2.2.1 Notes on installation

This subsection provides notes on installing JP1/AJS3 series programs.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Host on which JP1/AJS3 - Manager is installed

(2) Notes on upgrade installation

(3) Remote installation (software distribution) using JP1/Software Distribution

(4) Upgrade installation from JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager

(1) Host on which JP1/AJS3 - Manager is installed

JP1/AJS3 - Agent cannot be installed on a host on which JP1/AJS3 - Manager is installed.

(2) Notes on upgrade installation

(a) About customizable files

JP1/AJS3 files include files that can be customized by users. Because an upgrade installation does not replace existing customizable files, current user-customized settings are retained.

Note that the folder that contains the customized files also contains model files (files ending with .model) from which the customized files were created. These model files are updated in an upgrade installation. After an upgrade installation has been completed, check whether the files in the folders listed below have been customized. For any customized configuration files you find, make the same customization to the copies of the model files you have made. Next, delete all the existing configuration files, and rename the copies of the model files so that they become the new configuration files. If no files have been customized, you need only to delete all the existing configuration files and rename the copies of the model files.

For JP1/AJS3 - Manager:

JP1/AJS3-installation-folder\conf

JP1/AJS3-Console-installation-folder\conf

For JP1/AJS3 - Agent:

JP1/AJS3-installation-folder\conf

Cautionary notes:

The model files in the jp1ajs2 shared folder are not updated.

The conf files in the jp1ajs2 shared folder are used as configuration files for logical hosts.

If JP1/AJS2 - Manager is upgraded to JP1/AJS3 - Manager, the process management definition files and extended startup process definition files (jp1ajs_xxxd.conf and jp1ajs_xxxx_0700.conf in the folders listed above) are automatically updated for a JP1/AJS3 - Manager process configuration. If linkage with HP NNM or a queueless job execution environment was set up in JP1/AJS2 - Manager, check whether the settings in these files have been inherited after the upgrade installation and setup has been completed. If these settings have not been inherited, re-specify them. If the restart settings were customized (for example, so that abnormally terminated JP1/AJS2 processes are restarted), the restart settings are reset to the defaults. If you want to disable the restart settings or change the maximum number of restart attempts, customize the settings again after the upgrade installation and setup have been completed.

(b) About upgrade installations of JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent

When JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent is installed, the JP1/AJS2 service and the JP1/AJS2 Monitor service are deleted, and are combined as the JP1/AJS3 service.

Before you perform an upgrade installation of JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS3 - Agent, make sure that all services and processes of JP1/AJS3 or JP1/AJS2 have stopped. We recommend that you back up necessary definition files before the upgrade installation. For the objects to be backed up, see 5.2.2 Target files and backup timing in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 System Design (Configuration) Guide.

(c) When JP1/AJS3 - View is being used

Close the JP1/AJS3 - View window before you perform an upgrade installation.

After an upgrade installation, the host might need to be restarted. If the host needs to be restarted, a message asking you to restart the host appears after the upgrade installation. If this message appears, restart the host.

(3) Remote installation (software distribution) using JP1/Software Distribution

JP1/AJS3 supports remote installation by JP1/Software Distribution.

The following types of remote installation are supported:

New installation
JP1/AJS3 can be installed as a new installation on target hosts.

Upgrade installation
The version of JP1/AJS3 or JP1/AJS2 installed on target hosts can be updated. Note, however, that setup must be performed on each host if JP1/AJS2 - Manager is upgraded to JP1/AJS3 - Manager.

For details about the actual procedure for remote installation when JP1/Software Distribution is used, see the Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Administrator's Guide Volume 1 (For Windows Systems) or Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Administrator's Guide Volume 2 (For Windows Systems).

For details about how to perform the required setup after JP1/AJS2 - Manager has been upgraded 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.

(4) Upgrade installation from JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager

Because JP1/AJS3 - Manager requires more disk space and memory than JP1/AJS2 - Manager, accurately estimate how much disk space and memory will be required before upgrading JP1/AJS2 - Manager to JP1/AJS3 - Manager. Note that operation of JP1/AJS3 - Manager following an upgrade from JP1/AJS2 - Manager cannot start until setup has been completed after the upgrade installation. Because the time required for the setup to finish depends on the amount of data and other factors, the upgrade installation and setup must be performed according to a suitable plan. For details about the setup procedure required after an upgrade installation from JP1/AJS2 - Manager 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.
