RE: Automated MRP Planning Run

[Chris Neely <cneely@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joan,
One thing that I have learned is that you must 'submit' a job with the following
commands in the backup post command:

STRMAPICS
SBMMRPPLN
ENDMAPICS

This job cannot be run under a dedicated system caused by the Mapics backup. I
put it in the post command with a 2 minute delay simply so that it will kick off
after the backup. Also, I end the interactive subsystem even before I run the
backup so that nobody is on the system to interfere with either the  backup
getting dedicated mode or to conflict with the MRP Planning Run. I also kill the
browser jobs. You alternatively could kill all mapics jobs, put an exclusive
lock on sysctl, and update the 'dedicated data area' to make sure that no jobs
can interfere with the MRP Planning Run.

I think what I am saying is all correct.

Can anyone share their wisdom concerning the MRP Planning Run? Do you run it
as
a post command in the backup to make sure that you have a dedicated system?
That
seems to be the only way insure that you have a dedicated system if you are
using browser. You can't just end the interactive subsystem. What issues
have
you run into that have kept the MRP Planning Run from completing
successfully?


Thanks in advance.

Chris
