
- 1 db 9204 NO ARCHIVE (sid: 93) single instance
- 1 db 8.1.7 (sid 81) NO ARCHIVE
The databases (91,93, and 81) are in server1 AIX 5.3
sid 92 in AIX 5.3in another server.
DW DATABASE
- 1 db 11g r1 (11.1.0.6) is a DataMart - NO ARCHIVE LOG
- rhel 5.2
i want to plan and then deploy the best strategy in order to use rman with my actual configuration.
i should install rman (version 9) in order to backup 8 and 9i databases versions and then install or use rman 11 in order to backup my database 11g r1 ??
Thanks for your ideas.

1.) You always use the RMAN executable of the database version to do the actual backup. There is nothing to install or to read a compatible matrix about that.
2.) Since your 11g DB is not in archivemode, there is nothing else possible as a cold backup. You should do it with RMAN in the MOUNT state of the target instance.
I would not go so far to call that a "strategy", though :-)
Kind regards

Enforcing a strategy plan to only produce one order in a single month

Hello All,
I have created a strategy plan that kicks out orders monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually. I have used the cycle unit of "MON", so orders get generated in cycles of 30 days. Everything is working great.
Now, here's a business requirement: only one order can be created in a single month. So, if this strategy kicks out an order on 01/01/09, and they complete it the same day, the next order will be created for 1/30/09. What is the most effective way to enforce SAP to only allow creation of one order in a single month?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,
As Mr. Venu said along with the Key-date option the scheduling start date and call horizon is also important.

Strategy plan: deletion of shortest cycle & determination of call horizon

Dear colleagues,
I'm facing a weird situation on a strategy plan:
Initially I had following packages assigned in the task list: 1, 3 & 12 months. There have also been calls for the 1 month package.
In the meanwhile I have deleted the 1 month package from the task list and only 3 and 12 months is active.
When I take a look in IP10 at the next plan and call dates, I recognize that the call horizon for the call date is still calculated from the 1 months package.
I think this is not correct - or did I simply miss to do a restart in IP10 after deletion of the 1 month package in the task list?
Thanks in advance for your hints!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Santosh,
I've tried to use the refresh button in IP10. After saving IP10 the situation is not getting better - the difference between plan and call date is still calculated based on the lowest cycle (1 month), which was deleted from the task list in the meanwhile.
I've tried to run IP30 after the scheduling update in IP10 - but no change in situation.
Did I miss anything or understand something wrong?
Nevertheless, for the users it's be more easy to just push a button in IP10, then using the restart function with selecting a the right package as offset.
Regards & thanks,
Patrick

Strategy Plan with task list

Hi all,
can any one help me?
I create a strategy plan with one maintenance item and one task list, with one task list item, for example. After scheduling I get a maintenance order with two items. One item from the task list and one from the maintenance item and it´s necessary to confirm both order items.
It´s possible to create a maintenance order with only items from the task list?
Thank you for your support
Detlev

Detlev,
The PM/CS Order operations should only come from the task list that is assigned to the maintenance item.
If you are getting additional operations than are on the task list then its possible that you have:
- a system bug
- developed some new functionality

Single and strategy plan( What does it means )?

Hi all,
Please explain me what does single cycle plan and strategy plan means.
Following is my requirement.
( Since Swedish mills and other units use not only single cycle plans but also strategy plans , sometimes with multiple operations to each maint item, there is a need for cycle and cycle unit (interval) and work center on operation level on the layout in the report zpm_huvud.
There is also a need for maint plan name, plant section and work center (on operation level) as search criteria in the variant. The reason for this is that we use plan name as grouping criteria for multiple objects in rounds. The criteria work center description text should be changed into main work center.
We also need to be able to sort the answer in the layout in two ways : by functional location or by maintenance plan.
The plans that have object lists and/or have no operation lists also need to be shown in the report. All text on maintenance plan should be shown in the report )
Please explain me this with one example...
Its urgent.
Thanx in advance,
Amruta.

hi
single cycle plan
say for example you are planning to replace the bearing of a pump every 500 hrs of ruuning ,you use this plan to generated the maintenance order when the operating hours reaches 500 hrs.
Stratergy
In case of DG set there are lot of components to be maintained based on running hours for example for ever 100 hrs filters to be cleaned,every 500 hrs lub oil to be changed.In this case you can use strategy based maintenance plan .you can create 2 operation in the task list and assign to the respective package,so onec the 100 hrs has reached system will create maintenance call object as filters to be changed and in 500 hrs it will say lub oil replacement

How to change duration of Preventive Maintenance cylce in strategy plan?

Hi,
How one can change duration of Preventive Maintenance cylce in strategy plan?
e.g. In IP11 we set Preventive Maintenance schedule as monthly and we want to change it as quarterly i.e. every 3 months from starting date.
With Best Regards,
Rajkumar

Hi Mr Ramesh
Thanks for reply .
Kindly guide us about as what steps /Tcode need to be used to perform the following actions as suggested by you :
a) Delete orders.
b) Go to IP10 and Do a 'manual call' by entering the planned date to create orders for the deleted packages.
Or
Reschedule the Whole Maintance plan by entering appropriate dates.
c) Also please clarify , that how the new Orders will get generated against the Deleted Orders .
With Thanks and Rgds

Hi Anish.S,
According to your description, you want to backup SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) database.
Before we get to the backup and restore syntax, it’s worth noting that the Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliance architecture offers an environment that greatly enhances backup times (due to dedicated storage and network interfaces, see the following post
for more information -
https://saldeloera.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/lesson-1-of-parallel-data-warehouse-basic-architecture-overview/).
For more details how to backup and restore database on PDW, please refer to the following blog:

Counter Based Strategy Plan

Hi Dear All,
as per client requirement I want to create Strategy Plan (Counter Based) in which Maint call has to due on after every
100Hr & 300Hr. for that I created Meas Counter & assigned Lower Range: 0Hr & Upper Range: 100Hr.
after assigning Maint Strategy & counter to Maint Plan, I scheduled it. Initialy no any Meas Documents created so no any
Maint call due but after 1st Overflow at 100Hrs their r number of maint calls due(near about 42 maint calls due) on same
date for both maint packages. I didn't understand that, how miant call due for 300Hr Package(even it is not overflowed)?
Could any one plz explain me in details?
afterwords i created few more meas documents upto 320Hrs which would not make any effect on next scheduled calls. The
Scheduled call Status list is same as it is after 100Hrs.
Plz let me know where I was wrong?
Thanks in Advance...
Amol.

Hi Amol,
When you are maintaining a counter, you should not normally give Upper & Lower Limit.
You should Maintain Annual Estimate. What is that you have maintained in your Counter. I hope you have maintained a very low value or none.
Hence when you have created a measuring document of 100 Hrs, it has considered very short duration and calculated many calls same day.
Just Enter a Annual estimate say 8000Hrs (maximum possible practically is 8760).
Create anothert plan and just check with same measuring point after entering the annual estimate & removing limits. It should work.

Strategy plan- Automatic operation selection in tasklist

Dear PM Experts,
I have a requirement in strategy plan, where the strategy plan MIX_TRUCK which has 1M, 3M, 6M & 1Yr(Heirarchy-1) time based cycles.
Now i have a tasklist CON_TRUCK, which consist of all operations which covers all time cycles (1yr, 6M, 3M&1M)
I assigned this taskist & strategy plan to maintenance plan MIX_TR.
Now currently whenever the maintenance order created from this maintenance plan MIX_TR, all the operations in the task list are selected.
But my requirement is to select some operations for 1yr, and another set of operations for 6M, and different set for 3M.
Is it possible with configurable tasklist? If not is there any other alternate method to achieve?
Your valuable suggestions are highly appreciated........
VINOD.V

Attach your Operations assignment to Packages screen shot. Attach your Maintenance Strategy Packages screen shot. Attach your Call object operations tab which has been created screen shot.
Also, mention how do you want to have that??
Hope, you might have done something same like the above screen shot in your task list for operations assignment to packages.
If you want only "Operation 3" & "Operation 6" to be called at 3 months & only "Operation 4" & "Operation 5" to be called at 6 months interval, etc., use Hierarchy option for the packages in IP11.
Not sure, you are talking about this or something else. Please elaborate more if query is talking about something else.

What's a good strategy plan to import CDs into itunes library

I have lots of CDs I'd like to import into my itunes library. What's a good strategy plan? Creating categories, playlist, etc will help?

When you rip each CD, make sure that all the tag info is correct, including titles, artist, album, and genre. Then, once the tracks are in the library, you can use the built-in iTunes capabilities for sorting.
There is no need to set up individual playlists per album; rather, use playlists for special lists or compilations that you make. When you are ready, learn how to use the smart playlist functionality, as it adds a lot of control and fun to your listening.

RMAN strategy

Helo.
I´m programing my RMAN strategy for a recovery windows of 2 days, and I´ve my backup optimization off:
For this, i did a full backup as a base backup with the following command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
The following two days, i did differential backup:
BACKUP DIFFERENTIAL LEVEL 2 DATABASE;
This command should have saved that files that not have changes since the LEVEL 0 backup and who have not been saved before ¿ok?
Third day, i wrote:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT;
With this command, i´m saving that files who have chages since INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0, including the files saved in DIFFERENTIAL LEVEL 2 backup.
But then, i did a REPORT OBSOLETE and the incremental level 2 don´t be marked as obsolete ¿why? Incremental level 1 cumulative have all informatión for a recovery windows of 2 days. Is not is so?
somebody can help me?

orawarebyte wrote:
Incremental level backup dont obsolete independently,If its level 0 backup is obsoleted then its own alls subsequent level 1 or 2 backup is obsoleted.
Please see this thread Re: About RMAN backup !!!!.
KhurramIncremental level 0 never will be marked as obsolete because i used KEEP FOREVER NOLOGS command;
oradba wrote:
No, you still need the level 0 backup from last Sunday + all incremental backups up to Thursday. And as stated incremental backups never can become obsolete alone, but always in combination with the previous full backup.
WernerBut there is something that still do not understand.
In Oracle9i Recovery Manager User´s guide. Chapter 5.->Backup Retentios policies explained clearly the following:
Cumulative Incremental Backups+
Oracle provides an option to make cumulative incremental backups at level 1 or
greater. In a cumulative level n backup, RMAN backs up all the blocks used since
the most recent backup at level n-1 or lower. For example, in a cumulative level 2
backup, RMAN determines which level 1 backup occurred most recently and copies
all blocks changed since that backup. If no level 1 backup is available, RMAN copies
all blocks changed since the base level 0 backup.
That includes the block saved in DIFFERENTIAL LEVEL 2 backups. Then here is a redundancy of backups because the data saved in LEVEL 2 also are stored in level 1 (cumulative).
Why we need then keep LEVEL 2 backups?
It´s not enough whit full LEVEL 0 + CUMULATIVE LEVEL 1?

Strategy plans problem

Hello every one,
I want to know that when we make a strategy plan we can apply the conditions such as this package will be install or call object will be generated when certain limit is reached (like number of hours when exceeds 100 hours or temperature raised to 50 degrees etc)
My question is that I want to make such a strategy that when there will be upper and lower limit like there is a device whose temperature if raised to 30 degrees or falls below 20 degrees then a call object is generated. How is that possible?
Problem is that when I give the cycle length 20 degrees for first maintenance package and set the hierarchy level H1 for it and I give the cycle length 30 degrees for second maintenance package and set the hierarchy level H2 for it. That means when ever temperature is reached 20 degrees call object will be generated for all values greater then 20 degrees but I want to generate it for values less then 20 degrees.
I want that call object will not be called between 20 to 30 degrees and always be called less then 20 and greater then 30 degrees. How I can apply the condition for less then 20?
i want the answer very soon please help me out.

Dear,
Ur opinion about statergy is wrong.what ur talking about it is about condition based maintenance.which trigger the notification according to the ur lower and upper limits by sensing through temp. transducers and der is interface in between SAP and ur process instrument which fire the signal to the SAP and notifiaction created.
Transferring Measurement and Counter Readings
Purpose
The PM-PCS interface transfers filtered data from a process control system (PCS) to the R/3 System. Measurement documents are created automatically in the R/3 System for the measurement and counter readings.
You should implement this interface if you want to use measurement documents in the R/3 System as the basis for performing maintenance activities or for documenting information.
Process Flow
Process control systems provide a wealth of data that arises within a particular process, building, or infrastructure. SCADA systems perform a filter function in these circumstances. They filter out the maintenance-relevant data and, in this way, prevent the R/3 System from being flooded with process data.

Reschedule strategy plan based on last actual order completion date

Dear all,
Hope you can help me with this one.
We use strategybased maintenance plans. We want to achieve that the next scheduled call date is calculated taking into account the actual completion date of the last (previous) call.
For example :
strategy = 1 maintenance order every 52 weeks.
start of cycle = 01.01.2009
First call created a mainenance order for 01.01.2010
This order did however only get actually completed on 20.02.2010 (so actual completion date of last call = 20.02.2010 ).
Now we want that the next call is rescheduled to 20.02.2011 ( so the last actual date + the 52 weeks from the strategy)
This we can achieve for one maintenance plan at a time by using transaction IP10 and than the funtion "start in cycle' .
However we want to achieve this for a mass selection of maintenance plans in one go.We cannot find a suitable transaction that does do this.
For example IP30 simply keeps rescheduling using the "startdate of the cycle" instead of the "last actual date".
Does anyone have a suggestion how we can solve this?
Many thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,
Arjan

Hi,
Please follow as suggsted by BroermanG . In Addition to that please ensure that the positive & Negative Tolarance is maintained as zero value in the Scheduling Paramters of the Plan.
Then the system will take care of your requirements. You need not use IP10 and reschedule to get the desired schedule.
You can run the IP30 normally.

IP10 parameters in strategy plan

Hello,
We're trying to implement the strategy maintenance plans in our company. Taking a look to the help.sap.com we've ascertained the use of the parameters in maintenance plans and the use of strategy.
We've followed the steps:
1-Creating the strategy: three cycles (1-every two months, 2-every 6 months, 3-every 12 months).
2-Implement the strategy in the task list at every operation.
3-IP01: Creating the strategy maintenance plan with the task list and associated parameters.
4-IP10: we have scheduled the maintenance plan.
Our problem: the strategy works, but none of the parameters in the tab 'scheduling parameters' work in the way that SAP explains in help.sap.com (horizon, shift factor, tolerance...). We're using time-key date as scheduling indicator. The unit in scheduling is 'month'.
Do you know the reason? Is there any incompatibility between scheduling parameters and strategies?
Thank you,
Óscar

Hi
See... i am giving examples for you
This is done with 7 mon scheduling and 100% horizon...
Sno           Plan Date                 Call Date                                   Stratergy   Status
1     11.04.2009     11.04.2009          1M     New start Hold
2     11.05.2009     11.05.2009          1M     Scheduled Hold
3     10.06.2009     10.06.2009          1M 3M     Scheduled Hold
4     10.07.2009     10.07.2009          1M     Scheduled Hold
5     09.08.2009     09.08.2009          1M     Scheduled Hold
6     08.09.2009     08.09.2009          1M 3M     Scheduled Hold
7     08.10.2009     08.10.2009          1M     Scheduled Hold
since the horizon was 100% it has taken the call date as plan date...
If u give as 90 %
1     11.04.2009     08.04.2009
2     11.05.2009     08.05.2009
3     10.06.2009     07.06.2009
4     10.07.2009     07.07.2009
5     09.08.2009     06.08.2009
6     08.09.2009     05.09.2009
7     08.10.2009     05.10.2009
Since 90% for one month will take 3 days... so.. the cal date is on 8.04.2009
Then... When you are talking about shift factor... it will depend on the date you complete the order... it will calculate according to the date of release and completion of order...
Plan is created with respect to horizon only...
if you have more query.. reply me..
