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


C. Glossary

abnormal end

A jobnet ends abnormally if one of the processes defined in the jobnet fails to execute properly. The jobnet is interrupted at that point and subsequent processes are not executed.

A job ends abnormally if it fails to execute properly. The process is interrupted at that point.

agent host

A host that executes jobs on request from a manager host. JP1/AJS3 - Agent must be installed on the agent host, or since JP1/AJS3 - Manager also provides JP1/AJS3 - Agent functionality, JP1/AJS3 - Manager might be installed on the agent host.

The agent host executes the job on receipt of a job request from the manager host. At completion of the job, the agent host receives the execution result (return value) of the executable file and forwards it to the manager host.

calendar information

Information about open days and closed days for jobnet execution. You can define calendar information separately for each job group. The calendar information specifies the days on which jobnets in the job group can and cannot be executed. (When the processing cycle falls on a closed day, the jobnet can be executed on another day if a substitute schedule is defined.)

For open days, you can specify the base day, base month, and base time.

closed day

A day on which jobnets are not executed. However, if Execute without shift is specified, the jobnet will be executed on that closed day.

Daily Schedule window

A window that displays each day's execution schedules, execution status, and execution results.

fixed execution registration

A method of registering a jobnet so that it starts and runs at a predetermined date and time calculated by the system from schedule definitions.

immediate execution registration

A method for starting and processing a jobnet immediately after registering it for execution.

job

A group of commands, shell scripts, or Windows executable files.

job group

A folder for classifying and managing jobnets.

jobnet

A set of jobs associated in execution order. When a jobnet is executed, the jobs in the jobnet are automatically executed in their predetermined order.

Jobnet Editor window

A window in which you can create new jobnets or edit existing jobnets.

Jobnet Monitor window

A window that displays the execution status or detailed execution results of jobnets or jobs. You can manipulate jobnets or jobs in this window.

JP1 permission level

A name that indicates the operations that a JP1 user is allowed to perform on management targets (resources) defined in JP1/AJS3, including applications and events. Use JP1/Base to define JP1 permission levels.

JP1 resource group

A name given to a specific JP1/AJS3 unit for controlling access by JP1 users to that unit.

JP1 user

A user designation for using JP1/AJS3 or JP1/IM - Manager. Each JP1 user is registered in the authentication server, which controls the user's access to management targets (resources).

JP1/Base

JP1/Base is a prerequisite program for JP1/IM and JP1/AJS3. When a system that uses JP1/IM and JP1/AJS3 is installed, operation permissions (JP1 permission levels) can be set for JP1 users.

manager host

The manager host creates jobnet execution schedules from the defined schedule information. At jobnet run time, the manager host starts the executable files defined as jobs, forwards the job definitions to an agent host, and requests the agent host to execute the jobs. When execution completes, the execution result is received by the agent host and the database is updated. Based on the updated information, the manager host executes a succeeding job or schedules the next execution of the jobnet.

maximum number of concurrently executable jobs

The maximum number of jobs that can be executed concurrently.

Monthly Schedule window

A window that displays each month's execution schedules and execution results.

nested jobnet

A jobnet defined within another jobnet.

normal end

A normal end of a jobnet occurs when all the processes defined in the jobnet have executed correctly and the jobnet has completed.

A normal end of a job occurs when the job has executed correctly.

open day

A day when jobnets run.

planned execution registration

A method of registering a jobnet so that it starts and executes according to schedule definitions.

schedule rule

Jobnet information such as execution start time and processing cycle. Up to 144 schedule rules can be defined for a single jobnet.

unit

A generic term for any job network element.

Web GUI

An interface that uses a web browser to monitor units that are defined on the manager host. Web GUI connects to the Web Console server via a network such as the Internet. With Web GUI, you can monitor the execution status and result of jobnets, and execute and operate jobnets.
