Job Management Partner 1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide

9.14.1 Performing release entry for jobnets

To perform release entry for a jobnet:

In the JP1/AJS3 - View window, in Function Menu, click Release Entry.
Release Entry is now selected.

In the tree area, click the job group that manages the release-source jobnet.
The job group you clicked is now selected.
The subordinate root jobnets appear in the list area.

Click the release source jobnet, and then choose Operations and then Release Entry.
The Register for Release dialog box appears.

Enter the required information for release entry.

Click the OK button.
The Register for Release box closes.
The definition of the jobnet you selected in step 3 is registered in the release-target jobnet, and the release status becomes Release wait.

Cautionary notes

You can specify only a root jobnet as the release source.

You cannot specify the following jobnets as the release source:
- Jobnet that is already specified as a release target
- Suspended jobnet
- Jobnet being edited
- Jobnet on which another user is performing operations

A jobnet whose schedule is later than the release date and that 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 date, 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 a jobnet-definition release even when the schedule of the jobnet is later than the release date.

If you want to change the definition of a jobnet whose release status is Release wait, cancel the release, change the definition, and then perform release entry. If you do not have enough time to cancel the release or to re-do release entry, or if you want to change the definition whose status is Being applied, suspend the jobnet and then change the definition.

An error might occur if you do not perform release entry at least one day before the release date. When you perform release entry, make sure that you do so well in advance.

Performing release entry significantly increases system load. When you perform release entry, try to avoid times when the system is busy executing jobs.

If release entry fails, the jobnet definition remains in the Release entry wait status and release entry is not performed. To prevent this problem, after you perform release entry, check whether the release status of the released jobnet definition changes from Release entry wait to Being applied or Release wait. If release entry fails and a definition remains in the Release entry wait status, cancel the release to delete the definition.
