6.1 Steps required for defining a schedule

This section describes the steps that are required to define the schedule of a jobnet using JP1/AJS3 - View.

The following three steps are required to define a schedule:

• Define calendar information in the job group.

  In the Edit Monthly Calendar window or the Edit Annual Calendar window of JP1/AJS3 - View, define the calendar information (open days and closed days) in the job group.

  Define calendar information for each job group. The defined calendar information is valid for all the jobnets in the job group. However, when you define the schedule of each jobnet, you can specify that the calendar information of another job group is to be used.

  When you define a job group under another job group, the lower-level job group can inherit the calendar information from the upper-level job group. Therefore, defining calendar information in a lower-level job group is optional.

• Define the schedule of a jobnet.

  In the Schedule Settings dialog box and the Schedule Rule dialog box of JP1/AJS3 - View, define the schedule of a jobnet. As the elements of the schedule, define the expiration date of the schedule, the execution start date of the schedule, the execution processing cycle, and the calendar information to be used.

  Define a schedule for each jobnet. However, if jobnets are nested, you can inherit the schedule rules of an upper-level jobnet. In this case, you can choose whether or not to define a schedule rule.

• Check the defined schedule.

  In the Monthly Schedule window of JP1/AJS3 - View, check the defined schedule.
