Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview

1.4 JP1/AJS3 database configurations

JP1/AJS3 - Manager uses an embedded database as standard for managing information about jobs and jobnets. However, an ISAM database can be used for reasons of compatibility with a previous version or if required by the operating environment.

JP1/AJS3 - Manager supports three types of database configurations:

Standard configuration

Standard configuration without ISAM

Compatible ISAM configuration

The following figure shows the database configurations supported by JP1/AJS3 - Manager.

Figure 1-9 JP1/AJS3 - Manager database configurations

Each database configuration is described next.

Organization of this section

(1) Standard configuration

(2) Standard configuration without ISAM

(3) Compatible ISAM configuration

(1) Standard configuration

In the standard configuration, all JP1/AJS3 - Manager functions are available.

The standard configuration applies when you perform:

A new installation of JP1/AJS3 - Manager

Setup after an upgrade installation from JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager

For the setup procedure after upgrading to JP1/AJS3 - Manager, see 8.5 Setup after upgrading from JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 System Design (Configuration) Guide.

(2) Standard configuration without ISAM

The standard configuration without ISAM is the same as a standard configuration, but without the submit job control function. Because there are no ISAM files, periodic re-organization of the database is unnecessary.

You cannot perform the following operations using a standard configuration without ISAM:

Execute QUEUE jobs and submit jobs on the local host from JP1/AJS3 - Manager on the local host or from JP1/AJS2 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Manager on a remote host.

Set up the execution environment for QUEUE jobs and submit jobs.

Execute commands used in the execution environment for QUEUE jobs and submit jobs (jpqxxxx commands).
For details about the commands used in the execution environment for QUEUE jobs and submit jobs, see 1.5.9(2) Commands available in an execution environment for queue or submit jobs in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference 2.

Execute jobs on the local host from JP1/AJS2 - Client ToolKit or P1/AJS2 - SDK on a remote host.

Execute jobs on the local host from another system such as JP1/NQSEXEC or JP1/OJE for VOS3.

For the setup required to change from a standard configuration to a standard configuration without ISAM, see 6.6.3 Changing the JP1/AJS3 database configuration to the standard configuration without ISAM in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Configuration Guide 1 (Windows) or see 14.7.2 Changing the JP1/AJS3 database configuration to the standard configuration without ISAM in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Configuration Guide 1 (UNIX).

As a variant of a standard configuration, the standard configuration without ISAM is included in the term standard configuration unless otherwise stated.

(3) Compatible ISAM configuration

The compatible ISAM configuration supports the previous JP1/AJS2 - Manager.

You cannot perform the following operations using a compatible ISAM configuration:

Manage execution agents and execution agent groups.

Switch a jobnet definition at a specified time while the jobnet is running (jobnet release function).

Display the Summary Monitor window in JP1/AJS3 - View.

Specify search conditions, other than the unit name or unit execution status, when searching for units in JP1/AJS3 - View.

Use commands that operate on the embedded database, other than the command for setting up a standard configuration.

If you were using ISAM files in the scheduler database with JP1/AJS2 - Manager, after you upgrade to JP1/AJS3 - Manager, the database configuration will be the compatible ISAM configuration. Although this will work, we recommend changing to the standard configuration. For the procedure to change the database configuration, see 8.5 Setup after upgrading from JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 System Design (Configuration) Guide.

The descriptions in this manual assume a standard database configuration unless otherwise stated. If you are using the compatible ISAM configuration, see your JP1/AJS2 manual.
