4.3.2 Performing batch definition of definition information

This subsection explains how to batch export definition information, as set in the definition information management template, to the manager host.

To perform batch definition:

  1. Open the definition information management template.

    Open the execution result file, or the master file copied under another name.

  2. Enter the definition information.

    Enter and edit the necessary definition information.

    Click the CHECK button to check whether the input definition information satisfies the input conditions set by the user.

  3. For Section, specify Batch.

    Select Batch from the list box, or input it directly. Press F5 to specify batch for all of the rows defined.

    Input Batch for all rows to be exported.

  4. Click the EXPORT button.

    The Export of unit definition dialog box appears. If the JP1 user name, the name of the manager host to connect, the name of the scheduler service, and the name of the unit to be exported are specified in the environment settings file, the information set will appear as the defaults.

    Note that for large numbers of units or depending on the specifications of the machine that you are using, it might take time for the Export dialog box to appear, because the machine environment or the definition is checked after the EXPORT button is clicked.

  5. Enter information for the export destination.

    Enter the following items:

    • User name (Only when the user authentication function is used)

      Specify the JP1 user name that will be used for export.

    • Password (Only when the user authentication function is used)

      Specify the password of the JP1 user that will be used for export.

    • Host name

      Enter the name of the manager host for the export destination.

    • Service name

      Enter the name of the scheduler service for the export destination.

    • Character code type

      This field displays a grayed out drop-down list with C selected, which indicates that the character code type of the connection target is assumed to be C.

    • Unit name

      Enter the complete name of the existing upper unit whose definition information you want to export. The entered name must not exceed 930 bytes. Wildcards (such as * and ?) cannot be used.

      The following are example values for Unit name:

      /

      [Figure]Exports definition information immediately below the root job group. For example, if you specify JOB as the Unit name cell in the Unit definition information section and specify NET as the Complete name of upper unit cell, /NET/JOB is defined.

      /GROUP

      [Figure] Exports definition information immediately below /GROUP. For example, if you specify JOB as the Unit name cell of the Unit definition information section and specify NET as the Complete name of upper unit cell, /GROUP/NET/JOB is defined.

      [Figure] The export destination is determined from the value specified for the unit name and the complete name of the upper unit of the uppermost unit of the unit that was specified in a batch in the Excel file.

      For example, if the following is defined in the Excel file and JOBGROUP has been entered for the unit name, the export destination will be /JOBGROUP/GROUP/NET.

      sections

      unit names

      complete names of upper unit

      Batch

      NET

      /GROUP

      Batch

      JOBA

      /GROUP/NET

    The input items for the Export of unit definition dialog box cannot be omitted.

  6. Click the OK button.

    Export processing starts.

  7. Check the export results.

    When export is completed, the KAVZ0402-I message dialog box will be displayed. Click the OK button, and check the execution results, which are output to an execution result file. For details about the name and output folder of this file, see A.2 Files created during import and export.

    If the definition information contains an error, the color of the cell of Section in the row containing the error changes color, and an error message is output at the end of that row (Error message information section). Act accordingly based on this error message. For details of actions taken against the JP1/AJS messages output, see 6.4.1 Export does not terminate normally.

Note that you can perform automatic export when the template is opened, by specifying the environment settings parameters ahead of time. For details about the environment settings parameters, see 3.2 Environment settings parameters.

As Unit name in the Export of unit definition dialog becomes the destination of the definition in the batch definition case, we recommend re-import the unit definition created by the export and them manage the definition information. If Individual, Change, or Delete is performed on the unit definition created by batch definition, use the import execution result file.
