4.5.5 Setting the window display

(1) Refresh interval

Decide whether to automatically refresh the unit status information displayed in the JP1/AJS3 - View windows.

You can specify auto-refresh for the JP1/AJS3 - View window, Daily Schedule window, and Jobnet Monitor window. The refresh interval can be set separately for each window. For example, you can set the refresh interval to 300 seconds for the JP1/AJS3 - View window, and 30 seconds for the Jobnet Monitor window. Set the refresh interval as a value from 30 to 3600 (seconds).

For details about setting the window refresh interval, see 11.4.2 Setting the window refresh interval in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

Refreshing windows increases the load on JP1/AJS3 - Manager. If the increased load is likely to affect the execution of work tasks, disable auto-refreshing or set a longer refresh interval, whichever is operationally appropriate.

If you prefer to refresh windows manually, choose View, and then Refresh to display the latest information.

(2) Save status setting

Decide whether to display the active window and current unit the next time JP1/AJS3 - View is started. This is the save status setting.

When the save status setting is enabled, the window and unit you are working on will be displayed the next time you start JP1/AJS3 - View. If you are creating a large-scale work task, this setting will save time in searching for the unit you want to work on.

For example, suppose you are using a terminal for monitoring work tasks. With the target unit displayed in the Jobnet Monitor window or Daily Schedule window, choose Options, Save Status, and then Save. The next time you log in, the saved status (active Jobnet Monitor window or Daily Schedule window) will be displayed, so you can monitor the target unit from the active window as soon as you log in. The displayed execution status and result, however, will be the unit's current status and result at the time JP1/AJS3 - View started.

When the save status setting is disabled, only the JP1/AJS3 - View window is displayed at startup, and only the root jobnet and the job groups directly under the root job group appear in the window.

• If you log in to a host other than the host where the window information was saved, the window is not displayed in the saved state.
