JP1 Version 12 Job Management: Getting Started (Job Scheduler)


1.3.4 Setting up the prerequisite product

Register JP1 users (accounts reserved for JP1 only) in JP1/Base, and then set operation permissions for the JP1 users. Then, associate the JP1 users with OS users so that the JP1 users can access OS resources.

Setting up JP1/Base on the manager host consists of the following four steps:

Setting up an authentication server:

An authentication server manages access permissions of JP1 users. Set up the server on which JP1/Base is installed as an authentication server.

Registering JP1 users in the authentication server:

Register JP1 users in the authentication server.

Setting operation permissions for JP1 users:

Set permissions (JP1 permission levels) that allow JP1 users to define and execute applications.

Setting user mapping:

User mapping is an operation to associate JP1 users with OS users on the host on which jobs are executed.

To execute a job in JP1/AJS3, a JP1 user accesses OS resources such as executable files by using permissions of an OS user associated with the JP1 user, and then performs processing. Therefore, the JP1 user must be associated with an OS user on the host on which the job is executed.

The following figure shows an overview of user mapping.

Figure 1‒2: User mapping

[Figure]

In this figure, the job executed by the JP1 user user01 on the JP1/AJS3 - View host is executed by the OS user MAN_OSuser on the manager host. If the job is transferred to the agent host, the job is executed by the OS user AGT_OSuser on the agent host.

Tip

If you performed the automatic setup processing when installing JP1/Base, the information shown below is automatically specified as initial settings. If you perform operations using the users in the initial settings, you do not need to set up JP1/Base.

No.
