Maintenance Plan task loging

Hi all. I am creating a maintenance plan which may have mixture of T-SQL task and build-in task like reorg, rebuild tasks...
I would like to log each task output to seperate files. Is it possible to do so ?

Only by having different schedules for each task. That would give you several jobs and you can define an output file for each job. This is not, however, the same as the report file, which is the same for the whole plan.
If maint plans doesn't do what you want, then consider more powerful alternatives. I, for instance, use Ola's procedures at ola.hallengren.com.

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.

PM Maintenance Planning - Task Hours Required

Hello All,
Our airport is using PM for their maintenance planning. We are currently building a new terminal and they are asking for a way to simulate/project the additional work hours that will be required for the additional equipment. We are only concerned with the maintenance hours required for tasks...not materials.
I've looked at IP19 but when I add the work hours/duration, the values are only populated for lines that have a work order created. Is there another report/method we can use to make headcount requirement projections?...maybe a workcenter capacity report????
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you,
Allison
Note: PM is a newer module for me...background is more in SD, WM, FI/CO...so I'll take all the help you can provide!!

Sorry...I realize now that I posted in the wrong forum. Reposted in EAM.

Plant Maintenance - Linkage between Task List and Maintenance Plan

Sir,
In Plant Maintenance, I have an equipment for which there are 9 maintenance activities that have to be performed every year. Out of these 4 activities will be carried out every month. 1 activity will be carried out during the months of February, June and October. 5 activities will be carried out only in the month of December.
I need to create Task List for all these activities and subsequently create Maintenance Plans for all these Task Lists.
Can I group all the 4 activites which will be carried out every month into one single Task List, with separate operation nos and time against each activity?. I don't know whether it is correct or not.
If I use the above method I can create 3 Task Lists for this particular equipment with same Group no and 3 Group Counters.
How to create Maintenance Plan for the above scenario?.
Eventhough, 4 activites are carried out every month and they have been grouped into a single Task List (Group counter 1) and if these activites are carried out on different dates within a month how can I create Maintenance Plan and subsequently create a Maintenance Order?.
I need some help in this regard. A detailed reply will be helpful.
Can anyone throw some light in this regard.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

you need to create one task list with a maintenance strategy with packages and hierarchy to outline the work requirements i.e. some tasks to be carried out 3 monthly some 4 monthly etc, and also if common tasks appear in 3 monthly package vs 4 monthly package then to suppress the duplicating task
you would then define a strategy based maintenance plan and run it to get the respective maintenance orders

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..

Maintenance plan search for no attached task list

Hello Experts!
I have tried searching for an answer to this to no avail. Is it possible to execute a search for maintenance plans that have no task list attached to them? I have tried IP15 thinking their would be a status to include or exclude but have had no luck. Any thoughts?
Thank you all for any help!

If suitable to you, you can get this information in scheduling overview from IP19 by
1.Selecting Tabular radio button
2. Giving Tasklist Type field value = blank as under.
Also try Tcode IP24 with point 2.

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.

Single Maintenance plan creation for multiple equipemnts with different cyc

Dear Experts,
I had a following scenario to map in PM module. can anybody guide me to map this process?
we had no.of equipments under one functional location and will go through preventive maintenance on yearly basis. For this, i will create the single cycle yearly maintenance plan which comprices of maintenance items, which is fine. out of these equipments some of the equipments will go for routine maintenance like quarterly, half-yearly, tri-quarterly. user want to club these scenarios also in single preventive maintenance plan. when we scdule this plan, system has to deliver monthly orders and as well as yearly orders from single preventive maintenance plan.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

Hi Krishna Murthy,
It can be acheived in the following Manner.
Create a Strategy say "Test" with Packages 1M, 2M,Q,H,Y packages.
Create 5(say) Equipment Task Lista for each of the 5 Equipment at that FL.
1st Task List will have Operations related to say Monthly(1M), Quartely(Q), yearly (Y)
2nd Task List will have Operations related to say Monthly(1M), Quartely(H), yearly (Y)
And so on... as per Business Requirement.
Now create a Maintenance Plan with 5 maintenance Items with respective Task Lits.
Now Schedule the Plan and give the Last Completion date as the Yearly package (A date one year less than the day you wanetd the yearly plan).
Then check the calls.
Regards

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
REGARDS,

Changing a cycle in an active maintenance plan

Hello All,
I received a request from an end user to make a change to an active maintenance plan. The plan has a 3mo cycle. The users would like to first, generate a call for March 2011 and second, to change this to a an annual cycle. I am able to use the 'Restart in Cycle' to generate a call in March, unfortunately, I am not able to figure out how to change the cycle from 3mo to 12mo. Is it possible for to change the plan cycle from 3mo to 12mo once the plan is started? The header section in IP10 is grayed out.
At the moment, it looks as though I need to create a new maintenance plan to accommodate the request.
Thanks in advance.
Anna

Mahee,
Appreciate your quick response. This was a strategy plan and I was able to make the changes as you had suggested, through the task list.
Thank you so much for your help!
