Running Conversion Programs

The system previously identified preventive maintenance schedules that did not have service intervals as unscheduled maintenance.

The system requires a value in the Schedule Type field (PDFG) in the Maintenance Schedule File table (F1207) and the Equipment PM Schedule (Model) table (F12071) to identify the type of maintenance. Therefore, you must run two new batch programs, Update PDFG in F1207 for 8.10 (R891207B) and Update PDFG in F12071 for 8.10 (R8912071B), to update the Schedule Type field for existing preventive maintenance schedules that do not have service intervals. The batch programs update the Schedule Type records in tables F1207 and F12071 with a value of 1 (unscheduled maintenance).

After you run the batch program, verify that the Schedule Type field is set to a value of 1 for all PM schedules in tables F1207 and F12071 that are not set up as condition-based (Schedule Type value of 2) or that do not have service intervals (such as hours, miles, fuel, days, or scheduled date).

This section discusses how to:

  • Run the Update PDFG in F1207 for 8.10 program (R891207B).

  • Run the Update PDFG in F12071 for 8.10 program (R8912071B).

Note: You can run the update programs multiple times with no adverse affects; but typically, you should only need to run them once.
