Between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent
Between JP1/AJS3 - View and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Between Web Console server and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Between Web GUI and Web Console server
Between a user application and the Web Console server

Organization of this subsection

(1) Estimating the data volume between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent
(2) Estimating the data volume between JP1/AJS3 - View and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
(3) Estimating the data volume between Web Console server and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
(4) Estimating the data volume between Web GUI and Web Console server
(5) Estimating the data volume between a user application and the Web Console server

(1) Estimating the data volume between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent

You need to estimate the data involved in job executions and the transferring of execution results.

The following table shows an estimate for the volume of data between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent.

Estimate the same data volume when using queueless jobs too.

Table 3‒5: Estimate of data volume between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent
Type of information	Estimated volume of transferred data per job (units: bytes)
Job execution request transfers	When a job is executed from a jobnet: 2,300 + `contents-defined-in-the-definition-information-for-a-Unix job,-PC-job,-flexible-job,-and-HTTP-connection-job`^#1 + (8 x `number-of-specified-environment-variables`) + `unit-full-name-length` x 2 + `agent-host-name-size` x 2 + `manager-host-name-size` x 3 + `transfer-file-size`^#2 When a job is executed by using the `jpqjobsub` command: 2,300 + `total-size-of-the-options-in-the-jpqjobsub-command-and-the-values-specified-for-the-options` + (8 x `number-of-specified-environment-variables`) + `agent-host-name-size` x 2 + `manager-host-name-size` x 3 + `transfer-file-size`^#2
Job result transfers	600 + `manager-host-name-size` + `agent-host-name-size` + `result-file-size` (standard output, standard error output)^#3
Event job execution request transfers	Minimum: 256 Maximum: 25,600
Event job result transfers	Minimum: 512 Maximum: 7,168

#1

For details on what is defined in each piece of job definition information, see the following manuals:

ajsprint in 3. Commands Used for Normal Operations in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference
5.2.6 UNIX/PC job definition in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference
5.2.26 Flexible job definition in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference
5.2.27 HTTP Connection job definition in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Command Reference

To pass the information sent from an event job to the target job, add the size of the macro variables in the above estimate. For details about the size of the information to be passed to each type of event job, see B. Information Passed by Event Jobs in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 System Design (Work Tasks) Guide.

#2

The formula for estimating the size of the transfer file is as follows:

_file-count

[Figure] (file-name-length + file-size + (12 x number-of-lines-in-file) + 100)

#3

The formula for estimating the size of the result file is as follows:

_file-count

[Figure] (result-file-size + (12 x number-of-lines-in-file) + 116)

In cases where the system monitors an agent host where a problem not in the above table occurred, or where jobs registered for execution are monitored by polling, data is exchanged between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent. The volume of data per polling in such cases is shown below. Note that polling cannot monitor queueless jobs.

Table 3‒6: Estimated data volume between JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent when monitoring by polling
Type of data	Estimated volume of transferred data per polling (units: bytes)
Agent host status confirmation request transfers during trouble	300
Status confirmation request transfers for jobs being executed	350 + `size-of-agent-host-name`

(2) Estimating the data volume between JP1/AJS3 - View and JP1/AJS3 - Manager

You need to estimate the volume of data relating to such items as the definition of jobnets. Since the data size for communications for operation and so on is relatively small, we will not estimate it here.

The estimated volume of data between JP1/AJS3 - View and JP1/AJS3 - Manager is shown in the table below.

Table 3‒7: Estimated volume of data between JP1/AJS3 - View and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Window displayed	Estimated volume of transferred data (units: bytes)
JP1/AJS3 - View (Main window)	`number-of-units` x 500
JP1/AJS3 - View (Summary Monitor window)	`total-number-of-schedules`^#1 x 400
Jobnet Editor	`number-of-units` x 250 + `number-of-relation-lines` x 50
Jobnet Monitor	`number-of-units` x 300 + `number-of-relation-lines` x 50
Daily Schedule or Monthly Schedule	`total-number-of-schedules`^{#1, #2} x 150
Search	`number-of-search-results` x 450

#1

This is the number of execution schedules and execution results for all of the units under the root jobnet.

If a job group is specified for operation, this number is the number of execution schedules and execution results for all of the units under the root jobnet directly under the job group.

#2

This item also includes the number of schedules for unregistered units when the Monthly Schedule window displays execution schedules for unregistered units.

The following are some example estimates of data volumes:

When a jobnet defined with 300 units and 100 relation lines is checked in the Jobnet Monitor window:

300 x 300 + 100 x 50 = 95,000 (units: bytes)
When the execution schedule and execution results for an operation in which the daily execution of 100 jobnets with 100 jobs defined for them is planned is checked in the Daily Schedule window:

100 x 100 x 150 = 1,500,000 (units: bytes)

JP1/AJS3 - View acquires information from JP1/AJS3 - Manager automatically at regular intervals. The defaults are 30 seconds for the Jobnet Monitor window, and 300 seconds for other windows. Settings can be made from 30 seconds upward. When you have to estimate the volume of data flowing in the network, make the calculation based on the update interval of JP1/AJS3 - View and the data size required for each window.

(3) Estimating the data volume between Web Console server and JP1/AJS3 - Manager

You need to estimate the data volume related to such items as acquiring jobnet statuses. Since the data size for communications for operation and so on is relatively small, we will not estimate it here.

The estimated volume of data between Web Console server and JP1/AJS3 - Manager is shown in the table below.

Table 3‒8: Estimated volume of data between Web Console server and JP1/AJS3 - Manager
Type of data	Estimated volume of transferred data (units: bytes)
Information required to display the Dashboard screen	`sum-of-the-volume-of-data-used-by-each-monitored-unit`^#1 + 10,900
Information required to display the List screen	`number-of-units` x 370 + 2,100
Information required to display the Monthly Schedule screen	18,300 + `number-of-units` x (`total-number-of-schedules`^#2 + `number-of-schedules-for-a-single-day`^#3) x 440
Information required to display the Monitor dialog box^#4	`number-of-units` x 820 + `number-of-relation-lines` x 50 + 22,430
Information acquired by a unit summary acquisition API function	`number-of-units` x 4,400 + 3,025
Information required to display the Execution Agent Management screen	`number-of-execution-agents` x 800 + 5,300
Information required to display the Execution Agent Group Management screen	`number-of-execution-agent-groups` x (500 + (`number-of-associated-execution-agents` x 300)) + 5,300

#1

The following formula is used to estimate the volume of data used for each monitored target.

number-of-units x the-number-of-generations-on-the-monitoring-target-date x 1,600 + 2,740

#2

This number indicates the total number of execution schedules and execution results for the month displayed in the Schedule area. This number also includes the number of schedules for unregistered units.

#3

This number indicates the total number of execution schedules and execution results for a single day displayed in the List area. This number also includes the number of schedules for unregistered units.

#4

The estimated volume of data transmitted for the Monitor screen is the same as that transmitted for the Monitor dialog box.

The following shows an example estimate when 20 units match the condition of the unit summary acquisition API function:

20 x 4,400 + 3,025 = 91,025 (unit: bytes)

(4) Estimating the data volume between Web GUI and Web Console server

The estimated volume of data between Web GUI server and Web Console server is shown in the table below.

Table 3‒9: Estimated volume of data between Web GUI and Web Console server
Window displayed	Estimated volume of transferred data (units: bytes)
Dashboard screen	`sum-of-the-volume-of-data-used-by-each-monitored-unit`^#1 + 20,200
List screen	`number-of-units` x 4,700 + 3,700
Monthly Schedule screen	4,000 + (`number-of-units` x `number-of-days-for-which-schedules-exist`^#2 x 1,400) + (`number-of-schedules-for-a-single-day`^#3 x 1,200)
Monitor dialog box^#4	`number-of-units` x 4,100 + `number-of-relation-lines` x 70 + 13,200
Apply Operating Permission Settings dialog box^#5	`file-size-of-the-Operating-Permission-Configuration-File-specified-in-the-Apply-Operating-Permission-Settings -dialog-box` + 1,700
Message dialog (Confirmation of the acquisition of the Operating Permission Configuration File)^#6	`file-size-of-the-Operating-Permission-Configuration-File-applied-to-the-host-to-which-a-connection-is-to-be-established` + 1,100
Information required to display the Execution Agent Management screen	`number-of-execution-agents` x 800 + 1,200
Information required to display the Execution Agent Group Management screen	`number-of-execution-agent-groups` x (500 + (`number-of-associated-execution-agents` x 300)) + 1,000

#1

The following formula is used to estimate the volume of data used for each monitored target.

number-of-units x the-number-of-generations-on-the-monitoring-target-date x 3,900 + 1,590

#2

This number indicates the number of days for which execution schedules and execution results, which are displayed in the Schedule area, exist. This number also includes the number of schedules for unregistered units.

#3

This number indicates the total number of execution schedules and execution results for a single day for the unit displayed in the List area. This number also includes the number of schedules for unregistered units.

#4

The estimated volume of data transmitted for the Monitor screen is the same as that transmitted for the Monitor dialog box.

#5

Data to be used if the operation restriction function is enabled.

This dialog box is for specifying the Operating Permission Configuration File to be applied. This dialog box is displayed when Management - Operating Permission Settings - Apply is selected in the menu. The maximum size of the Operating Permission Configuration File is 3 megabytes.

#6

Data to be used if the operation restriction function is enabled. This dialog box is for confirming whether to acquire the Operating Permission Configuration File. This dialog box is displayed when Management - Operating Permission Settings - Acquire is selected in the menu. The maximum size of the Operating Permission Configuration File is 3 megabytes.

The following are some example estimates of data volumes:

If there are 10 units to be monitored, 99 units are defined under the each monitored target, each unit is scheduled to be performed once on the monitoring-target date, and the window to be displayed is the Dashboard screen:

10 x (100 x 1 x 3,900 + 1,590) + 20,200 = 3,936,100 (unit: bytes)
If a jobnet under which 300 units and 100 relation lines are directly defined is to be displayed in the Monitor dialog box:

300 x 4,100 + 100 x 70 + 13,200 = 1,250,200 (unit: bytes)
To display 1 root jobnet with 500 subordinate units, 10 execution schedules per day, repeating daily (including holidays), in the Monthly Schedule screen:

4,000 + 501 x 43,600 + 300 x 1,200 = 22,207,600 (units: bytes)

Note that if automatic update is set to ON in the Web GUI, the Web Console server communicates with the Web Console server and with JP1/AJS3 - Manager at regular intervals.

(5) Estimating the data volume between a user application and the Web Console server

The following table shows the estimated volume of data transferred between a user application and the Web Console server.

Table 3‒10: Estimated volume of data transferred between a user application and the Web Console server
Type of data	Estimated volume of transferred data (units: bytes)
Unit summary acquisition API function	`number-of-units` x 7,040 + 2,600

The following shows an example of estimating the transfer data volume when 20 units match the condition of the unit summary acquisition API function:

20 x 7,040 + 2,600 = 143,400 (units: bytes)
