Adjust and Verify Background Job for Due Calculations for Interval Based Maintenance

Explanation

Use this activity to view the due dates for the interval based maintenance. You can also use this activity to adjust the execution time of the background job, for more information view the online help file, Using Background Jobs. At installation, the server process for calculation of due dates for the interval based maintenance is set (by default) to execute daily at midnight (00:00 A.M.). The background job can also be executed per serial manually.

The background job for the historical average value for operational events should be completed before the due calculations for interval based maintenance is run. It would be appropriate to define these jobs in sequence, or at least verify the setup before changing any of them, for more information view the online help file, Define Background Job for the Calculation of Historical Average Values for Operational Events.
