7.1 Registering jobnets for execution
Now that a jobnet is defined and the schedule is defined for the jobnet, the next step is to execute the jobnet. To execute a jobnet, you must register the root jobnet for execution. The nested jobnets in the root jobnet are registered for execution at the same time. Nested jobnets alone cannot be registered for execution.
The method of registration for execution depends on how the jobnet is to be executed. There are three methods of registering a jobnet for execution. The following table shows the relationship between the execution methods of jobnets and the registration methods for execution. For jobnet execution, see 4. Executing an Application in the manual JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Overview.
Jobnet execution method |
Registration method for execution |
---|---|
To execute a jobnet according to a defined schedule |
|
To execute a jobnet according to a defined scheduled for a specified period of time with certainty |
|
To invalidate the schedule defined for a jobnet and execute the jobnet immediately |
- Cautionary notes
-
-
Jobnets other than the root jobnet cannot be registered for execution.
-
For root jobnets in planning groups, use fixed-execution registration. Registration for planned-execution or immediate-execution registration is unusable for such root jobnets.
-
If a jobnet is already registered for planned execution and has the next execution schedule, the jobnet cannot be registered for another type of execution.
-
When the Jobnet Editor window is open and displays the jobnet you want to register for execution, do not select the Exclusive edit check box.
