4.5.2 Using common settings

This subsection describes how to use common setting information (common user profile) in JP1/AJS3 - View.

In JP1/AJS3, you can save (upload) the JP1 user settings specified in any instance of JP1/AJS3 - View as a common user profile on any connected JP1/AJS3 - Manager host. The following information is saved as a common user profile:

• Settings in the Preferences dialog box
• Settings in the ajs2view_opt.conf file
• Default settings in dialog boxes

Users who log in to a JP1/AJS3 - Manager where the common user profile has been saved can download and use the saved common user profile, even in situations like these:

• A newly registered JP1 user logs in for the first time, and wants to use JP1/AJS3 - View in the same environment as other JP1 users.
• A previously registered JP1 user logs in to JP1/AJS3 - Manager from a JP1/AJS3 - View terminal that he or she has never used before, and wants to use the same environment as always.

We recommend that you use a common user profile to set up the JP1/AJS3 - View environment if you need to ease the task of setting up the environment for each JP1 user.

(2) Notes on using common settings

Note the following when using common settings:

• Users can upload and download common settings, and change the common settings saved on a JP1/AJS3 - Manager host, regardless of their JP1 user privileges or the rights of the mapped OS user. To allow only certain users to upload or download a common user profile, deactivate the menu commands. For details about how to do so, see 11. Customizing Windows and Dialog Boxes Used for JP1/AJS3 - View in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.
• The OS user mapped to a JP1 user who uploads a common user profile requires the write privilege (permission to write to a file). Grant the write privilege to the following folders:
  Physical host (Windows):
  
  • JP1/AJS3-Manager-installation-folder\conf
  • Mgr_Path\conf\Profiles
  • Mgr_Path\conf\Profiles\(common)
  The default Mgr_Path folder is as follows:
  

  Windows Server 2008:

  system-drive\Program Data\HITACHI\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2

  Windows Server 2003:

  system-drive\Program Files\HITACHI\JP1AJS2

  Physical host (UNIX):
  
  • /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf
  • /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles
  • /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles/(common)
  Logical host (Windows):
  
  • shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf
  • shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf\Profiles
  • shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf\Profiles\(common)
  Logical host (UNIX):
  
  • shared-directory/jp1ajs2/conf
  • shared-directory//jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles
  • shared-directory//jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles/(common)
• When multiple JP1 users update a common user profile, the JP1 user settings that were most recently uploaded take effect.
• The OS user who downloads a common user profile (starts JP1/AJS3 - View) requires the write privilege (permission to write to a file). Grant the write privilege to the following folders:
  

  Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista:

  %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\HITACHI\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2V\conf\JP1-user-name\ajs2view_opt.conf

  (By default, %ALLUSERSPROFILE% resides in system-drive\Program Data.)

  Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional:

  JP1/AJS3-View-installation-folder\conf\JP1-user-name\ajs2view_opt.conf
