- Note
-
If you attempt to set up the cluster environment options while the JP1/Script service is not running, a dialog box containing the following error message appears:
The operation could not be performed because the JP1/Script service is not running. Launch the JP1/Script service, and then re-execute the operation.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Components
- Change output destination of management file
-
Changes the default folder for management file output (normally the DATA folder# in the JP1/Script installation folder).
Management files refer to the following files handled by JP1/Script: automatic start information file, server environment file, server trace file, trace management file, and global variables file.
- Output Folder
-
If you selected the Change output destination of management file check box, specify the folder for management file output.
Specify a folder in a shared directory in the clustering environment. You must specify a folder other than the DATA folder# in the JP1/Script installation folder.
- #
-
The server trace is output to the script execution environment folder (System Drive\ProgramData\Hitachi\Script\Data).
(2) Operations
-
If you click OK, a dialog box asks for confirmation that you want to change the output folder and restart. Choose the Restart button to apply the setting, close the Options dialog box, and restart the system.
-
Click Cancel to close the dialog box without applying the settings.
(3) Processing
-
JP1/Script can be used in a clustering environment, but it is not possible to resume execution of scripts that were running when the failover occurred. However, the execution environment can be inherited by the standby system if you change the default folder for management file output to a folder on the shared disk, using this dialog box. For details, see 2.3 Environment setup in a cluster system environment.
-
You must restart the system to apply the new setting in this dialog box.
If any management files were already in use before you changed the output folder, those files remain in the previous folder and their contents become invalid.
If any management files already exist in the new output folder, JP1/Script references those files and recreates any that are missing.
-
Multiple computers cannot concurrently reference a file that is output to the output folder.
-
If you select the Change output destination of management file check box, the trace files produced when the script file is activated concurrently from multiple processes are output to the Trace folder in the specified output folder. The folder specified in Trace file output folder in the Options (Multi-activation) dialog box (Tools menu) does not apply.
-
When you set a new output folder, the contents of the trace management file (SPTLOGDB.SPB) may not match the contents of the trace files. As a result, the contents displayed in the Trace Viewer window (file size and date modified) may be incorrect.
