EAM: Maintenance Routing; Activities related questions

NOTE: I could not find an EAM specific forum and hence I am posting here. If this is not the right forum, kindly direct me to the right one and I will post my question there.
eBS version: 11.5.10.2
BACKGROUND INFO:
My customer has asset groups and assets defined. Asset groups: approx 240 in number. Each asset group has 25 assets on an average. Example: Asset Group: PAJERO; 25 registration numbers for 25 vehicles as assets under the PAJERO group.
Customer has so far never used Maintenance Routing to forecast and create work orders. Customer has always created manual work order.
Now, the customer is looking to use Preventive Maintenance, Activity Scheduling and Maintenance Routing to forecast scheduled work and create work orders from the Maintenance Workbench.
IMPORTANT BIT:
The assets move from one owning department to another quite often. Hence, on the maintenance routing -> operation: department/op code needs to change whenever the asset moves from one owning department to another.
PROBLEM:
From looking at the Activities Setup, it seems like, the way to achieve this is:
1. Define activities for each asset; create association between activity and asset; define schedule definition for activity - asset combination; create maintenance routing for the activity.
2. Whenever the owning department for the asset changes, end date the operations on the routing; create a new operation, with the new effective department/op code.
Please correct me if this is not the right approach.
However, since:
1. The number of assets is massive AND
2. The activities for a given asset group are always the same
the customer is wondering if there is a way to create activities per asset group (as opposed to per asset) and create maintenance routing without department defined on the operations. Then, when the forecast is generated from the maintenance workbench and work order is created, somehow dynamically pick up the department information (and thereby the resource and BOM information as appropriate for the operation).
Has anyone faced and resolved a similar issue?
I would be grateful for any pointers, insights, suggestions on how to solve the problem.
Thanks
Kiran

Andy,
Thank you very much for your responses here. They are very educational.
I have following questions,
The Production Org is Standard Costed. What is the recommended costing method for eAM. If I use Average costing for EAM then do I have to create another org?
If create another org then how ASCP will take into account projected shutdowns because of future PMs?
If the Production Org is also WMS enabled then the Expense Account is greyed out in the costing tab of org parameters. If expense account is not created then Asset Groups can not be created from EAM. They however can be created from Item Master window?
If Prod Org and EAM org are same then how we will capturs the material cost separately for both org?
Thanks & Regards,
Vivek

  • Router and related question

    Try to do the web hosting. The Web Server will host about 10 web applications for the public access (from several hundreds to a couple of thousands people to concurrently access). This server will be located in a Server-Hosting-Company which will use T1/T3 line to connect with the Internet. My web server will be placed in the hosting company's server room (This means that the hosting company will take care of the internet connection, while my server in turn will connect to the company's LAN system). . Now my questions are:
    1) I would like to have a router to act as a firewall, switch, VPN, and to support the DMZ. There is only the data pass though (no sound and vedio is required)
    Of course, the faster, the better. But I would also take the budget into the consideration, so the router should resasonably get the job down, but not be over spended on. Which Cisco routers fits better: 1801 or 2801, or else?
    2) This router will not connect to a DSL or T1 or T3, instead, it will directly plug into the server room's LAN system, can I hook it up using the router's Ethernet port?
    3) To place a web cache machine in the DMZ, can I connect the Web Cache machine to the router's Ethernet port? Or, is there a port SPECIALLY for the DMZ to make the connection?
    Many thanks.
    Scott

    1800s are fixed configs with only wic slots, and you dont need wic slots in your app.
    Get a 2811 for a min, it will have two fastE interfaces or you can get a 2821 or 2851 which have 2 GigE ports onboard. You can use IOS firewal feature on the router and also can do VPN. You need to get the Advanced security or higher feature set and an AIM card if you plan to terminate a lot of VPN connections.
    To support a DMZ switch on the router itself you can buy a module such as NM-16ESW - 16 port switch and put your servers there. You can use ACLS and CBAC to permit specific traffic going to these web servers.
    IOS firewall wont be truly the same as using a dedicated firewall such as PIX or ASA. So I would recommend using a PIX firewall for this purpose.

  • PM/EAM related questions posted in PLM forum

    Hi,
    I was going through some of the threads available in PLM forum, but to my surprise, most of the threads posted are related to PM, which should have been posted in EAM forum. It was clearly mentioned by the moderator in one of the sticky thread [PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum|PLM-Forumsplit -  Please ensure you are using the right forum;
    Questions regarding Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS) are discussed in the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) forum
    forums - posts will be moved to the right forum.
    Please ensure your are opening a new thread in the right forum
    Despite the clear instructions given my the moderator, PM related questions are still posted to PLM forum and some of the active participant of EAM forum answers these questions in PLM forum. It would be nice if those threads are moved to appropriate forum, so that the relevant informations are available under one forum, also, PLM forum should be monitored regularly and inappropriate threads are to be moved to their respective forum.

    I had used abuse reports for some, but numbers of such posts are many.

    I hate to say this, but I often see the same thing, and I've never been able to figure out exactly what triggers selectability vs. non-selectability, but I suspect some of it has to do with tranparency flattening in particular, and possibly text wrap in cases where that comes into play. ID optimizes the PDF it creates, I think, and that might cause text, or even images, to be broken into chunks in funny ways. It occurs to me that turning off optimzing for fast web view might help in this regard.

  • What types of logs should be kept on activities relating to DBA?

    What types of logs should be kept on activities relating to database administrator? How does the operating system assist in maintaining log? What alternatives are available to the IS-Auditor if the operating system does not maintain log?

    As has been pointed out in your duplicate thread, these are rather vague and generic questions, so there are no clearly right answers...
    What types of logs should be kept on activities
    relating to database administrator? That's a business decision, not a technical decision... It depends on government regulations, the type of data in the system, the types of threats that the organization is most concerned with, the performance overhead that is acceptable, etc.
    How does the
    operating system assist in maintaining log? This is very vague. I don't know how to answer it-- from a database standpoint, the operating system is just holding a file that the DBA (hopefully) cannot update.
    What
    alternatives are available to the IS-Auditor if the
    operating system does not maintain log?Perhaps you're thinking about Audit Vault here?
    I need this answer please..! anyone can help meIs this for a school assignment? Or for something in the real world? In the real world, I would expect a lot more information before making any sort of decision on something like this...

    I just got a call today that I reached my 300GB limit for the month.  I called and got a pretty rude response from the security and data usage department.  The guy told me in so many words that if I do not like or agree with the policy that I should feel free to find another service provider.!!! I tried to explain that we watch Netflix and XFinity on-demand alot and I was told that that can not be anywhere close to the data usage. I checked my router and watching a "super HD, dolby 5.1" TV show on Netflix will average about 5-6 GB per hour (1.6MB/s) ... sp this means that I can only watch no more than 1-2 Super HD TV shows a day via Netflix before I run out of my data usage.    This seems a bit redicilous doesn't it? Maybe the TV ads about the higher speed than the competition should be accompanied with "as long as you don't use it too often"   Not a good experience ...

    Hi,
    You could temporarly adjust the CUNI definition for TST so that it can be converted to seconds. Adjust the notifications to set a valid unit of measure.
    The alternative would be to update the field MAUEH in table QMIH with a valid breakdown unit of measure.

  • I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.​Please help me for that.

    I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
    1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
    ible?
    (2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
    (3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
    (4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

    Hi Vishal,
    I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
    1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
    2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
    3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
    4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
    Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

  • Two related questions:  ColdFusion 10/Java applications and J2EE supported servers

    I have two related questions:
    1.  CF10 and integration with Java Web applications
    We have a couple of Java applications running on JRun and interfacing with CF9 applications.  The JRun clusters were created through the JRun Admin and, apart from lack of Axis 2.0 support, have served us well for years now.  And, as would be the case, the ColdFusion9/Java/Flash application is a critical public-facing application that the business uses for bidding on projects.
    It appears that with ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat, we will not be able to run those Java applications on a Tomcat-CF10 JVM cluster.  Is this correct?  IF so, what are our options? 
    2.  J2EE Application Servers supported by Adobe for CF10
    Which of these is correct?
    A.  This URL (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise/faq.html) states "ColdFusion 10 supports IBM® WebSphere, Oracle® WebLogic, Adobe JRun, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss."
    B.  This URL (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf) states:
    "J2EE application servers: WebLogic Server 10.3, 11.1, WebSphere Application Server 7, ND 7 JBoss 5.1, 6.0, 7.1.0"
    I *think* "A" above is wrong re. support for Adobe JRun.  It does not specify a version of Apache Tomcat unless it is simply referring to the custom version the comes with CF10.
    Option "B" above shows no support of Adobe JRun or 'standard' Apache Tomcat.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Question 1 above was answered:  "No support for Java web applications under CF10's custom version of Tomcat"
    Question 2:  No answer yet:  Is Apache Tomcat (NOT Adobe's customized version) supported for CF10 J2EE deployment?  I do not see any installation instructions on how to install CF10 on Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
    Is anybody using Apache Tomcat as their J2EE app servers and, again, NOT Adobe's customized/limited version? 
    Thanks,
    Scott

    My family owns an Apple Airport router, and my question is that is there a were to remotely access the router and turn it off and on? Thanks

    Richard's suggestion will turn off and turn on the wireless function on your Mac computer......but.....it will not do anything as far as turning your Apple AirPort router on and off.......which seems to be the question that you are asking above.
    If this is the question that you are asking, it is not possible to power the Apple router on and off from either a local or remote location.
