8.5 Monitoring jobnets and jobs on a monthly basis

To check the execution schedule and execution status of a jobnet and jobs in units of months:

In the JP1/AJS3 - View window, in Function Menu, click Status Monitor.

Status Monitor is now selected.
In the tree area, click the job group that manages the jobnet whose execution schedule or execution status you want to check.

The job group you clicked is now selected.

The root jobnet appears in the list area.
Click the root jobnet containing the target jobnet, choose View, and then Monthly Schedule.

The following Monthly Schedule window appears.

Figure 8‒4: Monthly Schedule window
In the schedule area and the execution result list, check the execution schedule and the execution status of the jobnet and jobs.

The following explains the schedule area and execution result list area.
- The schedule area displays colored marks (rectangles and circles). Each colored mark represents the execution of one generation of a jobnet. A rectangle appears when the jobnet is registered for planned execution or immediate execution. A circle appears when the jobnet is registered for fixed execution. The colors of colored marks indicate the execution schedule and execution status of the jobnet. The color of a rectangle or circle indicates the execution schedule and execution status of the jobnet. For details about the meaning of the colors, see 12.7 Daily Schedule window. You can change the colors of the marks in the Preferences dialog box. For details on how to change the colors, see 12.3.42 Preferences dialog box.
- If a single jobnet is executed more than once in a day, the colored mark in the schedule area indicates the status of the last execution generation on that day.
- The execution result list displays the information about a jobnet or a job (name, execution start time, execution end time, execution schedule or execution status) selected in the tree area. When you click a colored mark, the corresponding information line in the execution result list is selected.
  
  When you click a date or a day of the week, the information about all the colored marks in the selection frame is displayed.
- You can move the selection frame in the schedule area to display the information of the past and the future. To move the selection frame, click the mouse button at the position you want the selection frame to be.
- By clicking one of the display month change buttons, you can display the information for the previous or next month.
- You can check the schedule of each execution generation. Click the desired colored mark in the schedule area or the desired line in the execution result list, choose View, and then Detailed Information to display the Detailed Schedule dialog box.
- If execution start or execution end is delayed, the frame of the corresponding colored mark in the schedule area becomes bold.

Example of checking the execution schedule and execution status

The following figure shows an example of checking the execution schedule and execution status of jobnet net01.

Cautionary notes

When jobnet execution spans two days, the execution status is displayed for the execution start day only. Even if you have set a 48-hour schedule on JP1/AJS3 - Manager and display a jobnet whose execution start time is 24:00 or later, the execution schedule appears on the specified open day (the first day of execution). If you want to check the status of a unit in such a case, use the Daily Schedule window.
When a jobnet is registered for planned execution or a jobnet is registered for fixed execution with the number of future generations specified, the system creates and displays a dummy schedule for the jobnet. You cannot change the dates or times in the dummy schedule. Also note that the system ignores the following settings you specify on the Definition page of the Define Details dialog box for dummy schedules:

- Concurrent exec. (the system assumes Enable)

- Schedule option (the system assumes Multi-schedule)

If the system is unable to predict when an event job will start, it assumes that there is no wait time.

Note that the execution result list does not display dummy schedules.

Supplementary note

If the execution schedule and the execution status are not displayed in the schedule area or the execution result area, perform the following:

Choose View and then Refresh to display the latest information.

The information in the Monthly Schedule window is not automatically updated.
To display the information about a month that has an execution schedule, either choose View, Change Display Month, and then Specify Month, or use the display month change buttons.

The Monthly Schedule window usually displays the information about the current month. Specifically, the Monthly Schedule window displays the execution schedules and execution status of a jobnet from the base day defined for the job group containing the target jobnet to the end of the current month. If there is no execution schedule of the current month, the execution schedule is not displayed on the window. Therefore, the information about the month with the execution schedule needs to be displayed on the window.
