JP1 Version 12 JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide


3.1 Overview of backing up and restoring jobnets

You can back up and restore the unit definition information for each job, jobnet, or job group. You can also create a backup of unit definition information and execute a jobnet distributed to different scheduler services or hosts.

When distributing a job group or jobnet, you can use JP1/Software Distribution or JP1/FTP. Since JP1/Software Distribution can automatically distribute redefined jobnets, it lets you manage JP1/AJS3's applications on hosts more easily. For details about automatic distribution of JP1/Software Distribution, see 11. Automatic Distribution Using JP1/Software Distribution in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Linkage Guide.

We recommend that only a user with administrator privileges or superuser privileges perform backup and restoration.

Important

The information that can be backed up by using the method described here is information that defines a jobnet or job. Therefore, you cannot use JP1/AJS3 to back up a jobnet or job including its related information such as execution results. If you want to back up and restore the information including execution results of a jobnet or job, use the OS functionality. Before you do so, stop all the JP1/AJS3 services on the manager host and related agent host.
