2.2.3 The modification function

The modification function modifies specific manager host definition information for existing units.

With the modification function, you only need to specify the name of the target unit, the complete name of the upper unit, and the unit type as well as the area to be modified. You must mark the area to be modified (cells containing information to be modified) by pressing the F2 key.

If you use the modification function to export definition information without marking cells, the modifications will not be applied. To clear the marked cells, press the F3 key. You do not need to specify any other definition information.

The following figure shows the definition information management template when the modification function is executed.

You can execute the modification function even when the unit to be modified is running, except when you modify the Previous specification. You must change the target unit to the suspended status.

Note that the modification function cannot be used for the definition items in the Unit definition information section, Type of Unit common attribute information, Job group type of Job group definition information, the definition items in the Other definition information section, and the items in the Last updated time section.

The modification function also cannot be used for custom jobs or operation jobs. The cells of the definition items in the Custom job definition information section cannot be marked by pressing the F2 key. Instead, use the individual definition function to change custom jobs or operation jobs.

If you use the modification function for relations, you can connect or release relations, but you cannot change the relation type of existing relations. If you want to change the relation type, release the relation and then specify and define the desired relation type.

Do not specify Host to reference for a remote jobnet. If you so and then execute the modification function, the specified host is set as Target manager.
