(a) Login page
Decide whether to log in to JP1/AJS3 Console Manager automatically when JP1/AJS3 Console View starts. Set this option if you want to skip the login procedure in the Login screen. However, without the login procedure, anyone will be able to log in to JP1/AJS3 Console Manager. If there are security issues, do not perform this setting. Note also that the values you specify on the Login page are saved to an insecure local file on the JP1/AJS3 - View computer. Use auto login only in an environment protected by the OS security feature.
Auto login is disabled when you start JP1/AJS3 Console View from JP1/IM - View, or when you start JP1/AJS3 Console view by specifying login information in the start command.
(b) Operations page
Consider the behavior of the system when you double-click on an icon in the map area and when you start JP1/AJS3 - View from JP1/AJS3 Console View.
- Double-click an AJS3 unit monitoring object
-
Select what the system does when you double-click the monitored object icon for an AJS3 unit in the map area. You can display the Define Details (Definition mode) dialog box or Detailed Information (Monitoring mode) dialog box, or start and display JP1/AJS3 - View for the jobnet being monitored.
- When JP1/AJS3 - View starts
-
You can select whether to display the JP1/AJS3 - View window or the Jobnet Monitor window when you start JP1/AJS3 - View from JP1/AJS3 Console View.
- Double-click a business scope (Monitoring Mode)
-
Select where to display the business scope when you double-click a business scope icon in the map area. You can display the business scope in the active window or in a new window.
This option is valid only in monitoring mode. In definition mode, the business scope always appears in the active window.
(c) Window page
Consider how object names and comments are to be displayed in the map area, and the tool tip that appears when you point to an object.
- Name new line
-
Object names displayed in the map area are wrapped to fit within the icon width. Long names might be difficult to read sometimes. If so, decide the wrap position (number of characters per line) as required, bearing in mind the naming conventions for object names.
- Display comments
-
To display a comment under a name in the map area, specify the number of characters from the beginning of the comment. Comments are displayed in the specified number of characters.
If you want to display only one particular comment, insert a hide control character at the beginning of the comments you do not want to display.
You can also use a control character to display a comment on a new line.
- Display tooltip (Monitoring Mode)
-
You can specify whether to display a comment or status name as the tool tip displayed when the cursor is placed near an object.
Displaying a status name is a useful way of quickly checking the status of an object without opening the Detailed Information dialog box.
This option is valid only in monitoring mode. In definition mode, the displayed tool tip is a comment.
(d) Other page
Decide the settings for JP1/AJS3 Console View log files.
- Trace level
-
Select the level of information to be output to a log file. You can select 1, 3, or 5. Setting a higher level means that more detailed information and more log entries will be output. Log files might need to be swapped in and out frequently, reducing processing speed on the JP1/AJS3 Console View host. Select 3 or 1 if you do not want processing to slow down.
The default is 3.
Trace levels are as follows:
-
Trace level 1
Outputs error information.
-
Trace level 3
Outputs error information, and information identifying what operation the user was performing.
-
Trace level 5
Outputs error information, information identifying what operation the user was performing, and information about the content of sent and received data.
-
- Max. log file size
-
You can specify a maximum log file size, as a value from 1 to 512 (megabytes). When the log file reaches the specified size, a second log file is created automatically. The second log file will be the same maximum size. When the data in the second log file reaches the specified size, the first log file is overwritten.
For details about estimating the log file size, see 3.4.5 Estimating the size of log files for JP1/AJS3 - View.
(2) Items in the Color Settings dialog box
Decide how to color-code the status icons in the map area. You can set the following two items:
-
Colors of AJS3 units (display colors associated with JP1/AJS3-specific statuses)
-
Other colors (display colors associated with JP1/AJS3 Console-specific statuses)
If you use the defaults, you do not need to consider the colors. However, if you want JP1/AJS3 Console View to display the same non-default colors as in JP1/AJS3 - View, follow the settings for JP1/AJS3 - View.
