4 Annual/Seasonal Maintenance Cycles Issue - Strategy based

Hello Experts,
We have specific set of equipments which require 4 Annual/Seasonal maint. cycles to be performed in four seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter for every year.
Ex; Winter checks performed in December 2010 would require next call object by Dec'2011 and so on for other seasons as well.
I'm trying to create a strategy for above said, however Dec'10-Dec'11, Mar'10-Mar'11, Jun'10-Jun'11, Sep'10-Sep-11 cycles are not falling in repetitive cycles.
We do not want to have 4 single cycle plans for same equipment, as it calls for too many master data maintenance and reporting complexities.

  • Strategy in task list and Strategy based Maintenance Plan

    Dear Gurus,
    I have some doubt about
    is it same if we create a single cycle plan with a task list in which maintenance strategy let say A is being used and a maintenance plan strategy based let say A and task list without any strategy
    can some one explain use of strategy in task list and maintenance plan
    Regards
    Armaan

    Hi,
         In Strategy Based Plans :- When ur entering strategy in initial screen of IP42 then inside the plan system will allow u to select tasklists created with that strategy only ...
    In Single Cycle Plans :-  Here even though if u select tasklist of a particular strategy , system copies all the operations of the tasklist to the order...
    From your above example :- Single Cycle Plan if cycle is monthly is equal to strategy based plan having only 1Month package .
    further package in strategy allows u to select which operations of tasklist u want for 1Month..

  • Strategy based inspection for bridges

    Hi Guys,
    I have a scenario to map for Bridges inspection on my current project
    The scenario is...
    We have a bridge 'A' that undergoes two levels of inspection Level 1 and Level 2. The frequency for 'L1' is Annual and for L2 every 5 years. L1 is a visual inspection and L2 is a detailed inspection. Whenever we have L2 inspections there should be no L1 inspection scheduled.
    I have mapped the scenarios as follows
    1) Created and equipment for the Bridge
    2) Created a equipment tasklist - with two group counters - counter '1' for Level 1 counter '2' for Level 2.
    However i can't understand how to avoid Level 1 inpsections when there is a  'L2' inspection. This sounds to me like a strategy based inspection but not quite sure how to map it?
    Thanks,
    Sravan

    Greetings Sravan,
    I agree with Maheswaran KD .,it looks like the use of Offsets is the best for you. As you want to schedule the plans at different dates, that are not offset by exactly 1 year from one another, you need to create 2 Plans.
    A word of caution is that the Plans can't "talk" to one another (unless you created some enhancement), but you can align the maintenance date with your requirement through a resourceful use of offsets:
    Create 5 Packages, each with 60 Months cycle and an Offset multiple of 12.
    Assign the Packages 1,2,3,4 in your Visual Inspection plan & Package 5 in your Detailed Inspection plan.
    Yoiu may specify different start dates, which should be your last inspection date for each level.
    Be aware that if you should need to reschedule the Maintenance Plans, you have to do this for both of them independently.

  • Maintenance orders againt strategy plans

    Dear PM Guru's,
    i am created strategy based plans and i given 85% call horizon, in strategy i mentioned 7days, one month, 3months and halfyearly. i started cycle on 06.08.2011, i get weekly order one day before but where as 1month i get order on same planned date? actually it should come before 5days. why system generates order on same planned date?
    please help me how i have to overcome this issue.
    regards
    jalu

    User exit IPRM0002 allows to change the planned date. Keep the call horizon 100% and advance the planned date by 0.15*package cycle duration through aforementioned user exit.
    New planned date = Original Planned Date - 0.15 * (Package cycle duration i-e 7 ,30 , 90,180 days)

    Hi Team
    I am not able to close the maintenance cycle of charm.

    Hi Rishav,
    We had resolve the issue as now we are able to close the cycle successfully,

  • Inconsistency with maintenance cycle and task list phases in ChaRM

    Hi Experts,
    I'm deploying ChaRM with SolMan 4.0 SP09.
    I was testing a scenario where there are more than one maintenance project open for same landscape (different logical components but values are the same). I have been using maintenance cycle document (in crmd_order) to control phase changes both in task list and in maintenance cycle.
    I received an error message stating that the system has reset the status of the maintenance cycle and the end result was that task list phase is one step ahead of the maintenance cycle. This of course causes the situation where certain actions are no longer possible (maintenance cycle in Dev with release but task list already in test => release and import are not possible and reseting phase with task list is prevented by ChaRM).
    My question is how do I restore the inconsistency. I have looked for notes (but of course this is not a notes issue) and the internet for solution.
    I am very greatful for any hints you may give me!
    Kind regards,
    Auli

    Thank you!
    Exactly what I'm trying to do. I'll give it a go and get back to you asap.

  • No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

    Hello!
    I have problems to use CharM functionality due to following error:
    <b>No maintenance cycle is open for the current system</b>
    The error arises when I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error, menwhile I have an valid maintenance cycle active.
    I use CharM functionality for the solution consisting of an single system with two clients:
    SRM:000 (as DEV-system) (system role: source system)
    SRM:100 (as PRD-system) (system role: target system)
    - No maintenance cycle is open for the current system (meanwhile I have a valid maintenance cycle created and activated).
    Futhermore I get the additional warning:
    IBase component is not a productive system in system lanscape
    Can some help me with this issue?
    Thank you very much!
    regards
    Thom

    Hello Kriti,
    thank you very much for your response.
    Unfortunately I also thought about it.
    Basically my CharM procedure looks as follows.
    I send the message from productive client (I have only one system with client 000 and 100)  to Service Desk in SOLMAN.
    There I can see the IBase of the productive client.
    Then I create a urgent correction by assigning IBase to this IBase of productive client. It is also possible to change the IBase in change mode, so I have tried all the possible values of IBase and get the same error.
    My problem also is that I have multiple values of IBase assigmenets, it means one system has multiple assigments to IBase components.
    I do not know how to delete/cut these settings....
    Thank you for your further help!
    regards

  • Need to close maintenance cycles to apply EhP1?

    Hello,
    We are planning to install EhP1 for SolMan, we are currently running SP17.  I've looked through the install guide, but I am still not sure if we need to close all existing Maintenance Cycles and corrections before the upgrade, or if the existing cycles will not be affected.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michele

    We are using ChaRM in our SolMan production system to manage changes to our other SAP systems, so we have numerous maintenance cycles open and ZDCR corrections being created and worked on.
    When EhP1 for Solman is installed in production, will it mess up any of these maintenance cycles or ZDCR corrections?  Or will these continue to work?  We don't want to stop our support for our other SAP systems for this enhancement pack.
    Thanks,
    Michele
    P.S. - It's really hard to talk about SDCR/ZDCR corrections when their name is banned from the forums.

  • Solution Manager - Import buffer and duplicate imports in maintenance cycle

    Hello,
    I am trying to understand how Normal and Urgent Correction work in a maintenance cycles.
    I am using SOLMAN 4.0  and I would like to know how the import buffers are managed.
    When I have completed a maintenance cycle and all my transport request have been imported in the production system, I want to switch the status of the maintenance cycle back to development in order to complete my previous open normal corrections. I have read in many places that if I act in this way, not only my new corrections but all the old correction will be imported in the quality and production systems because the import buffers do not get empty.
    For example, If I decide to have 10 normal corrections but eventually only 9 corrections are imported in quality and production systems, when I switch back to development and I complete the 10th correction, this correction will be imported together with the other 9 corrections or this will be imported alone since the other nine correction have been imported before?
    How it works?
    I appreciate suggestions.
    Thanks
    Antonello

    Hi Gert-Jan,
    We do the same and we don't face this issue.  There is thus a solution.
    I never had this case, this might be a parameter in your QAS refresh procedure.
    1/ If you empty your production import buffer (meaning you import it all to production) before tacking the production copy you will never have this issue.
    2/ If you have some transportd left in the import buffer of production , you have this issue ? I guess this is our case
    I will try to reformulate the case.
    The refresh of QAS is causing the lost of some customizing that were not yet imported in production but was imported in QAS prior to the refresh of QAS.
    When you reimport the "overwritten" transports in QAS after the refresh, this transport is removed from the QAS import buffer and going too the import buffer of production. 
    A/The same transport is now twice in the import buffer of production ? we don't have this in our landscape (I even think this was not possible)
    B/Or in between this transport has been imported in production and thus you are right it falls in the import buffer of production again with another sequence.
    Thank you to confirm your case A or B ?.

  • Charm implementation: No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

    Gurus,
    I'm in implementation project to use charm.
    I've created SDCR using charm_create, and choose transaction type subject "Development (implementation)"
    After approving the change request, so that the status become "Approved", I re-open the request to set into "in development", but there's error:
    "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"
    I've checked notes and search the forum but not relevant to my subject.
    Please help.
    Regards,

    Hi Cesar,
    I'm facing this issue now. I have followed Dolores blog
    - The IBase is wrong: The IBase/component must represent the production system in the project landscape. RP1 is my production
    - Lack of authorizations: Assign role "SAP_SOCM_ADMIN" or "SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP" (or equivalent) to the user who would like to approve the change request. I have updated all roles and given the users SAP_ALL
    - Project is locked in table /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP: If an error is detected during the processing, then the project might be locked in this table. The customer can unlock it by pressing the refresh button under tab "System Landscape" -> "Change Requests". If there are other error messages shown during the refresh process, the customer must fix those errors beforehand. Refreshed it many times without errors
    I'm on the latest level of Solman 7.1 SP8, I have implemented all the new notes as well.
    I have attached a screenshot
    To me it seems like a bug, but haven't found anything on marketplace. Any help is much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Photosmart 8250 constant maintenance cycles while printing & excessive ink usage

    I'm having a problem with my trusty 4-year-old HP Photosmart 8250: Whenever I print a document, whether in color or black ink only mode, it constantly enters maintenance cycles and excessively uses ink.
    Two examples: When I printed a color document (color, HP Bright White Inkjet Paper, 17 pages), the printer behaved erratically, with constant maintenance cycles. It also said I had to change yellow ink, but when I re-turned on the printer to install a fresh yellow ink cartridge (I only use original HP ink), it still showed remaining yellow ink. Then yesterday, when I printed a 32 page graphics document (black ink only, plain paper, normal), the ink meter for black dropped from full to 25% full (I had changed the black cartridge only one week earlier), and the printer went through four maintenance cycles. Neither had happened before in my four years of owning this printer, and the black ink consumption for similar documents in the past was barely a quarter of what it was for this document. 
    Are these issues most likely related to the printhead? I know that the Photosmart 8250, like all printers with HP 02 cartridges, uses a fixed non-replaceable printhead, so does the printhead need cleaning or alignment? Or should I just get a new HP printer, as I have used this printer extremely frequently over the past 4 years?
    Thanks for all your help!

    Hi johnpd,
    There have been some significant upgrades to photo printing and the inks since the MP610 was introduced.  With the MG7120, and the XL ink tanks (which are comparably priced to the standard ink tanks used in the MP610), you should receive similar or greater page yields.  One major reason for this boost is the addition of the gray CLI-251 ink.  When gray appears in your printout, instead of using a mixture of all the other colors, the gray ink is used, reducing your overall ink consumption.
    At the risk of sounding like a typical salesman, "I want to get you in the model that is right for you"!  If you are looking for a photo printer, the MG7120 is one of my top suggestions for a quality Photo All-in-One.  If however, you do not plan to make heavy use of the printer and only occasionally print photos, you might get more value from an Office All-in-One.
    Please feel free to Contact Us if you have any additional questions.

  • Assigment maintenance cycle -- system (IBASE) in CharM

    Hello!
    I have the problem to establish CharM functionality.
    When I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error:
    No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
    My question are:
    - How do this assignment maintenance cycle <--> system (IBASE) work?
    - Is it perhaps possible to execute this assignment manually?
    - Is there some log files that can be analysed for this problem?
    Thanks & regards
    Thom

    Hi,
    About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6  u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
    This is the link:  http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
    So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
    Following is the steps.
    1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
    1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
    2: close current maintenance cycle.
    3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
    4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
    Thanks
    Regards,

  • Maintenance Cycle creation not possible

    Hello Developers,
    (Solman 4.0 ChaRM)
    I'm running into an issue concerning our maintenance project. I created a maintenance project, assigned systems and users to it, created an IMG, saved everything, but if I try to create a maintenance cycle via "/n/tmwflow/cmsconf", there is no project shown to choose. No project to choose = no maintenance cycle to assign.
    As the system administrator insisted to create the RFCs and users manually, there might be a cause in that area, but I'm not sure.
    Also if I run the consistency check in project configuration it says that the logical component "solution manager" is not used in my maintenance project, but if I run the same check in TA SMSY, it shows its usage.
    I'm stuck and asking kindly for advise.
    Any help appreciated.
    Yours,
    Rudolf Weis

    Hello,
    I assume you use solman 4. Let your system administrator perform ALL the steps in SAP Solman IMG --> SAP Solman --> Scenario-Specific Settings --> Change Request Management --> Standard Configuration --> Transport Management System; in the IMG otherwise it won't work.
    Check the logical component (which I assume to be correct since you created a IMG project in the target system).
    use the /TMWFLOW/Maintinst to check some settings as well
    good luck

  • Question on normal maintenance cycle in 4.0

    Hi
    We have a maintenance cycle for normal corrections. Due to missed authorizations, when our testers changed the status of the change request after successful testing, the status is changed to 'consolidated', but the transport requests were not released. When we manually released the transports from SCMA task list, system released all the open transport requests, whose tasks are released. This has caused the issue of these transports being added to the production buffer. So now we have the released transport requests for requests that are at the consolidated status and for requests whose status in less than the consolidated status, i,e. to be tested, in development. If the status of the MC is changed to 'Go-Live' and when the production import job is scheduled, is it going to move all the transports in the production buffer or only those transports that have the corresponding change request status is 'Consolidated'? Thanks in advance.

    I believe that in later Service Packs of SolMan 4.0 the "Export transport request" and "Return to development" actions described in note 910506 are not part of the standard workflows so some of these problems should not exist.  SolMan uses Transport of Copies functionality when the developer performs the Complete Development action.  These "copy" transports only get imported into the QA system and not into production.  When the tester performs "Confirm Successful Test", the transport is actually released.
    Now if for some reason the tester made a mistake when "Confirming", the correct action would likely be to do an Urgent correction to repair the problem or undo the change.
