Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide

8.3.2 Registering a jobnet-definition release

When you register a jobnet-definition release, you register a previously-defined jobnet definition so that it will be switched into a running jobnet at a specified date and time. When a jobnet-definition release is registered, all running jobnets are treated as jobnets with release information. As a result, the release-target jobnet icon is displayed in the JP1/AJS3 - View window.

You can use either of the following methods to register a jobnet-definition release:

Choose Release entry on the function menu in the JP1/AJS3 - View window

Execute the ajsrelease command

For details about how to use the JP1/AJS3 - View window to register a jobnet-definition release, see 9.14.1 Performing release entry for jobnets in the Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide. For details about how to use the ajsrelease command, see ajsrelease in 2. Commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference 1.

Cautionary notes

A jobnet whose schedule is later than the release time and which has been registered for fixed execution with either a period or a date specified cannot be specified as a release target. In such cases, cancel the registration or prohibit the execution of schedules after the release time, and then register the jobnet-definition release. Note, however, that if a number of future generations is also specified for the jobnet registered for fixed execution, you can register the jobnet-definition release even when the schedule of the jobnet is later than the release time.

You cannot use the jobnet release function for jobnets of different scheduler services.

The following jobnets cannot be specified as a release source:
- A jobnet that has already been specified as a release target
- A suspended jobnet
- A jobnet being edited
- A jobnet being used by another user
- A jobnet for which at least two of the following are defined: a jobnet connector, a connection-destination jobnet, or a start condition (.CONDITION)

A jobnet whose definition is in Release wait, Delete wait or Release entry wait status cannot be specified as a release-target jobnet. If you want to register a jobnet definition in the Release wait status, wait for the jobnet status to change to Being applied. For a jobnet definition in Delete wait or Release entry wait status, cancel the jobnet-definition release, and then re-register it.

The scheduler service needs to be running to register a release.

Registering a jobnet-definition release creates a system load that is equal to or greater than the load created by the definition for the release-source jobnet. Do not register a jobnet-definition release during peak job execution times.

When you register a jobnet-definition release, generations after the release date are re-created based on the registered jobnet definition. Therefore, any changes made by temporarily changing the plan before the registering the jobnet-definition release are not passed to the generations after the release date. Note, however, that the information specified during registration for execution, such as macro variables and JP1 user, is passed.

Even if you register, for release, a jobnet definition that (in the schedule definition) will have no next scheduled generation created, no scheduled generation will be created from that definition. Therefore, use JP1/AJS3 - View or the ajsshow command to make sure that a scheduled generation has been created correctly from the jobnet definition that was released. If a scheduled generation has not been created, cancel the jobnet-definition release, review the release-source jobnet definition, and then re-reregister the jobnet-definition release.

When fixed execution registration is used, the jobnet definition returns to the unregistered status if:
- Generations exist only after the specified release date, and
- A jobnet-definition release is registered for a jobnet definition for which (in the schedule definition) no next scheduled generation is created.
In such cases, cancel the registration of the jobnet-definition release, review the release-source jobnet definition, again register the jobnet-definition release, and then re-register the jobnet definition for execution.
