The JP1/Base service and JP1/AJS3 service need to be active to define or execute work tasks in JP1/AJS3. Start the JP1/Base service before starting the JP1/AJS3 service. Stop the JP1/Base and JP1/AJS3 services when you finish defining or executing work tasks.
-
In a manager/agent configuration, you need to start and end the JP1/AJS3 service on both JP1/AJS3 - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Agent.
-
Do not change the system date and time after starting the JP1/AJS3 service as this will affect the jobnet execution schedule. For details about this issue, see 7.9.3 Changing the date and time of the system in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Administration Guide.
-
When you start JP1/AJS3 - View to perform operations on a jobnet registered for execution from JP1/AJS3 - View, make the time zone of the JP1/AJS3 - View host the same as the time zone of the connected JP1/AJS3 service.
When you perform operations on a jobnet from JP1/AJS3 - View, the time in the time zone in which the JP1/AJS3 service is running is displayed in JP1/AJS3 - View. Therefore, if the time zones are different, the time of actual operations and the time displayed in JP1/AJS3 - View will be out of sync by the difference between the two time zones. For details, see 2.4.1 Time zones.
