3.3 Registering custom PC jobs or custom Unix jobs

To use JP1/AJS3 - View to default define custom jobs into a jobnet, you must register them.

To link UNIX versions of JP1 series products, register a job as a custom Unix job. For details of information you specify when linking the UNIX version of a JP1 series product, see the documentation for the product.

Prepare a GIF file for an icon before registering a job.

To register a custom job:

1. From the Start menu of Windows, choose JP1_Automatic Job Management System 3 - View, and then Register Custom Jobs.

   The Register Custom Job dialog box appears.

2. To register a new custom job, click the Add button. To modify an existing custom job, select the custom job you want to modify and then click the Change button.

   The Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box appears.

3. In this dialog box, specify the custom job name, the executable program, and other necessary items.

   For details about the items displayed in the Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box and the items you specify in the Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box, see 12.13.2 Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

4. Click the OK button.

   The Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box closes.

5. In the Register Custom Job dialog box, click the Close button.

   The Register Custom Job dialog box closes.

6. Store a created or selected icon GIF file in the JP1/AJS3 - View-installation-folder\image\custom.

   The format of the gif file name differs depending on the job type.

   For a custom PC job, which will be executed on a Windows host, the icon file name must have the following format:

   CUSTOM_PC_USER_any-name.gif

   For a custom Unix job, which will be executed on a UNIX host, the icon file name must have the following format:

   CUSTOM_UX_USER_any-name.gif

   The USER_any-name portion must match the class name. For details about class names, see 12.13.2 Set Properties of Custom Job dialog box in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

7. In the Jobnet Editor window, click the Custom Jobs tab to ensure that the icon of the custom job is added.

The method of defining the custom job into a jobnet is the same as PC jobs and Unix jobs.
