11.7.16 Setting whether the Start button is displayed in the Monitor Details dialog box and which external program it launches
When you double-click a job icon or a unit displayed in the map area or list area of the Jobnet Monitor window, the Monitor Details dialog box appears. You can specify whether the Start button appears in the Monitor Details dialog box, and configure the button to launch a different external program for each custom job.
By assigning a suitable external program to the Start button, you can more easily check the detailed execution status of custom jobs.

Copy the custom job extended settings file.
Copy the model custom job extended settings file and give it the following name:
-
In Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Vista
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Hitachi\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2V\custom.dir\custom-job-name#.cjx
(The default value of %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is system-drive\ProgramData)
-
In Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional
JP1/AJS3 - View-installation-folder\custom.dir\custom-job-name#.cjx
- #
-
The character string you specified in the Name field of the Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box in step 1.
-
-
Edit the file you copied in a text editor such as Notepad.
Use the following format. Do not change any entries that are not described here.
- <DTLSHWBTN SHOW="true|false">
-
Specify true to display the Start button in the Monitor Details dialog box, and false to not display the button.
- <DTLSHWPROG>"path-of-external-program" parameters-passed-to-external-program</DTLSHWPROG>
-
The character string in this format must not exceed 2,048 bytes in total.
Specify the following information:
- path-of-external-program
Specify an absolute or relative path to the external program to be launched when you click the Start button. Specify relative paths from the installation folder of JP1/AJS3 - View.
If the path to the external program contains spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotation marks (").
- parameters-passed-to-external-program
Specify an arbitrary character string or alternate string to pass to the external program. If you specify an alternate string, the string is replaced with the value obtained when the Monitor Details dialog box opens. If you specify the same alternate string more than once, each instance of the alternate string is replaced with the same value. If the system cannot acquire the information needed to replace the string, the alternate string is passed as-is to the external program.
The following table lists the variable strings you can specify.
No.
Variable string

- #2
-
If a unit name contains any of the following characters, an error occurs when the external program starts:
" (double quotation mark), &, ' (right single quotation mark), *, <, >, ?, [, \, ], ^, ' (left single quotation mark), {, |, }, and ~
