SSMS 2012 cannot create/modify Maintenance Plans

I created two brand new SQL Server 2012 databases on two different, very powerful servers.
I installed SSMS 2012 64bit version (11.0.2100.60) (NOT Express) on my new/clean Dell Latitude E6530 64bit 4GB, lots of hard drive.
I connect to the databases with an admin account that has full rights to the database instances.
On one database I can list the three Maintenance Plans that I created by RDP onto the server and using SSMS 2008R2.
I right click an existing MP and pick Modify - nothing happens.
I double click an existing MP - nothing happens.
I right click, pick New Maintenance Plan... - nothing happens.
I WAS able to use the Maintenance Plan Wizard to create a new MP, once created the MP shows in the list, but I cannot modify the MP.
I connected to an existing SQL Server 2008R2 database instance and got the same results.
I checked the Event Log and did not see anything.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Randy

Hello,
What's the edition of the SQL Server 2012 did you installed?
Did the issue presists when you connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance in the SSMS 2012? Please verify that you had install Management Tools Complete as well as Magagement Tools Basic.
According to
MSDN article, point 5.5:
When SQL Server 2012 management tools are used to modify an existing maintenance plan created in a previous version of SQL Server management tools (SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2005), the maintenance plan is saved in a
new format. Earlier versions of SQL Server management tools do not support this new format.
So, if you create the maintenance plan in SSMS 2012, then you may cannot open it in the eariler version of SSMS.

Management studio error while creating/editing maintenance plan

Hi,
I had MS SQL 2012 enterprise edition installed and everything was working fine. Later I removed MS SQL 2012 and re-installed. Now when I am trying to create maintenance plan I am getting below error. When I click Yes system allows me to go through the maintenance
plan wizard and create new plan but when I want to edit it give me same error and it doesn't open screen to edit the plans. Can you please provide solution to below error?
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
The 'Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsPackage, Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' package did not load correctly.
The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:\Users\pac\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.Continue
to show this error message?
Yes No
I tried repair option from MS SQL 2012 setup but it didn't solve the problem. This is my production system and it has TFS 2013 and it's database. Please let me know how severe this problem is? Is it something to be worried about in future? How do I solve
this error?
Regards, Premal Acharya

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your reply. I resolved this issues yesterday by installing SQL Server
Management Tools Complete. I suspect that
Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsPackage, Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration
DLL files were having issues. When I searched my system I could only find Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DLL and
Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsPackage.DLL file was missing.
When I re-ran the MS SQL setup to add new feature I selected Management Tools Complete and after installation this error was resolved. Though this has solved the issue for now I feel the error shouldn't have come with Management Tools -
Basic installation as I had installed MS SQL Server before with Management Tools - Basic and it had worked without any issues.
For now this issue is resolved but it will be of good help if I can know the cause of this error and what could be the possible solution.
Thanks.

Work order dates calculated by priority when created by maintenance plan

Can anyone tell me how to get the dates on a work order created via a maintenance plan to be calculated from the priority? I know how to get the notification dates to calculate from the priority when created via a maintenance plan but I can't seem to get the order dates to do the same.
Any info would be most appreciated.

How to create backup maintenance plan for SQL 2014

Depending on your backup product, it may include a hot backup for SQL - check that too

I need to create a basic maintenance plan that backs up our DB nightly and also need some pointers on any other maintenance that should be done would be great. Obviously I'm very new to using SQL, trying to get my feet wet.

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.

Maintenance plan for SQL Server 2012 Database in AlwaysOn Availability Group

Hi all,
I need assistance creating a maintenance plan that will backup a databases logs in order to prevent them from filling up the drive they are located on. I have looked at some blogs but they do not specifically show how this is done.
My database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi all,
I need assistance creating a maintenance plan that will backup a databases logs in order to prevent them from filling up the drive they are located on. I have looked at some blogs but they do not specifically show how this is done.
My database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Regular maintenance plan would work. Only thing to remember is that when you create log backup plan, there is a checkbox which says whether it should honor backup preference or not.

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."

Create settlement rule for Maintenance plan

We have a requirement to create a maintenance plan and assign a settlement rule to the same. I was able to create the maintenance plan using MPLAN_CREATE. I created the settlement rule using the function module K_SRULE_SAVE_UTASK. My problem is when I go to IP03 to check if the settlement rule has been created for the maintenance item, it is not found. When I go to IP02 and click on create and go into the settlement rule maintenance screen, I'm able to see the settlement rule created using the function module.but in the MPOS table, I don't see the indicator IND_ABRVO ( settlement rule indicator ) being maintained.
Can you please help in finding out what I'm missing.
Edited by: Sujay Venkateswaran Krishnakumar on Dec 31, 2009 11:34 AM

Sri Vas,
Is this specific to a particular WBS element or does it happen for ANY WBS element? The WBS element may not have been setup properly.Check the same WBS element directly by going to the WBS element change transaction.Also check the account assignment and status of the WBS element that Ramesh had suggested. If the WBS element has been defined properly,Try changing the settlement rule to a cost center and see if you still get this error.

Maintance jobs with Maintenance plans - troubleshooting

Some of our old servers have maintenance jobs created with inbuilt mainteance plans. We find difficulty in troubleshooting these kind of jobs when it fails. Can anyone shed a detailed analysis of how to troubleshoot these jobs which are created with maintenance
plan like where to look, any system table/view that could help etc. The job history gives very minimal details and often result in cropped off messages.
I was told that if we alter the maintenace plans associated with the jobs and save it. It will break the job, is it so?

For SQL server 2000
You can check the failure logs either from jobs or Maintenance plan history
In enterprise manager, expand the server group
Expand the management folder and select the database maintenance plans
Right click the maintenance plan that failed and select the Maintenance plan history
Check for the failure occurred and double click the failed row to see more details or on failure
Similarly from SQL server 2005 onwards maintenance plan history, you can check from maintenance plan
In SSMS, connect to SQL instance
Expand the Management folder and select the maintenance plans
Select the maintenance plan and click on maintenance plan history and check for the failure

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:

Service products for Maintenance Plan

Hi All,
Is it possible to Create maintenance plan from a a Service product - Contract Line item(VA41)? I have come across the Tcode OISF but do not know how to make use of it?
Would appreciate if you could throw some light on this?
Pranav

Hello
You have maintained the following data for the service product that you subsequently entered in the outline agreement under Logistics --> Customer Service >Service Agreements>Environment -->Sales and Distribution -->Service Products:
·        Plant for maintenance planning
·        Work center
·        Order type
·        Plant of maintenance work center
·        Business area
·        General maintenance task list (you cannot assign equipment task lists or functional location task lists)
·        Task list type
Then-you have created an outline agreement that fulfils the following conditions:
1)The contract category is Contract.
2)The contract type is Service and Maintenance.
3) On the tabstrip Sales, you have specified
              I)the start and end dates of the contract
              II)service product as outline agreement item
4)You have specified the start and end dates for billing in the billing plan under Goto> Item>Billing plan.
When Creating the Maintenance Plan for Above Contracts
1)When creating a maintenance plan, you choose an appropriate maintenance plan category.

Issue in displaying Maintenance Plan Category.....

Hello,
I have created a maintenance plan category ZQ , copying PM category in the golden client, and transported it to test client. This customized plan category is not populated in the transaction IP41 in both servers, golden client and test client. whereas this value is populated in list edit(IP15) maintenance plan category. I have checked in SPRO setting also and is available.
Path of config:
spro>plant maintenance and customer service>set maintenance paln category & assign number range.
Is there anything missing?

In the configuration have you set the call object correctly. Call object must be a PM object for it to appear in IP41, but can be anything to appear in IP15.
I have replicated this and cannot find any issues - ZQ is available in both IP41 and IP15 transactions, call object used - Maintenance and Service orders

Assign Maintenance Planning Plant to Maintenance Plant

Hi All,
What is the purpose of the configuration node "Assign Maintenance Planning Plant to Maintenance Plant"?
What happens if we don't maintain this configuration?
Regards,
Devasenapathy.K

Hi ,
Maintenance Planning Plant and Planning Plant are different
In Logistics you define Plant which has to be distinguished as Maintenance Planning Plant . In these Plants you will plan for all your maintenance tasks
You can plan and created
1. Task list
2. Planning and scheduling of Maintenance Plans
3.creation of Notifcations
4. Execution of Maintenacne Orders
Maintenance Plants are also termed as Plants in which your technical objects are installed
For example, if an equipment X is installed in the Plant 0001 then Plant 0001 is called as Planning Plant and this plant on its own cannot plan for maintenance activities unless it is created as Maintenance Planning Plant
if this Plant 0001 is created as Maintenance Planning Plant, then this plant is responsible for Planning and execution of tasks for maintenance
this is where your assignment is needed, if not Maintenance and execution cannot happen
hope it is clear
thanks
