2.2.3 Jobnet definition considerations

This section describes the matters you need to consider when defining jobnets.

For details of the information you can define in a jobnet, see the description of the Define Details dialog box for a root jobnet in 15. Windows and Dialog Boxes in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

(a) Execution agent

You can specify the name of the agent that is to execute a jobnet. An execution agent is a logical name representing the agent host to which a job or jobnet is distributed. Based on the execution agent information defined in the manager host, the manager maps the execution agent specified in the job or jobnet to the physical host name of the agent host, and distributes the jobs accordingly.

By specifying an execution agent group, you can distribute the processing load among a group of execution agents. The manager distributes jobs among the execution agents according to their assigned priorities.

(b) Concurrent execution and schedule option

For jobnets that are executed periodically, consider whether you want JP1/AJS3 to run multiple instances of the process concurrently if the process has not completed by the time the next scheduled start time arrives. For details, see 3.3.3 Concurrent execution and schedule option in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview.

(c) Number of logs to keep

Consider how many generations of execution logs you need to keep for the jobnet. For details, see 4.2.3 Jobnet generation management in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview.

(d) Timeout period

When a jobnet fails to execute by its scheduled start time, consider how long you want the jobnet to wait to execute before it times out. Jobnets that time out while waiting to execute are placed in Skipped so not executed status. For details, see the description of timeout periods in 3.1.1(2) Jobnets in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview.

(e) Jobnet monitoring

By setting the time required to execute a jobnet, you can monitor for end delays based on how much time has passed since the jobnet started. For details, see 5. Monitoring Method Considerations.

(f) Execution order control

You can assign an execution order to the jobnets at the highest level of the hierarchy to facilitate job management. For details, see 2.2.4 Using jobnet connectors to control the order of root jobnet execution.

(g) JP1 resource group

Consider the access permissions you need to assign to each jobnet. For details, see 6. Access Permission Considerations.

(h) Cautionary notes

Do not use a space character at the end of a comment in a jobnet definition. All space characters after a comment are treated as invalid.

Do not use machine-dependent characters in any part of a jobnet definition, because these characters might not be displayed correctly.
