Adjust and Verify Background Job for Recalculations of Post Maintenance Checks

Explanation

This activity is used to view calculated due dates for post maintenance check events. You can also use this activity to adjust the execution time of the background job (For more information, refer the online help file Using Background Jobs). At installation, the server process for due calculations for post maintenance checks is set (by default) to execute each day at 8:00 P.M. The background job can also be executed manually for a specific post maintenance check.

Prerequisites

• A modification or a fault must exist and have connections to valid post maintenance checks.
• The modification must be complied with or the fault signed off.

System Effects

• One or more post maintenance check events are created after the modification has been complied with or after the fault has been repaired in accordance with the intervals set on the post maintenance check definition.
• A pending maintenance event is created if the due date is within the forewarning limit.
