This section describes the JP1/AJS3 functionality that you can use to automate work tasks.

The following table lists tasks that you might want to perform with JP1/AJS3 and the functionality to use in each case.

Table 2-9 JP1/AJS3 functions for realizing work task automation

Item Task you want to perform in JP1/AJS3 Relevant JP1/AJS3 function Relevant section

1 Prepare processing that changes dynamically depending on the results of the preceding job. Judgment job 2.4.3 Dynamically changing a process depending on the result of a preceding job (example of defining a jobnet that uses a judgment job)

2 Receive JP1 events from a host of your choice. JP1 event reception monitoring job 2.4.4 Executing an event-driven process (example of defining a jobnet that uses an event job)

3 Detect when a file is created, deleted, or updated. File monitoring job

4 Monitor specific data output to user log files or syslog. Log file monitoring job, or a combination of the JP1/Base log file trap function and a JP1 event reception monitoring job

5 Monitor messages output to the Windows event log. Monitoring Event Log job, or a combination of the JP1/Base event log trap function and a Receive JP1 Event job

6 Execute jobs with a regular time interval between them, or execute jobnets at a regular interval. Interval Control job

7 Execute a jobnet at regular intervals. Set the start condition and define an Interval Control job.

Start condition

Interval Control job

8 Use the information of the preceding event job to execute subsequent processing (job or jobnet). Inheriting of event job reception information

9 Execute processing (of a job or jobnet) by using a received file with an unspecified filename transferred into a specified folder.

Start condition

Monitoring Files job

Inheriting event job reception information

10 Send JP1 events to a host of your choice. Send JP1 Event job 2.4.5 Sending a JP1 event at completion of the preceding job or when an event occurs (example of defining a jobnet that uses a Send JP1 event job)

11 Execute a recovery job or jobnet when an error occurs during job execution. Set a recovery job or recovery jobnet. 2.4.6 Executing a specific process when a job ends abnormally (example of defining a jobnet that uses a recovery job or recovery jobnet)

12 Put subsequent executions of a jobnet on hold when the jobnet ends abnormally Set the hold method in the jobnet properties.

Hold if prev. = 'abend'

Hold if prev. = 'warning' or 'abend'

13 Change the definition of a jobnet during operation. Create a jobnet based on the new definition, and register it for release in the schedule at the date and time when you want the definition to change. 8.3 Switching a jobnet definition while the jobnet is registered for execution in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide

14 Group together several root jobnets with different schedules so that their tasks can be performed as a single jobnet. Planning group 10.1 Using a planning group to change the plans for root jobnets in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview

15 Execute processing (job or jobnet) in response to mail sent from a particular person or mail with a particular subject line.
