Scheduling Parameters You can use the scheduling parameters to adapt the scheduling process to meet your individual requirements.
The maintenance of scheduling parameters is dependent on the maintenance plan type .
You maintain the scheduling parameters for single cycle plans and multiple counter plans directly in the maintenance plan.
For maintenance plans with a maintenance strategy , the system copies the scheduling parameters defined in the strategy to the maintenance plan. The scheduling parameters are default values that you can change in the maintenance plan.
Take account of the following special features for changes:
Changes that you make in the maintenance strategy will not affect the scheduling parameters of existing maintenance plans.
However, maintenance packages are referenced. In other words, when you make changes in the maintenance packages of the maintenance strategy, (for example, delete packages, change the preliminary or follow-up buffer), the changes are also valid for the maintenance plans to which you have assigned the strategy.
You can maintain the scheduling parameters in the maintenance plan or in the maintenance strategy. The following table shows which scheduling parameters you can only maintain in the maintenance strategy and which you can maintain in both the strategy and the maintenance plan:
S: Maintenance only possible in the maintenance strategy
P, S: Maintenance possible in both the strategy and the maintenance plan
P, C: Maintenance possible in the cycle set and the maintenance plan.
The following scheduling parameters are available for different maintenance plan types:
