1.3 General procedures

JP1/Advanced Shell consists of the execution environment (JP1/Advanced Shell) and the development environment (JP1/Advanced Shell - Developer). Job definition scripts created in the development environment are executed in the execution environment.

The users of JP1/Advanced Shell are classified as system administrators and general users, based on their system permissions. The following table explains the roles of these two classes of users.

Table 1‒1: Classification of JP1/Advanced Shell users
JP1/Advanced Shell user		Role
System administrator		This user is responsible for system operations. The superuser permission must have been assigned to this user beforehand. The system administrator manages an environment that can run JP1/Advanced Shell and registers the general users who will use JP1/Advanced Shell.
General user	Developer	This user's responsibilities include creation and debugging of job definition scripts.
General user	Operator	This user defines and runs JP1/Advanced Shell, checks the execution results, and handles JP1/Advanced Shell execution errors, if any. For details about the operator's tasks when JP1/AJS is used, see 3.1.1 Operator's tasks in JP1/AJS jobs.

The following figure shows the overall system configuration of JP1/Advanced Shell.

Figure 1‒4: Overall system configuration of JP1/Advanced Shell

To use a JP1/Advanced Shell system:

The developer uses JP1/Advanced Shell Editor to develop job definition scripts; this is always done in the Windows development environment.
The job definition scripts from JP1/Advanced Shell Editor are saved.
The job definition scripts are transferred to the execution environment.
In the execution environment, the operator uses the following methods to send instructions to execute the job definition scripts:
- Automatic execution using JP1/AJS
- Manual execution from the command prompt and UNIX shell
The job definition script execution results output by JP1/Advanced Shell are checked.
