Re: MRP250 IN MENDLESS LOOP...

I was just involved in the same issue on V6.0.04.  The program is probably 
not in a loop it will just take FOREVER to run.  My client started on a 510 
and the program had to be killed after running for 8 to 10 hours with the 
program still not finishing.  They upgraded to a 720 and the program ran in 4 
hours.  Still an extremely long time considering MRP runs in 45 minutes.

Here are a couple of things to try:

1.  Limit date ranges and plannar codes on the submission.  Doing this cut 
the time down to about 20 minutes.

2.  Check the CIC file to make sure that all of you stocking whs, etc are 
populated correctly.  If they are not, the program must seach your warehouse 
master file, and all of you locations for each item.  Unfortunately, the way 
the code was written, (Not using SQL) it reads the warehouse master, then all 
of the locations and then compares that back to the item master.......

 Again anyone,
 
 I'm having problem with MRP250.  I'm running BPCS 6.0.0.2 on a
 9404-510.  This program goes into an endless loop when run.  Is there
 anyone in this group with experience in MRP250 on what is really the
 problem.  We are an AS400 shop for a telecommunication manufacturer.
 
 Your help is greatly appreciated.
