Workflow in maintenance plan

Hi All,
I need a workflow to update the scheduling parameters in a maintenace plan.
Is there a standard WF to do this?

Rogério Reis

Rogério Reis,
There aren't any standard work flows for this. You may have to develop your own.
When would you want to update the scheduling parameters for the plan?

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.

"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 Data Access Components (MDAC)

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,

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,

Hi
I try to close a list of preventive order (initiated by maintenance plan) from the transaction IW38 but the system displays the following error message
"No maintenance plan has been confirmed for Order 000004024181; Follow-up call exists
Message no. IW597"

Hi,
You mean close -

If yes Go in IW38 select all orders ,click Enviroment Tab and you can do the TECO but that order should not have Open reservation.

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.

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

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.

Reversal of a maint. order which was released through a maintenance plan?

Hi All,
Is there a way to do reversal of a maintenance order that was released through a maintenance plan?
Because I do not want to process the order; as such I would like to put a reversal indicator for that order and go ahead with the next order that was called through a maintenance plan.
If YES, kindly let me know how to do it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kannan J

Hi Thyagarajan, Thanks for the response!
When I want to skip the maintenance call object that was generated through a plan, the system gives me the following message.
"CALL CAN NO LONGER BE SKIPPED"
When I press for further help, system gives me the following message:
"Call can no longer be skipped
Message no. IP405
Diagnosis
You have tried to skip a date that has already been called.
System Response
Since maintenance call objects, for example, maintenance orders, already exist for the dates that have been called, you can no longer skip a date within the scheduling process.
Procedure
If you do not want to perform the maintenance call objects due on that date, you must reverse the orders that have been called.
You can select the maintenance call objects that have been called using the list editing functions in maintenance processing."
Which means there should be a way to reverse the order, isn't it?
May be with this message you may be able to throw some help on this.
Many thanks in advance
Kannan J

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?

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.
Regards, Premal Acharya
