Display access to be made on the Maintenance Plan.

Hi Experts
On the Preventive Maintenance Plan Creation in IP41/ IP42 / IP43 when I enter the Equipment Number all the master data gets copied in the Plan.
But I am able to change the Planning Plant and also the Planner Group. I would like to have these two fields on the Display mode only. When Equipment number is entered all gets copied automatically and I should not have access to change it in creation of plans.
Similarly I would also like to make the Tack List mandatory on the maintenance plan.
I checked in the SPRO but not able to find the node. Should I go for an enhancement ?
Regards
Venkat

Venkat,
Just a practical issue here.
What if you create the MP using the equipment data (say PG1), then at some point in the future you change the PG in the equipment to PG2.
How would you now update the MP with the new PG since the fields would be display-only???

Tcode for checking the Maintenance Plan

Hello,
I want the transaction code for checking the list of maintenance plan for a particular plant. I went thru tcode IP03, IP16 but could not find the option of plant there..
Kindly guide..
Regards,
Naren

Naren,
As stated above, there isn't a plant field in the maintenance plan (only maintenance item, hence the reference ot IP17)
However, it is quite common to use the maintenance plan Sort field as a plant field by customising the table settings for each plant.

Display access to UCWB

We are trying to create an authorization role that allows display access only to UCWB. The role we currently have is a "change" role. Our QA and production systems are closed, so by defualt a user can only display in these environments. However, we have business users who help develop test scripts and require display access to UCWB in our development environment. Because the development system is open, the current change role allows the users to change config. Has anyone created a pure display role for UCWB?

Hi Deborah,
You can ask your BW or BASIS consultants to crate a Display role for UCWB, this is a simple job.
Technically you can first crete a role with UCWB display acces and then assingn to the respective users.
While giving diaplay access, you can even restrict only the Master data and others if required. Again better to give restricted display access to UCWB, as it involed many things which users are not aware.
Hope this resolves your problem.
All the best,
Sunil M

Certain Maintenance Plan not getting scheduled in the background job

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue here.
A weekly background job (RISTRA20) runs every weekend and schedules the maintenance plans.
But we have noticed that some maintenance plans are not getting scheduled. i.e no orders or schedule is getting generated.
When I run IP30 manually for these plans then the schedule gets generated and orders get called.
I have checked up the background job and it is running fine.
Also, i have noticed a similarity in all these plans which are not getting scheduled. There schedule has been restarted (through IP10) at somepoint or the other.
But i don't see any direct impact of this?
Can any of you provide some help on this?? Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Saini

Hi Narender,
Thanks for replying.
The message number for 'Groups don't match' is ME303.
I think this does not have anything to do with the restart as i have done further investigation.
Whenever I run IP30 with sortfield input as AS02*, i get the error as mentioned above for a certain number of maintenance plans while the remaining plans get scheduled.
If i run IP30 for any other sort fields, it runs fine and i don't encounter the error
mentioned above.
If you send me ur email address, i could forward you screen-shots of the issue.

How to set start of cycle/next planned date at the Maintenance Item level??

Hi All,
We are uploading a bulk of Strategy Maintenance Plans into the system. Each plan has multiple maintenance items and each maintenance item in a plan having different next due dates. Now if we set the Start of cycle at the Maintenance Plan level, then the next due dates of the maintenance items in that plan would be calculated on the basis on Start of Cycle (Common for all) and frequency as set in MPackages in an item Task list. Since each Maintenance item may have different Frequency and next due date, generating a call object while scheduling the plan correctly to satisfy at the Maintenance item level is not seeming possible.
Can someone please suggest as to how do I set the Start of cycle or say Next Planned Date or Last Scheduled date at the Maintenance Item level either through configuration or programmatically.We are working on an SAP 4.6C version.It is urgent!!!

hi
i think specifying start of the cycle for each maintenance level is not possible ,since start of the cycle refers to maintenance plan only .
for SAP standard kindly refer the following [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/94/43a968abc011d395bd00a0c93029cf/content.htm]
it is better to create one maintenance item per maintenance plan,if you want to control each maintenance item independently

Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard to create a maintenance plan:
"This topic describes how to create a single server or multiserver maintenance plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard in SQL Server 2012. The Maintenance Plan Wizard creates a maintenance plan that Microsoft SQL Server Agent can run on a regular
basis. This allows you to perform various database administration tasks, including backups, database integrity checks, or database statistics updates, at specified intervals."

Maintenance Plan - Tasks are not executing in the order they were created

I've created a new maintenance plan to perform differential backups but the tasks I created don't necessarily seem to execute in order all the time. These are the tasks and order assigned when I created the plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard:
Back Up Database (Differential)
Clean Up History
Maintenance Clean Up Task
Here's the deal...When it executes in the order they were created (above), all my old backups are deleted successfully. However, there have been instances where, for example, the Maintenance Clean Up task executes before the
Clean up History task. When this happens, only one of my backup files is deleted successfully but not the second (I have two .bak files needing to be removed). Furthermore, I noticed that the backup that wasn't deleted when it should
have gets deleted at the next increment when new backups are created.
Again, this does not happen when the tasks run in the sequence shown above. Only one old backup gets deleted (instead of two) when one of the above item is out of sequence. Strange behavior to say the least.
Any feedback on this will be appreciated!

If you do not set up precedence constraints it runs all tasks at the same time.

Create change lsmw to include the maintenance items.

Hi,
can some1 plz tell me how to create the lsmw in the change mode to include maintenace items in the maintenance plans.
The client wants that I should add the maintenance items while creating the maintenance plans i.e. the maintenance items should
not be created before.Please tell me the steps.

hi
You can create using the standard object for maintenance plan itself. you need to define 2 sources fields ,like maintenance plan and maintenance item and assign the corresponding fields to the same .also you need to create 2 files and specify the same . then try it

I have a need to enable this program which was delivered in one of the enhancement packs. We have thousands of maintenance plans that need to be modified.
A couple of questions:
1) how do I activate as little as possible to allow me to use this program
2) With this enhancement activated, am I going to be putting myself on a new support pack line.

hi,
I just know go to transaction SFW5 to check whether all components required for the operation of system are activated (switched on). But I do not know exactly which component is affected for this function.
Hope it helps.

Maintenance Item assignment to a Maintenance Plan

Dear Expert,
we need some help about the following scenario.
Currently we are working on preventive maintenance in SAP ECC 6.0 system. We have created several maintenance items without assignment to maintenance plans in order to use them like models: to make quickly the creation of a maintenance plan our users can choose the suitable maintenance item from a range.
In these items we have inserted only strategy and maintenance task list but we have not insert the technical object.
We carry out the following steps:
1. we run transaction IP42;
2. we insert the maintenance category and the strategy;
3. in the tab "Item" we press the button "Assign more items";
4. system runs report RIMPOS00 (Display Maintenance Item: Selection Criteria) in order to select the item to insert in the maintenance plan. In this screen the followin fields are locked (we can not change them):
- "Maint. plan cat.";
- "Maintenance strategy";
- "MaintPlan assignment" and the radio botton is set on "without".
In this way if a maintenance item has been already assigned to a maintenance plan users can not select it for the current plan.
In your opinion could we open the radio buttons for the field "MaintPlan assignment" ? Could anyone help us ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards.

Hi,

Plant Maintenance and Customer Service..Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs..
Maintenance Plans..Set List Editing for Maintenance Items
After clicking on Execute button u will get a pop up " Customising list editing "Double click on selection do the changes & save.
It will work i think.

Error when running Maintenance plan

Hi,
I get this error when I double click on our Maintenance Plan in Management Studio. Any Ideas?

Hi duncanwarrender,
According to your description, you get errors when double-clicking on the Maintenance Plan. Based on my research, this issue could be due to that DTS Package is corrupt or missing. You could follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue.
1.Uninstall Management tools. In Control Panel, click Uninstall a program, click Microsoft SQL Server (for example, Microsoft SQL Server 2012(64-bit)) and click Remove. Select a instance and then select the feature 'Management tools' to uninstall.
2.Reinstall the following features from SQL Server setup, make sure that the installation of these tools complete successfully.
a. SQL Server data tools
b. Client tools SDK
c. Client tools backwards compatibility
d. Management tools-complete

Link between Maintenance plan and measuring document

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to find out if a measuring document exists for a maintenance plan? IMRG has the measuring document information, but I could not find any link to the maintenance plan. Similarly, in table MPLA/MPOS, I could not find anything. Please help.

Greetings Srinivas,
Look in table MMPT, field MMPT-POINT. This will provide you with a link to the table IMRG on IMRG-POINT. If entries exist in IMRG, they correspond to Measurement Documents for that Point.
When displaying the Maintenance Plan in IP03 for example, you can view the Measurement Documents easily using the "Counter Information" icon.

SQL 2012 SP2 - Cannot open Maintenance Plans in SQL Management Studio

Hello...
We have a number of SQL 2012 SP2 instances running on Server 2012 R2 where we cannot open any Maintenance Plans via the SQL Management Studio.
At times we've received an error message screen when attempting to open the Plan, but most of the time just nothing happens when you try to open the Plan.
I cannot get any of them to display the error now to even provide more information there.
This happens even after a reboot and/or restarting SQL server.
Everything else seems to be working and we can examine the individual pieces under the SQL Server Agent -> Jobs, but we cannot open the Maintenance Plan itself.
We can even create new Plans via the "Maintenance Plan Wizard" but not from "New Maintenance Plan" and once a Plan exists, we can't open it.
As a test, I tried connecting from a SQL 2008 R2 server and am able to open the plans, so it appears to be a SQL 2012 Management Studio issue rather than the Plans.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you...

Hello,
Once you modify and save a maintenance plan with a greater version of SSMS (let’s say SSMS 2014) you cannot modify it again
with an earlier version of SSMS again ( SSMS 2012 or earlier). That may be a possibility.
If you did not modify the maintenance plan with SSMS 2014, then try to repair SQL Server 2012, apply the latest service
pack (SP2), or try to uninstall only SSMS and reinstall it again.
If you have Visual Studio installed, please apply the latest update.
Hope this helps.
