Maintenance plan need to be in sync

Hi Gurus,
I need your advise to map a client requirement in sap. My client is a electrical transmission company. The present system considers different Area office as a plant. One area office has one or few substation under it. Substation acts both as Work center and Floc. Now being a transmission company client has many important transmission lines for which preventive maintenance is required. Each transmission line is very long and has pass thru different area office beside source area office and destination area office. So client wants that all maintenance substation need to have a uniform shutdown date for this line maintenance so that outage becomes minimum and availability index rises. Please suggest best possible way to map it in sap.
Thanks,
Avi

Hi,
You create the Functional Location specific to your plants (office area)., but in this case you will have to make different FLs related to plants and then you need to create TL for the same. But, in order to get preventive maintenance done on the same time you need to plan every plant (from which line is passing) specific FL with the same data.
once you have scheduled that for all plants (through which line is passing), you we get all the calls in same frequency. you can also go for IW38 for mass release/TECO of these orders.
this process is cumbersomesome though, but will best fit if you've adopted decentralised structure and also will be helpful in capturing the costs as per work centres. moreover you will also be able to capture specific part of the line which is vulnerable among all.
Thanks

IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan

Hi Experts,
IF Auto Update Statistics ENABLED in Database Design, Why we need to Update Statistics as a maintenance plan for Daily/weekly??
Vinai Kumar Gandla

Hi Vikki,
Many systems rely solely on SQL Server to update statistics automatically(AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled), however, based on my research, large tables, tables with uneven data distributions, tables with ever-increasing keys and tables that have significant
changes in distribution often require manual statistics updates as the following explanation.
1.If a table is very big, then waiting for 20% of rows to change before SQL Server automatically updates the statistics could mean that millions of rows are modified, added or removed before it happens. Depending on the workload patterns and the data,
this could mean the optimizer is choosing a substandard execution plans long before SQL Server reaches the threshold where it invalidates statistics for a table and starts to update them automatically. In such cases, you might consider updating statistics
manually for those tables on a defined schedule (while leaving AUTO UPDATE STATISTICS enabled so that SQL Server continues to maintain statistics for other tables).
2.In cases where you know data distribution in a column is "skewed", it may be necessary to update statistics manually with a full sample, or create a set of filtered statistics in order to generate query plans of good quality. Remember,
however, that sampling with FULLSCAN can be costly for larger tables, and must be done so as not to affect production performance.
3.It is quite common to see an ascending key, such as an IDENTITY or date/time data types, used as the leading column in an index. In such cases, the statistic for the key rarely matches the actual data, unless we update the Statistic manually after
every insert.
So in the case above, we could perform manual statistics updates by
creating a maintenance plan that will run the UPDATE STATISTICS command, and update statistics on a regular schedule. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

"Value cannot be null" error when trying to edit or create Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2008

I have SQL Server 2008 installed on Windows Server 2008 64bit, every time I try to open or create a new Maintenance Plan I receive the error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: component (System.Design)
Program Location:
   at System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerHost.System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesignerHost.GetDesigner(IComponent component)
   at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsDesignerService.OpenDesigner(String connectionString, Object connection, String objectUrn)
   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DatabaseMaintenance.MaintDesignerMenuHandler.Invoke()
And in the Design view screen
"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to load this document: Could not load type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.runtime.Wrapper.IDTSPackageSigning100' from assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRunTimeWrap, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral'.
I have searched for a possible solution and have tried some suggestions of registering the msxml6.dll but and have installed VS2008 SP1 but I'm not in a position where I can do a full reinstall of SQL Server right now. Any help is appreciated. My SQL server
environment information is below.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools
2007.0100.1600.022 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18943
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4206
Operating System 6.0.6002

I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
My missing file name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
But the file name changes on every startup.
So my missing directory name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?

Work Order - Maintenance Planning plant change

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to change the maintenance planning plant in a created work order? We are having an issue on work orders and we need to tranfer our open work orders to another plants to solved the issue. Please me let me know if this is possible to do in SAP. And let me know how to do it in SAP.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
The start of the plan is not option as this will surely have an impact. Anyway, work around for this issue was provided and this is OK now. We will continue with the old orders untill such time they will finally be closed. No postings will be created against this old orders and if there's a need to do GR new orders will be created in new plants for the postings.
Thanks for you help,

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,
Pl.try following path in SPRO,
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service..Maintenance Plans, Work Centers, Task Lists and PRTs..

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.

BAPI for Maintenance Plan Scheduling with EHP5

Hello.
In documentation for LOG_EAM_CI_4 mentioned that: [API functions have been developed for the scheduling of maintenance plans. These APIs provide the same functions as transaction IP10: the creation of maintenance calls or the changing of existing maintenance calls|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/33/46AC67364447A3BA2F4EFA65B8C014/frameset.htm].
We have activated EHP5 and all LOG_EAM_CI* business functions in our system, but still can't find this "magic" BAPI.
Does anybody know its name?

Maheswaran.K thanks for your reply, but as i wrote above we have activated all LOG_EAM_CI* including LOG_EAM_CI_3.

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.

How to look for New start Called call for a Maintenance plan

Hi,
I need to find out all calls for a maintenance plan of scheduling type- 'New Start' and Status- 'Called'. How to find this using tables.
For 'New Start' scheduling type probably table field and value is MHIS-TERMA = 'N'. There are different statuse in this table but I am not able to identify the status 'called'. Also what is the field MHIS-ZAEHL(Maintenance package number) for?
Thanks,
Vimal

Taken from the standard IP10 program:
* possible status combinations
* TSABR - Scheduling status: planned date called
* TSVBT - Scheduling status: call outstanding
* TSENQ - Scheduling status: call horizon not reached
* TSENM - Scheduling status: stopped manually
* TSTAT - Sceduling status
* TSABR   TSVBT   TSENQ   TSENM   TSTAT
*   X       -       -       -       A     called with order
*   X       -       -       -       -     called without order
*   -       X       X       -       -     on hold (TSENQ), due (TSVBT)
*   -       X       X       -       F     on hold, due and fixed
*   X       -       -       -       X     skipped
*   -       X       X       X       -     blocked
*   -       X       X       X       F     blocked

Any FM to calculate planned costs for a Maintenance plan

Hi all,
Is there any FM to calculate planned costs for an Maintenance plan.
I can use report RISTRA30(IP31). but i need to use for multiple multiple Mplans and different time frames. using SUBMIT to this report and getting data will lead to performance in my actual report.
Please do provide any FM's or any other pointers for the same.
warm regards,
Sumanth

Dear,
In maintenance plan you can speciefy - order type,task list type,task list group & counter.
when system automatically create service/maintenance order then system will determine plan cost, but for this you have to maintain planned price by t-code KP26.
And then you can see report by IP31

SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 not showing Maintenance Plan

I do not have the Maintenance Plan listed under the Object Explorer. I am running SQL Server 2008 R2 (that is listed in Control Panel/Programs). When I tried to run the install to check that the management tool is configured I received the
"instance id" error (SQLManagementStudio_X64_ENU.EXE). After doing some reading online I found where some people used the SQLEXPADV_X64_ENU.exe install. This allowed me to see that the Management Tools were installed. I am not an
SQL expert and need to schedule a nightly backup of the database.
