How To Fix IP115 - The maintenance plan already contains a time cycle

IP115 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IP - Messages for preventive maintenance

• Message number: 115

• Message text: The maintenance plan already contains a time cycle

What causes this issue?

You are creating a <DS:GLOS.multiple_counter_plan>multiple counter
plan</> and have tried to assign <ZH>several</> time-based
<DS:GLOS.maintenance_cycle>cycles</> (in other words, cycles without a
counter) to the <GL:preventive_maintenance_plan>maintenance plan</>.
However, a multiple counter plan can only contain a <ZH>single</>
time-based cycle, without reference to a counter.

How can this happen?

You are working with an AND or and OR operation:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

<zh>OR operation</>
1st time-based cycle:,,every 3 months
2nd time-based cycle:,,every 4 months
With these preconditions, the second cycle can never have any effect on
<GL:scheduling>scheduling</>, because the cycle that determines further
scheduling is the one that is due first in the case of an OR operation.
<ZH>AND operation</>
If you were working with an AND operation with the same example, the
first cycle could never have any effect on scheduling, because in this
case, the system waits until all the conditions have been fulfilled.

created.
