Certain Maintenance Plan not getting scheduled in the background job

[Former Member]

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,

The error was coming up because one of the task-lists being used was procuring an external services, but the purchasing group was wrongly mentioned. We changed the purchasing group and everything worked fine.

Hi,

I went through the IP30 log, I am getting the error message

'Groups don't match'

Can you let me know what this error means??

Hi nitin,

You said that the maintenance plans which got problem in rescheduling are restarted previously.

I think you should change the start date of the Maintenance Plan and put this start date later than the calls already generated.

Try this.

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.

IP30 is running successfully.

If I schedule the plan through IP30 everything goes fine, the issue is that these certain plans don't get scheduled through the background job.

It is hard to understand why all other plans are getting scheduled and only these plans don't get scheduled.

All the data is correct i.e scheduling period, call horizon, sort fields.

The re-scheduling indicator is also checked in IP30

The only difference is that these plans have been re-started at some-point or the other.

Have you face any such situation???
