(1) Notes on the environment

You cannot switch the display language of JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant.

Since JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant executes remote commands internally, it does not run properly when different types of character sets are used on the monitoring target manager host. Make sure these character sets match. The character set of the monitoring target is indicated by one of the following:

When the monitoring target is JP1/AJS2 - Manager host (Windows), the value specified for Character set in the Logical Host Common page in the Manager Environment Settings dialog box.

When the monitoring target is JP1/AJS2 - Manager host (UNIX), the character set specified for the AJSCHARCODE parameter in the scheduler service environment setting parameters.

The setting on the OS when the JP1/AJS3 service or JP1/AJS2 Monitor service is running

You can only use JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant when the language environment is the same as that of the monitoring manager.

You must set the same time zone for the machine running JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant, the machine running the JP1/AJS3 - Manager or JP1/AJS2 - Manager being monitored, and the machine running the Web browser. If the time zone setting is inconsistent among these machines, time information such as the start time and date, or operation time and date of a job or jobnet, might be displayed incorrectly. To view the time zone for JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant, from Control Panel, open Date & Time, and then click the Time Zone tab.

When the database type for the scheduler service to be monitored is an embedded database or HiRDB, a packet filtering or NAT firewall may exist between the scheduler service and JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant. If a firewall exists, you must specify settings for passing through the firewall. For details about the settings, see 3.8 Settings for passing through a firewall.

In JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant, the AJSAUTOJUDGE environment variable of monitoring-target manager hosts is not used when the -X no option is specified for remotely executed commands. As a result, units in planning groups are not automatically selected from JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant to have operations performed on them or to have their statuses acquired.

For the account for the JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant service, do not change the system account, which is set by default, to a user account.

(2) Notes on installation and setup

If you install JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant in an environment^# in which there are no server private keys but in which there is an SSL server certificate, a default server private key is not created and the SSL server certificate is not updated. Note that the JP1/AJS3 WOA HTTP Server service cannot be started after JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant has been installed.
Take one of the following actions to resolve the problem:

JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant does not function properly in environments where conversions are not possible from the local host name to the IP address, and vice versa. Set up the hosts file or the DNS server so that these conversions can take place.

If you uninstall JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant while the Services window is open, the Startup Type setting for the JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant services might be changed to Disabled, which prevents the services from being deleted. Before you uninstall JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant, make sure that the Services window is closed.
If the services were not deleted because the Startup Type setting was changed to Disabled, restart the system. After the system is restarted, the services are deleted. Note that if you re-install Web Operation Assistant while the Startup Type setting is Disabled, the JP1/AJS3 - Web Operation Assistant services will not be added.
