4.5.2 Common settings for JP1 users

This subsection describes how to use common settings for JP users (common user profile).

JP1/AJS3 can save (upload) the configuration information set in JP1/AJS3 - View to the JP1/AJS3 - Manager in which the user is logged in. This configuration information is called the common user profile. The common user profile is information that is common to all JP1 users. The following information is saved as a common user profile:

Settings in the Preferences dialog box
Settings in the ajs2view_opt.conf file
Default settings in dialog boxes

You can download the common user profile that is saved in JP1/AJS3 - Manager from JP1/AJS3 - View. If you download this profile, JP1/AJS3 - View is updated with the saved configuration information.

You can use the common user profile when:

You log in to JP1/AJS3 - Manager as a new JP1 user, and you want to use JP1/AJS3 - View with the same settings that other JP1 users use.
You want to customize the new JP1/AJS3 - View to use familiar settings.

We recommend that you use a common user profile to set up the JP1/AJS3 - View environment if you need to ease the task of setting up the environment for each JP1 user.

For details about the common user profile, see 11.1.2 Using common user profiles in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

(2) Notes on using common settings

Note the following when using common settings:

Users can upload and download common settings, and change the common settings saved on a JP1/AJS3 - Manager host, regardless of their JP1 user privileges or the rights of the mapped OS user. To allow only certain users to upload or download a common user profile, deactivate the menu commands. For details about how to do so, see 11.3.9 Disabling menus in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.
The OS user mapped to a JP1 user who uploads a common user profile requires the write privilege (permission to write to a file). Grant the write privilege to the following folders:

Physical host (Windows):
- JP1/AJS3-Manager-installation-folder\conf
- Mgr_Path\conf\Profiles
- Mgr_Path\conf\Profiles\(common)
The default Mgr_Path folder is as follows:

system-drive\ProgramData\HITACHI\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2

Physical host (UNIX):
- /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf
- /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles
- /etc/opt/jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles/(common)
Logical host (Windows):
- shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf
- shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf\Profiles
- shared-folder\jp1ajs2\conf\Profiles\(common)
Logical host (UNIX):
- shared-directory/jp1ajs2/conf
- shared-directory//jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles
- shared-directory//jp1ajs2/conf/Profiles/(common)
When multiple JP1 users update a common user profile, the JP1 user settings that were most recently uploaded take effect.
The OS user who downloads a common user profile (starts JP1/AJS3 - View) requires the write privilege (permission to write to a file). Grant the write privilege to the following folders:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Hitachi\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\JP1AJS2V\conf\JP1-user-name\ajs2view_opt.conf

By default, %ALLUSERSPROFILE% resides in system-drive\ProgramData.
