1. In the maintenance planning menu, choose Scheduling ® Deadline monitoring.

You reach the initial screen for deadline monitoring.

2. Enter the maintenance plans or maintenance strategies for which the system should perform scheduling.
3. Select either Call transaction or BDC session (batch input). The Call Transaction mode is proposed by the system.
4. Start the program using Program ® Execute.
