4.2 Importing definition information

This section explains the procedures for taking unit information defined on the manager host and loading into the definition information management template for JP1/AJS3 - Definition Assistant.

To perform import:

From the Start menu of Windows, select All Programs, JP1_Automatic Job Management System 3 - Definition Assistant, and then Import definition information.^#1

The master file for the definition information management template opens.

Import is performed from either the master file of the definition information management template^#2, or a copy of the master file saved under another name. Import cannot be performed from the execution result file.

You can also open the definition information management template directly by double-clicking the master file, or from JP1/AJS3 - View.

The Import of unit definition dialog box is displayed. If the JP1 user name, the name of the manager host to be connected, the name of the scheduler service, and the unit name to be imported have been set in the environment settings file, the values set will be displayed as the defaults.
