When creating a New Database task for PM Calendar generation, I have seen examples for the Start and Stop Date being added.  Some of the examples I have seen are actual dates:

Question:

1- Are these dates actually needed on the Database Task?  When you create a New Schedule, you can add the Start and Stop Dates on that page.

2 - Can these dates be in the past (as shown in the screenshot)? Would this prevent any PM Actions outside the Start and Stop Date being generated? or does the date on the New Schedule override these dates?

3 - Can you just have SYSDATE and SYDATE+7 for the Start and Stop Dates?

 

Thanks,

Hi @CorGreggB ,

  1. This start and stop dates are similar to the ‘Date From’ and ‘Date To’ fields of the Calendar Generation.

 

 

 

However, below start and stop dates are used to set the valid period for the scheduled job.

 

 

2. If you set past dates, PM Generation will not happen for future dates as you expect, even though the scheduled task has run.

3. Yes you can set start and stop dates as SYSDATE and SYDATE+7. Please refer below as well.
