The Job Management Partner 1 Integrated System Management Facility comprehensively supports automatic operations and power-saving for the entire system and optimizes Enterprise TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in a network computing environment. Figure 2-7 shows the OpenTP1 system configuration using Job Management Partner 1.

Job management

By using Job Management Partner 1 in the OpenTP1 system, batch processing, usually performed by a mainframe computer, can be performed on a UNIX system. Dividing OpenTP1 jobs into online jobs and batch jobs enables more effective use of the system. In addition, by registering OpenTP1 events such as the start and termination of OpenTP1 in JP1 event service functionality (JP1/System Event Service or JP1/Base), the OpenTP1 system can be automatically run while linked with JP1 job management functionality (JP1/Automatic Operation Monitor or JP1/Automatic Job Management System 2).

Distribution and resource management

By using JP1/NETM/DM, programs can be distributed online in a batch.

Network management

JP1/Cm2 manages and operates a large, complicated network. By using JP1/Cm2 in the OpenTP1 system, the system can monitor the entire network system from a mainframe computer to a server configured using OpenTP1. In addition, by specifying the log service definition of OpenTP1, JP1/Cm2 enables outputting OpenTP1 terminal output messages to a JP1/Cm2 operation support terminal.

System operations using scenario templates

JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation is a product for managing execution of JP1/AJS2 jobs and jobnets.

JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation lets you create a scenario template, which defines a set of operations, and modify it after system reconfiguration to adapt it to the new system configuration. By using JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation, you can execute scenarios appropriate for the operating environment. JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation also lets you create and execute a scenario by combining predefined scenario templates provided by OpenTP1. You can use scenario templates to automate system operations.

JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation consists of the following components:

• JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation Manager
  With this component, you can define and save scenario templates, and can manage the execution of scenario templates. You can also register the saved scenario templates as JP1/AJS2 jobnets by connecting to JP1/AJS2 - Manager.
  
• JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation View
  With this component, you can operate or monitor JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation via a graphical user interface (GUI).
  

For details on applying scenario templates to system operations by using JP1/AJS2 - Scenario Operation, see 3.10 System operations using scenario templates or the manual OpenTP1 Operation.
