About this task

Maintenance schedules are run regularly using the Planned Maintenance Nightly Run scheduled job. When the scheduled job is run, the appropriate Service Orders are created for all records that meet the schedule criteria (including all records for the current day).

To configure the nightly planned maintenance scheduled job:

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Scheduled Jobs.
2. Open Planned Maintenance Nightly Run.
3. In Related Links, click Configure Job Definition.
4. To specify a different schedule for running the job, change the Run and Time fields.
   A scheduled job does not run based on the value set in the Next run time field in the maintenance plan record for this job. For more information, see Configure a maintenance schedule.
5. Click Update.
6. At any time, to run the scheduled job, click Execute Now.
   The scheduled job evaluates all previously defined schedules and executes the ones that are scheduled to run.

   Note:

   If one or more records in the table associated with the maintenance plan are deleted after the matching records were associated with the maintenance plan, the next nightly run removes all the records associated with those removed assets.
