 Event Monitor and Availability Check

Use

The Event Monitor (transaction /ISDFPS/LMSSC1) is an application used to display flights and relevant flight and maintenance events graphically. You can display all pending flights and maintenance tasks for aircraft (master equipment) on a timeline. This applies to both smaller maintenance tasks and inspections, as well as material maintenance measures with a wider scope such as revisions. The flights are displayed as bars on a time axis. You can use this graphical display of all flights and maintenance events to identify clashes between flights and maintenance measures planned for the same time, for example. The Event Monitor offers a graphical availability check .

The system can also carry out an automatic availability check for an individual aircraft and a specified time window. If date clashes are identified, the system issues a log.

You can print out the displayed results from the Event Monitor and availability check.

Note Note

The Event Monitor and availability check are used only to display data for which the display is not updated automatically. They cannot be used to create or plan flights or maintenance measures.

End of the note.

Integration

You can use the Business Add-In Availability Check for Aircraft (/ISDFPS/LM_AVAILABILITY) in enhancement spot /ISDFPS/LM_AIRCRAFT to adjust the availability check in the flight for an aircraft individually.

Prerequisites

You have configured the settings in Customizing according to your requirements. The following settings are available:

Event Monitor:

You define the date types, for example Flight or Maintenance , in the following IMG activity: Start of the navigation path Defense Forces and Public Security Next navigation step Support for Flight Operations Next navigation step Event Monitor and Automatic Availability Check Next navigation step Maintain Appointment Types End of the navigation path (table SCAPPTTYPE).

You configure the graphical utilization overview in the following IMG activity: Start of the navigation path Defense Forces and Public Security Next navigation step Support for Flight Operations Next navigation step Event Monitor and Automatic Availability Check Next navigation step Configure Event Monitor End of the navigation path (view cluster /ISDFPS/V_CLMSH).

Automatic Availability Check:

You configure the data retrieval type for the availability check in the following IMG activity: Start of the navigation path Defense Forces and Public Security Next navigation step Support for Flight Operations Next navigation step Event Monitor and Automatic Availability Check Next navigation step Determine Data Basis for Availability Check End of the navigation path (view /ISDFPS/V_LMEAP).

Features

Once the required master equipment has been selected on the selection screen, the Event Monitor displays all upcoming events for an aircraft in a calendar display divided into days. You can use this to navigate through the displayed events, such as the flight. You can update the data using a pushbutton or switch to a monthly, weekly, or daily view. You can adjust the calendar display to meet your requirements by choosing Start of the navigation path Extras Next navigation step Settings End of the navigation path . If you prefer a list display (ALV Grid), you can display all events as a list of dates in SAP List Viewer by choosing Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step List Display End of the navigation path . You return to the calendar display by choosing Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Return End of the navigation path .

You can call the graphical availability check from the flight plan directly. The screen is divided into two sections: an overview area and a detail area. The overview area consists of a calendar showing several months in which (depending on the factory calendar settings) public holidays and days containing events are highlighted. You can use this to quickly obtain an overview of days on which maintenance tasks or flights are planned.

Depending on the settings, the detail area shows either a day, week, or month. You can display different events, such as maintenance orders, flights, or revisions in different colors and with different icons for each day.

Clicking a day, week, or month on the calendar in the overview area displays the corresponding detail view with the relevant events. You can scroll forwards or backwards in the detail view using the forwards and backwards pushbuttons. You can also use an additional pushbutton in the detail area to switch between day, week, and month views. Pushbuttons are also available for setting the current week and day.

By double-clicking the individual events, you navigate to the standard view of the event, such as the maintenance order or revision. This means that you can see detailed information not featured in the graphical display.

You can set the colors and icons for events in Customizing (IMG activity Maintain Appointment Types ). Here you can also define which function module is executed when specific activities are carried out in the calendar, such as double-clicking an event/date. In the IMG activity Configure Event Monitor , you define the ERP objects for which events/dates in the calendar of the reference object (master equipment) are written. For example, events can be transferred to the calendar for order types PM01 and PM02 for a maintenance order, while all other order types do not write data to the calendar of the reference object.

You start the Event Monitor by calling transaction /ISDFPS/LMSSC1 or by choosing Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Support for Flight Operations Next navigation step Environment Next navigation step Event Monitorfrom the SAP menu End of the navigation path .

You start the automatic availability check in the Flight application by choosing Check in the Reference Object area.

You start the graphical availability check for multiple selected aircraft in the Flight Plan application by choosing the Scheduling Overview for Equipment pushbutton in the application toolbar.
