Set a Maintenance Program Active
Explanation
This activity is used to activate a maintenance program. Only one revision of
a maintenance program can be active at any given time. If a revision of the
maintenance program is already in the Active status, it will be set to
the Obsolete status when you choose to activate another revision of the
maintenance program.
Serials can only be connected to active maintenance
programs. When a new revision of a maintenance program is activated, all serials
(that are not locked) connected to the old maintenance program revision will be reconnected
to the new revision. If there exists locked serials connected to the old
maintenance program revision, they will not be connected to the new revision of the
maintenance program when it is activated. You must unlock a serial to be able
to connect an active maintenance program to the serial.
Note that it is possible to activate and use
maintenance programs consisting of maintenance groups only having convenience
tasks defined.
