JP1/AJS3 Console Agent service Periodically monitors target objects (root jobnets) in the local host on instruction from JP1/AJS3 Console Manager, and reports any changes back to JP1/AJS3 Console Manager.

JP1/AJS3 Check Manager service Issues instructions to the JP1/AJS3 Check Agent service to perform pre-execution checks of jobs defined in JP1/AJS3, and receives the check status back from the JP1/AJS3 Check Agent service.

JP1/AJS3 Check Agent service Performs execution pre-checks of jobs defined in JP1/AJS3, on instruction from JP1/AJS3 Check Manager.

JP1/AJS3 Queueless Agent service Accepts queueless job execution requests from JP1/AJS3 - Manager, and executes queueless jobs.

JP1/AJS3 Queueless File Transfer service Accepts file transfer requests from the queueless job manager process, and sends data from transfer files or the standard error output file to the queueless job manager process.

The following table describes JP1/AJS3 - Agent services.

Table 4-3 JP1/AJS3 - Agent services

Service name Description

JP1/AJS3 service Executes work tasks.

JP1/AJS3 Mail service Controls monitoring of email transmissions when linked to a Windows mail system.

JP1/AJS3 Queueless Agent service Accepts queueless job execution requests from JP1/AJS3 - Manager, and executes queueless jobs.

Cautionary notes

The displayed service name of the JP1/AJS3 Database service and JP1/AJS3 Database ClusterService service is the setup identifier set at installation. For details about the setup identifier, see the description of the -id option in ajsembdbsetup in 2. Commands Used during Setup in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference 2.

In UNIX, a superuser must start the above services.

The JP1/Base service and JP1/AJS3 service need to be active to define or execute work tasks in JP1/AJS3. Start the JP1/Base service before starting the JP1/AJS3 service. Stop the JP1/Base and JP1/AJS3 services when you finish defining or executing work tasks.

In a manager/agent configuration, you need to start and end the JP1/AJS3 service on both JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent.

Do not change the system date and time after starting the JP1/AJS3 service as this will affect the jobnet execution schedule. For details about this issue, see 8.9.3 Changing the date and time of the system in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide.

When you start JP1/AJS3 - View to perform operations on a jobnet registered for execution from JP1/AJS3 - View, make the time zone of the JP1/AJS3 - View host the same as the time zone of the connected JP1/AJS3 service.
When you perform operations on a jobnet from JP1/AJS3 - View, the time in the time zone in which the JP1/AJS3 service is running is displayed in JP1/AJS3 - View. Therefore, if the time zones are different, the time of actual operations and the time displayed in JP1/AJS3 - View will be out of sync by the difference between the two time zones. For details, see 2.4.1 Time zones.

When using the Windows mail system linkage functionality, you can choose whether to use the JP1/AJS3 Mail service or the desktop mail monitoring process. If you choose the mail monitoring process, the JP1/AJS3 Mail service is not started. For details, see 2.2.4 Setting up the environment for the mail system linkage in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Linkage Guide.

The JP1/AJS3 Database services and JP1/AJS3 Database ClusterService services are unnecessary in ordinary operation because they are controlled by JP1/AJS3. Use these services only when you perform maintenance for an embedded database.
