8.1.2 Version compatibility between JP1/AJS - Manager and JP1/AJS - View

(a) Notes on using new functionality of JP1/AJS - Manager

When different versions of JP1/AJS - Manager and JP1/AJS - View are present, only the functions that are supported in the older version are available.

If unsupported detail definitions or schedule definitions exist when an older version of JP1/AJS - View is connected to a newer version of JP1/AJS - Manager, the Define Details or Schedule Settings dialog box might not be displayable. Even if the dialog boxes are displayable, the values of definition items might be set to their defaults or disabled. For this reason, if you perform setup using a newer version of JP1/AJS - View and then use an older version of JP1/AJS - View to connect to JP1/AJS - Manager, the defined items might be either restored to their defaults or disabled.

If you want to use the new JP1/AJS - Manager functions, use the same new versions of JP1/AJS - Manager and JP1/AJS - View.

(b) Notes on using a jobnet connector to control the execution order

• When you are connected to JP1/AJS - Manager 08-10 or later from JP1/AJS2 - View 08-01 or earlier, the jobnet connector is handled as an unknown jobnet and its icon appears as a question mark (?). You can move and delete units, but if you attempt an unsupported operation such as displaying the unit definition, error message KAVV502-E or KAVV556-E is output.

• When you are connected to JP1/AJS - Manager 08-50 or later from JP1/AJS2 - View 08-10, and you are using a jobnet connector to control root jobnets managed by different scheduler services, you cannot perform the following operations in JP1/AJS2 - View 08-10:

  • If you attempt to display the Define Details dialog box for a root jobnet, planning group, or jobnet connector for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E appears and the dialog box is not displayed.

  • If you display the Define Details dialog box for a root jobnet or planning group, and attempt to update the definition by specifying in Jobnet Connector the name of a jobnet connector for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E appears and the update fails.

  • If you display the Define Details dialog box for a jobnet connector, and attempt to update the definition by specifying in Connect destination the name of a root jobnet or planning group for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E appears and the update fails.

  • If you attempt to display the Monitor Details dialog box for a jobnet connector or root jobnet (including a root jobnet in a planning group) for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, sometimes message KAVV455-E appears and the dialog box is not displayed.

  • If you display the Monitor Details dialog box for a root jobnet (including a root jobnet in a planning group) for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, and the generations are not in a connected relationship, None appears in either Exec. ID (Source) or Exec. ID (Destination).

  • If you attempt to display the Detailed Schedule dialog box for a planning group or root jobnet (including a root jobnet in a planning group) for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, sometimes message KAVV455-E appears and the dialog box is not displayed.

  • If you attempt to display the Detailed Schedule dialog box for a root jobnet (including a root jobnet in a planning group), planning group, or jobnet connector for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, and the generations are not in a connected relationship, None appears in either Exec. ID (Source) or Exec. ID (Destination).

  • If you attempt to perform any of the following operations to display the connection-destination jobnet of a jobnet connector for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E or KAVV871-E appears and the connection-destination jobnet is not displayed:

    - Choose View, Connect destination, and then Daily Schedule (Hierarchy).

    - Choose View, Connect destination, and then Daily Schedule (All Jobs).

    - Choose View, Connect destination, and then Monthly Schedule.

    - Choose View, Connect destination, and then Jobnet Monitor.

  • If you attempt to create a new unit in a root jobnet or planning group for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E appears and the unit cannot be created.

  • If you attempt to create a start condition by choosing Edit and then Define Start Condition for a root jobnet for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, message KAVV455-E appears and the start condition cannot be created.

  • If you select a root jobnet or planning group for which Other service is specified for Connection range in the execution order control settings, and choose Options and Save as Jobnet Connector, followed by Edit and then Auto-create Jobnet Connector, message KAVV455-E appears and you cannot create the jobnet connector.

  To perform the above operations successfully, upgrade JP1/AJS - View to the same version as JP1/AJS - Manager.
