An agent management function has been added for specifying a logical execution agent name as the destination host for a job or jobnet. Previously, users could only specify execution hosts by their real names.

Jobs that are in the Now queuing status when the service is stopped are now returned to the Wait for prev. to end status when the service restarts (in hot-start mode), before being resubmitted.

A jobnet release function has been added for replacing the definition of a jobnet that is registered for execution with another definition.

The job execution control manager process (jpqman) and event/action control manager process (jpomanager) can now be started on a scheduler service basis.

A scheduler log file can now be output for an individual scheduler service or host.

The following functions have been enhanced:

• The method by which the number of logs to keep is managed

• The process by which monitored generations of jobnets with start conditions are established

• The process by which execution generations when a start condition is established are held

A function has been added to support end delay monitoring based on how long a job takes to execute.

The jobnet connector functionality has been enhanced to enable control of the execution order of root jobnets managed by different scheduler services.

The definition pre-check has been enhanced so that if an invalid execution order is found in the units of the jobnet being checked, the names of the units are output to the check results file.

The file permission check performed at execution of a Unix job has been enhanced to include checks of the access control list and secondary group settings as well as file permissions.

• NotificationRetryInterval

• NotificationRetryCount

• ClientConnectTimeout

A Detailed Information area has been added to the JP1/AJS3 - View window (Main window), which displays detailed information about a unit.

The concurrent execution setting of monitored generations and the holding behavior of execution generations (produced when a start condition is satisfied) can now be selected in the detailed definition of a start condition.

A list filter function has been added for filtering the information in a list.

A function has been added for saving list information in CSV format.

You can now click a button in the Daily Schedule window and Monthly Schedule window to move between days and months.

A list area has been added to the Jobnet Editor window and Jobnet Monitor window. This area displays the jobs defined in the jobnet.
